Latest SVN - running on XP2 PRO, SP2.



(This is a XP problem, I belive - because the same size is given there.)

Lots of my recordings are 9 kb - even if they recordings over one hour (I deleted many since I thought they were crap ).

When playing them all is ok - and they use the correct amount of diskspace - but is only measured to 9 kb - and a few seconds playtime in MP.



Any help is appritiated!

Hi Okay,

I guess you used the record now button?
In this case one 9kb dvr-ms file will be created and several *.sbe files.
These files are hidden, and that's why windows xp won't show them by default.

Use the scheduler to avoid this.
Has been asked several times:

Thanks... that explains why some of the recordings are displayed correctly.
