[QUOTE="revs, post: 345154, member: 42810"] I'm afraid that the XML file is gone as when I realized that the recording had failed I deleted it. The drive has 800+ GB free, so no problems there. Maybe it was the ... UPDATE: Yes definately the ... As I tried recording "close encounters of ..." and "star wars II..." last week. They both failed too!! XML file was created in each instance though. What do I need to do to get this on mantis? ;-) UPDATE2: When creating a directory in Windows ending in "..." the "..." is removed. This is also the case with recordings, the directory created did not have "..." Maybe the recording fails as it wants to place the .ts file in \myrecording...\video.ts however windows has stripped the "..." so actual path would be \myrecording\video.ts ?? The removal of "..." only seems to affect directories - as files in windows can have "myfile....xml" quite happily. Also of note - the directory path ending in "..." is also passed to comskip - so guess this would also fail! UPDATE 3: any "." after a directory name are removed - be it 1, 3 or 10000 [/QUOTE]
