[QUOTE="MartinSmith, post: 179862"] With an ATI TV Wonder 650, according to my Registry, MP stores TV recordings in the "C:\Documents and Settings\%\My Documents\My Recordings\card2\" directory as found under HKLM\SOFTWARE\MediaPortal\DVR\IO\Writer\DVRDirectory. In the "card2" subdirectory, there exists a (single) subdirectory folder named TempSBE. While this is the location specified in my Registry, MP actually stores TV recordings in the "C:\Documents and Settings\%\My Documents\My Recordings" directory. The block size (or cluster size) on my C:\ drive is configured to Windows XP default. On my G:\ drive, a logical partition, the block size is configured to 64K - specifically for large MPEG2 TV recordings and DVD files. I would prefer MP to store/save recordings on my G:\ drive instead of the C:\ drive. I tried changing the above Registry KEY to DVRDirectory = "G:\My Recordings\ and a couple of variations including G:\Documents and Settings\%\My Documents\My Recordings" directory with subdirectory TempSBE in the card2 subdirectory. Unfortunately, when I opened MP, it re-wrote the Registry back to the "C:\Documents and Settings\%\My Documents\My Recordings\card2\" directory as found under HKLM\SOFTWARE\MediaPortal\DVR\IO\Writer\DVRDirectory. Is there any simple way to modify or change MP to save recordings to a location other than "C:\Documents and Settings\%\My Documents\My Recordings\card2\" directory as found under HKLM\SOFTWARE\MediaPortal\DVR\IO\Writer\DVRDirectory?
