[QUOTE="ca n vt, post: 73926, member: 23034"] So just out of curiosity I converted one of these shows that I am refering to to mpeg instead of the dvr-ms that MP originally saved it in and now it will fastforward just fine. However there are a couple problems. One, the program I downloaded to convert the file not only was a trial that left this scirpt accross the screen after finishing but it really compressed it and I lost a lot of quality. I don't think that that should have happened. Isn't DVR-MS basically just mpeg anyway? It also won't play in MP now. It will play in everything else including media player 10 which doesn't really make sense to me since if it will play in Media Player it should play in Media Portal shouldn't it? I've seen posts related to converting to mpeg from within Media Portal. Is this possible? I can't find anything just from looking around in my main screen. I notice the compress option but it doesn't seem to do anything and I seem to not find any files when I try to use dvr-mpeg cutter plugin but I don't see any way to configure it to find them.
