Memory usage increases the longer I watch HDTV (1 Viewer)

[Tonylmiller]

I have attached a picture of Task Manager while I watch HDTV for about 5 minutes. You can see how the memory usage just keeps increasing. I have just installed, and I can watch TV fine for a few minutes with sound. Unfortunately I do not know what to do about all the codecs and such, so I hope that is not the problem. I just downloaded the latest version today from sourceforge and did the "one click" install. Note that I am using a USB tuner, which seems to be working fine.

Tried PowerDVD 7 or 8 in stead of PCM h.264 ACM Decoder?

The PowerDVD options do not show up in my dropdown for the codec. Any idea where I can get them? I do have PowerDVD on my system.

O.k., I switched over to recording in .ts format instead of .mpg. It is working much better all around, now.

Ok, nice to hear.
