[QUOTE="Boilermaker, post: 16177, member: 10306"] I hadn't actually tried to compress anything until i saw your reply to this post....i was only commenting on the organization, not if/how compression worked. i did record a couple minutes of tv to try it out, and it worked for me. i really didnt do anything specific, i am using mediaportal-cvs-06-16-2005--02-23.rar right now. i was having a problem with something else, so just prior to updating to this cvs version, i uninstalled mp entirely, installed .1.2.0 then updated. i also copied the mencoder files into the mencoder directory, but didn not register anything beyond that (such as registering dlls). my current compression settings are: type: wmv quality: high priority: high altho delete original file is checked, i cannot change it, nor did it actually delete the original file. i dont have any codec packs installed, just the nvidia dvd decoder, dscaler .0.0.6 and ffdshow. i dont know if any of this helped, i played with the compression too much, as i was reskinning mce for my widescreen, my previous post were some of my observations. EDIT....the latest cvs has added a few lines to the first compressoin screen that explains you need elecard mpg2 decoders installed to encode to wmv or xvid. i had elecard installed at one point, but uninstalled it, but it still seems to be working for me. maybe one of the other decoders is replacing elecard, if you dont have elecard installed, that could be the source of the problem.
