The compression process from DVR-MS to XviD freezes MP, even though its set to min priority? It takes forever, but has completed a 20min show in a few hours.

Any way of getting the rest of MP to work properly while compressing?

I'm shocked you even got the DVR-MS to XVID compression function to work! There's been a number of posts about it in General Support but I think it's all a moot point until the new tv engine comes out.

Yes get a Athlon X2 processor.

Heavy handed i know, but guaranteed to work.

Yeah, it wasnt that hard, just installed the Elecard codec, then got an error about MPA audio codec, so re-installed that and it worked

I will have to wait for the new tv engine then.

Just curious - which specific version of Elecard did you install? The problem most of us seem to have is that the newer Elecard codec installs aren't recognized by MP. See this thread: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/showthread.php?t=8427&highlight=elecard

Not been using MP for long so not sure how long the new TV Engine has been going, any idea of any sort of release date?
