I'm using the latest version of ProgDVB Standard 32 bit on a Win XP system and a Pinnacle PCI TV Card with latest XP drivers.

When I use EPG and right click and record - after its finished there is a file in the directory with the correct name but its 0kb in size. if I use the scheduler it records OK. Is this a bug or a feature thats not supported in this version of your program.

Hope you can help!

What record format?

ts format

I have just updated to the newest version. It still will not record a show picked from the EPG. If I set up the scheduler manually it records OK.
Also, how do you change the recording format?

I am not can repeat this problem.

I must be missing something because it also does not work on my Win7 laptop using the 64bit version. Is there something else that I should be installing on top of the program.

ProgDVB stores recording in the format of .mpg. The recording is an MPEG2 file which is similar to a VOB file from a DVD. If the recording is intended to archiving, it may be worth while cutting of the extra content before and after the recorded programme.I would recommend getting a large second hard drive for making recordings. ProgDVB will work using the boot-up hard drive for recordings, but any serious fragmentation or HDD access will cause dropped frames or worse still cause the sound going out of sync with the video. No re-encoding takes place while recording since the stream received is piped into a file. As a result, the recording size per hour will vary depending on the bit-rate of the channel and no quality is lost due to a 2nd lossy encoding process.
