Hi folks,
first, my specifications:

Windows Vista PC
TechnoTrend S2-3200 TV card (using BDA drivers)
ProgDVB 4.85.3 / new Beta 5.09.2

Yesterday I recorded a movie using ProgDVB 4.85.3 (second try with the new beta version). The length of the movie is about 2 hours which finally results in a approx. file size of 2,4 GB. It worked fine and the final mpg-file was runnable in both VLC media player and Cyberlink PowerDVD. But as soon as I start this movie on my DVD/DivX player (on my TV station) it stops playing after 43 minutes.

The strange thing about this is that the duration of the movie is said to be 2 hours, but my DVD/DivX player (Pioneer 696) states that the file is only 43 minutes long (second try it said it's 47 mins long) and therefore stops playing after this length. (Up to that point I can watch the movie in a very good quality and AC3 audio.)

Does anyone of you know how to solve this problem or has had a similar problem? (I have the impression that most of the files recorded with ProgDVB don't seem to be runnable on DVD/DivX players?!)

Regards
Sebastian

PS: Some of my friends told me to demux it with PVAstrumento and then (re)mux it with mplex, but unfortunately PVAstrumenta doesn't work under Vista.

Hi , dvb recordings don´t have a proper timcode...so this cause your problems with your dvd player...

correct after demux and remux the file get a proper timecode...use projectx to do this...

btw. this has nothing to do with progdvb...same will happen in use of other dvb programms

Hi SiLencer,
yes, I just have downloaded ProjectX and tried to demux my movie file. I then have remuxed it with mplex and it seems to be working fine.

Thx!

By the way, do you know when a new version of ProgDVB will be released? My card supports HDTV channels and somehow I don't get a HD channel running... Do you know a good tutorial on how to watch HD channels with ProgDVB?

H.264 HDTV is a heavy building lot in progdvb positive testet only with version 5.xx (and only with some users)...not with version 4 ...prog is working on it...we have to be patient...and btw. mostly codec or direct show problems make it not working...
