hi, can you tell me what codec your using for hd?`
i didn't know that- there are no hdtv channels on irish cabel at all)none for vm cable - those are h264 codecs - vm uses mpeg2
Purevideo gets my vote. If your signal strength is within an acceptable range, you shouldn't get any errors. What kind of errors are you getting exactly, Wonko?purevideo works ok but again it tends to fall apart after a few hours - it's not designed for tv - it's designed for film playback which tends to have less faults in the signal
Agreed, it's very subjective, but it's also important to know a little bit about the process. One of my friends was bitching and moaning about his blurry picture, and blaming everything from his CPU to his microwave oven, and it turned out he was just running a crappy MPEG2 codec with simple blend deinterlacing, which by its very definition introduces blurring, and had his HTPC set to a refresh rate that didn't match his TV. He was easily converted to the PureVideo codec.tbh your best bet is to just try any codecs you can and see which gives you the best pcture
Just BBC HD, but they're testing 6 new linear HD channels in NTL Pure areas at the moment, which should launch everywhere very soon.ps. how many hdtv channels on VM cable ?
The symptoms you descrtbe are quite peculiar, certainly not what I'd associate with poor signal, since digital has no quality drop-off the way analog does. I just don't think the diagnosis is entirely accurate, particularly since you say your signal is 100:100. Anyway, as long as you can get results you're happy with using the MS codec, that's the most important thing. I was just curious about the specifics.starts off fairly sharp, clear,smooth with good colour clairty and after a few hours its muddy, jerky and not cleear - pannign looks like lot of weight on camera - ie takes along time to get moving then it moves so fast you get motion sick - almost literally
somethign is falling apart over time - the most likely candidate is the codec isnt good with low quality signals - and beefore you say it again my signal levels are 100%:100% - but through previous experimentation I know that whilst ntl's picture quality is poor it is fairly consistent - however the quality and consistency of the audio is very very bad - eg you cant sync off video (to improve video smoothness) as the audio goes all over the damn place lol - and would suspect this is the cause of the problem
btw I see none of these effects using the MS codec - my desktop is set to 50hz etc.
"LinVDR is a very small Linux distribution turning your normal PC with a DVB video card into a rather cool personal video recorder (PVR). 'The Busybox based system requires less than 128 MB disk space and is shipped as compressed bootable CD image (31 MB) with an easy install program. Provided that you have a supported DVB card (Technotrend DVB Premium or Hauppauge Nexus) in your system, you'll get the software up and running running within 15 minutes or less. LinVDR uses the most recent development version of the Video Disk Recorder software VDR from Klaus Schmidinger. VDR is capable of recording more than one channel per time (as MPEG-2), timeshifting, cutting (with your remote control) and converting the MPEG-2 files into other formats. The 39 plugins delivered in LinVDR extend your PVR to be also a DVD player, DVD recorder, E-Mail reader, Voice mailbox and much more. Details on the software versions and plugins you can find at the project page. For download, visit the mirror list.'"

If you have two DVB cards, you should be able to switch to a different channel without interrupting the recording.if i hit record then try to change channel then it says it has to end the recording?

I haven't followed the entire thread, but if you're using a softcam, I think MDAPI needs to be specifically configured for two cards/emus. Perhaps this could be the problem?thats what i have
