Thanks Dweeb. I hate to have to rain on your parade, as I had hoped this would have worked, but I'm afraid the mod hasn't solved the problem. You've still got 102 errors in 42 minutes, which is lower than some of the worst recordings I have seen, but still much too high, and I've seen better from unmodded boxes. Interestingly enough, the errors don't appear until about 7 minutes in, but then they come thick and fast.Here's a log file of a longer recording I did overnight. There are some errors in it? Maybe someone can say what the errors might be. I briefly looked at the recording and don't see any glitches on screen.
It's an easy trap to fall into, though, so don't feel too bad.Nice one Kidder - I just tried another recording and just as many errors - still ooks good on screen though. I haven't checked the soldering yet but will do so tonight.
I fell into the age old trap of wanting it to be better after doing a mod and rushed to conclusion.
If PT-1's Dream guy's comments about the demuxer not being powerful enough were true
So you're saying there's a 50% chance he's right?He is on IRC on the Dbox2Gui Channel ;-)
and he is only the one half of the Enigma Inventors ;-)
If you're recording from an Enigma image using the Direct Record method, you should just be able to select another audio or program track if the default scan doesn't work.I tried testing a recording last night but everytime i tried to feed mpegrepair a ts file i had recorded it scans it ok and then comes up with an error box at the end. I cannot recall exactly what it said now. something about choosing another channel possibly. Anyway mpegrepairs options were all greyed out so i could not do anything else other than try and load another ts file. I dont think it was finding the PID's.
I am in work just now so will need to have another look at it when i get home.
Any suggestions as to why its not working. I am not getting any kind of log or anything. Dont know if its relevant but the file only seems to load to 99%.
The Neutrino Dream 0.9b is very good, and seems to be the most popular one.I'm going to try a Nuetrino image on my box as well, I assume they have same functions as the DW image I'm currently using i.e. timed recordings from epg ?
What do you think is currently the best Neutrino image ?
MPEG2repair was created specifically to repair files so they could play back correctly. VideoRedo just fixes minor timestamp gaps and that sort of thing, I don't think it repairs actual errors, unless they've upgraded it recently.I've been reading this thread with great interest and as a relative newbie, can I ask a simple/obvious question?
Does a tool such as MPEG2Repair or VideoReDo fix the files so that they can play with little or no obvious playback problems? Or is the file so screwed up that it's still pretty bad after "fixing" them?
