I have made several attempts to get DVRMSToolbox to work with Windows Vista Ultimate. I have read several posts in trying to configure my system. I was trying to use the Manual Install version. I am attempting o convert dvr-ms files to mpeg in order to put multiple programs on a disc. The following is the error that I have received:

Any assistance in resolving the issue that I am having would be greatly appreciated. 

try using the ffmpeg based conversion action.

do a search for the GUID  (3E8868CB-5FE8-402C-AA90-CB1AC6AE3240) on the forum, that error usually indicates that the directshow filter isn't registered (if it is registered then there's a larger problem like file corruption).
