    WTV to DVR-MS conversion fails

    When trying to convert files using DVRMS it fails to write the temporary MPEG file so conversion fails with an error about the input string being incorrect.

     Setting Priority = BelowNormal
    FileName = C:\Users\Public\Test\Takeshi.wtv
    InputFile=C:\Users\Public\Test\Takeshi.wtv
    Processing actions, this may take some time!!

     If I manually run the MencoderProper.exe it fails just after the Audio section.

    Anyone seen this error before or see what I'm doing wrong? This happens for all my recorded TV on Win 7 MCE.

    Have you considered using the built in WTV converter in the ehome directory?

     Are you trying to convert Protected WTV files?

    The files are not protected. I can manually convert the files using todvrms.exe without a problem. I'm trying to get my recorded shows into a slightly smaller format than the wtv one and be able to scan for commercials so I scan skip them.
