Actually I was referring to the problem I have with x264 in post 5380 on page 22.  Any ideas, does the log tell you anything? 

Yep, I'm pretty happy with it, thanks for all your work.   Now, if I could just get x264 working.... and if I did what container would i use? mkv?  ;)    

  jelwood:OK that is good news. If the AVI is playing correctly on your MCE PC then the conversions are working correctly. There is probally some type of a codec issue on your other machine. I don't know for sure, just guessing.   yep , that's what I was thinking, what about your machine?   As far as v12, it ...

sorry, the sync issue is isolated to my main pc... on my media center pc both the  dvr-ms (full and cut )and avi's play w/ no sync issues.   on my pc (over lan) those particular dvr-ms files have sync issues, the avi plays fine.  This is the first I've noticed problems on this machine; admittedly, I rarely watch shows on ...

I installed the latest firewire drivers from timmmoore and have made a d/l available if you want to look at the headers to see if they have been corrected. file is Californication    Same ftp, account, etc   Mitch

It is a manual process.  Normally, you could use either Mencoder or ffmpeg and they would show the proper fps.  However, in the case of your shows, everything in the DVR-MS file (the DVR-MS header, the ...

does/will ffmepeg support reading edl files during the encoding process? mithican 

I'll do as you suggest and post the results.... as far as timmmoore's s/w I'll see if I can track down anything recent on the Green Button.  I haven't seen any updates in a while.   Thanks again   EDIT:  Update:   I ran mencoder v12 using the -fps 25 parameter, on the two episodes of Californication ...

Sweet! I'm glad it is at least an obvious issue...   MCE 2005 ru2 is recording these shows with the help of timmmoore's firewire stb s/w, I'm not sure how to tell what codec is being used to record, I thought firewire was a raw dump??  I don't remember, hmm.  If playback is any sign, then the codec being used is ...
