There was an app that used to accomplish something similar for WMV files and the Zune, called ZuneTVwatcher.  The author went awol on the project awhile ago.  A fairly simple compare between input and output directories for filenames would accomplish the task.  If there's a file in the input directory (WTVC or DVRMS ...

Thanks in advance for any help you're able to provide.  I'm fairly well-versed in Media Center, but a relative newbie with DVT.  I've got Windows 7 converting everything to DVRMS, and through that learned most of the basics of how the tool operates. Here's the goal:  Keep a directory (ideally on a network share on ...

I'm trying to use the tool to convert files to wmv and use on my portable media center (having issues with WMP11's native functionality).  I can't however figure out how to change the resolution, the native resolution for my PMC and the upcoming Zune is 320x240.  In the end I'd like a 320x240 WMV file to copy over to the ...

Looks to me like there might be an issue with translation of the install path when running on Vista x64.  The program correctly installs itself in c:\Program Files(x86)\DVRMSToolbox, but it looks like the profile editor is looking in c:\program files\DVRMSToolbox Full error message below:  See the end of this message for details on ...
