    I bought the above hitachi at another store: Micro Center - Hitachi 500GB X-Series 2.5" USB 2.0 Portable Hard Drive - HXSMNA5001 0S02520 I put it on ADtv, press the 'record' button, and let it run over night, the following day I edit what I want to keep and watch. I still have a problem with...

    DVR-1100c pc playback issues

    Same issue with MPCSTAR. I will try to get some other non-WD media to record and see if it replicates. What about 3ABN no audio in freemake, this is consistent. What is the difference in audio between ADTV and 3ABN that freemake wouldn't recognize it? thanks

    DVR-1100c pc playback issues

    The hdd is a 500gb WD passport, formatted by the dvr. I tried playing the raw files on another pc, freshly installed MPC-HomeCinema.1.4.2499.0.x86.exe, same issue, the play time is reported from 10-100 hours for a 4 hour file with the problem files, the other ones that played fine were still...

    DVR-1100c pc playback issues

    The oroginal files have normal play time on the DVR of 04:41:16 (+- 1-2 sec), and even shorter files that are not the full length experience the same variation on the pc posted previously, but play fine on the dvr. This is disappointing.

    DVR-1100c pc playback issues

    When recording and just hitting the record button on the remote and letting it record for a couple of days, I then try to play the file on a pc. The results are mixed. The maximum recorded file size default by the dvr is 04:41:16. I use media player classic (i test with other players also)...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    The "edit and return to the receiver for playback" matter has only been resolved with VRD, but not using other software. I guess the first step in the process would be to identify the header, copy it and then insert it into the right place. Even if it wouldn't be automated via a program to...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    Thanks Gary, the header explanation makes sense. I did find a nice program that cuts TS - mpg2cut2, but evidently it doesn't insert the special header because it doesn't work on the dvr, it keeps saying 'wrong file' when trying to play it.

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    I guess I misunderstood/assumed wrong from the end of Gary's post in regard to format, evidently he was inferring ts format. So what program can I use to "edited out the commercials and renamed it and copied the edited video file back the the DVR drive and it worked with no problems".

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    I reinstalled freemake and that works to edit files, and there is no chopiness that I have in playback on the pc like I do with iwisoft. However, the 1100dvr was not able to play back mp4, avi from iwisoft, or mpg from freemake, I will try avi through freemake. I did format (on dvr) the 8gb...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    I uninstalled iwisoft, and reinstalled, same thing, choppy playback in the add window. I used Freemake and just converted to avi, it kept all the original settings and playback isn't choppy in MPC, or 'Any video converter' (another utility I used before, but it didn't have ts format options, but...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    I noticed in iwisoft if I even play the original ts file straight in the 'add' window, it's choppy. But if I play the original in media player classic, it's fine, but it's unedited. Freemake closes itself when I click on edit, after it opens the edit window. I will try reinstalling both.

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    I played the converted an adtv file from ts to AVI common in 640x480 iwisoft, on both laptop and dvd player with usb in and it's slightly choppy slow motion, noticeable especially when the camera moves, audio is fine. I don't understand why this is happening.

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    That makes sense with xvid avi. I thought you were saying you got it down from 2.5gb to 1gb and kept it in TS format. I tried mp4 common video and it seems slightly slow motion/jagged. I will try it in xvid. Thanks.

    Can you please share what the parameters were that you used to go from 2.5gb to 1gb. Thanks

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    OK, that works. So to get rid of the black border, I have to drag the dotted box, or change the parameters as follows in edit mode: full screen zoom, left 16, top 4, 320x476. I converted to HD mpeg2 640x480 (which is lowest), and hopefully most compatible. So MPC player full screen stretched...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    That - stretching in MPC worked! So playback in MPC is fine, but I don't think that will work for playback on a 4:3 TV, I will have to test that. I figured out that I was converting in the HD profile and that was causing the black border due to the greater resolution in conversion. I switched to...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    When I try to edit in Freemake, the second window opens and closes down the whole thing. The iWisoft one was capable of editing, but the output was choppy and the aspect ratio changed - playback on PC. I just used the HD-mpeg2profile, not sure which one to use. I will play with it some more...

    Program to edit TS format video from DVR on a PC?

    From my research I have seen that there are 2 options to edit TS video files: iSkySoft and VideoReDo. Both of these have to be purchased. Are there any free tools that will do this?
