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). Some DVR files play back well. Other files have error 'can't render file'. Others report ridiculous play times from 10 minutes to 100+ hours even though the file sizes are the same. This behavior is replicated with freemake, iwisoft...
Also, when I use freemake to edit the files it works well with the ones that report normal run time of 04:41:16. But obviously it freezes when trying to edit a file that thinks it's 50 hours long when it isn't.
Also, in freemake (I tried 5 files) all unedited 3ABN recordings say 'no audio' even though I can play them fine in MPC. iWisoft has audio, but it doesn't keep the filesize small like freemake ;[
I didn't notice anyone else having these issues.
I haven't tried playing back the original problem files on the DVR.
thanks
