| 595114 | 2007-09-26 06:23:00 | AverTv is the best out of all the software if it didn't crash. After recording 2 programmes with KTV I have no space left. AVI must be such a high usage format. Other than DVD playing - I use Asus/Power DVD. | JaceKiwi (2561) | ||
| 595115 | 2007-09-26 06:34:00 | Your asking a question...? Perhaps try to describe your issue a little better. Lol. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 595116 | 2007-09-26 06:37:00 | Well u need a BIG hdd, and hopefully, you're using 2K/XP, or an OS that uses NTFS. Or you'll have probs with files over 4 GB. Altho, I dont record in AVI, I usually use MPEG2. |

| 595117 | 2007-09-27 07:18:00 | I can record plenty of files with MPG but bugger all AVI! | JaceKiwi (2561) | ||
| 595118 | 2007-09-27 12:21:00 | I can record plenty of files with MPG but bugger all AVI! So are you in need of help, or are you just commenting? Do you have a problem recording to .avi? |

| 595119 | 2007-09-28 22:13:00 | Yes - the problem is that the files are over 10 times the size of MPG's. | JaceKiwi (2561) | ||
| 595120 | 2007-09-28 22:50:00 | thats because the format you are recording to is probably RAW AVI, which if im not mistaken is uncompressed audio and video. so if possible record to a compressed version. uses a little more CPU time but your files will be a lot smaller. I don't record stuff myself. so dont know how you would achieve this, but it is a solution. or you could just convert them later with something like Xvid or DrdivX |

| 595121 | 2007-09-28 23:42:00 | The files take up too much space to start with so no room to convert. However, where can I get Divx and drdivx convertors. Also KTV does have a couple of advantages - it is more stable and Teletext does work. But still no UHF channels. | JaceKiwi (2561) | ||
| 595122 | 2007-09-29 00:57:00 | ya can get DrdivX from www.divx.com its not free or anything, thats what XviD is for. don't do a whole lot of encoding anymore, as can't be bothered. www.xvid.org has the xvid codec and possibly info on what progs ya can use it with. just installing it myself actually on linux though. so no real help to you there. |

| 595123 | 2007-09-29 01:08:00 | Well, if u cant get UHF (apart from Sky (if you're talking about Sky), which you probably WONT get. Chuck it in the bin. Whats the point in keeping it. And get another. I would definitely get a better program. If u had a decent program, you wouldn't have to install all of these codecs, whatever they are, just to get decent compression. A decent program would let u select something like AVI / MPEG/2 etc from within it. And save you all the trouble. |
