DOH! i forgot to tell you, yes i installed it on a windows xp pro sp2 machine. I remember seeing something about windowsxp/2000 and DVRMS and a registry setting in the old thread, but tried digging thru about 20 of the 88(!) pages before i gave up.
1.0.96 is running and configuring (the temp folder) ok.
If i "force" the 1.0.97 install and ignore the "input wah wah"-error and then manually edit the settings.grd file to point to my temp folder (H:/DVRMSTMP) it still dies with an error.
Please to fix as i am dying to try the new version.. it has much nicer gui.
Hello,
New user here. Just installed Version 1.0.9.7 last night. I am getting a missing DLL error when i am attempting to convert dvr-ms to WMV. I am doing this with the DVRMStoMPEGGUI app. What follows is what the error says.
Title: DVRMStoMPEG.exe - Unable to Locate ComponentContents: This application has failed to start because MSVCR71D.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
This is in the status window:InputFile=D:\Recorded TV\Power Lunch_CNBC_16_03_2006_13_23_26.dvr-msProcessing actions, this may take some time!!Profile = dvr2wmvConvert DVR-MS to WMV using DVR2WMVBegin conversion of D:\Recorded TV\Power Lunch_CNBC_16_03_2006_13_23_26.dvr-ms to D:\Recorded TV\power lunch.wmvThe specified module could not be found.Duration = 02:35:21.3906250
I did not reinstall as I figured it would be more helpful to post the error message first, and do any checking you may require. Plus I did not want to screw things up further. heh..
I had 1.0.9.5 converting the WMV perfectly prior to installing this new version. I uninstalled the .5 version so i could have a clean install of the .7 version.
Just out of curiosity, I did a search for the missing MSVCR71D.dll on my pc. I found it in two places, my dcut directory, which i installed a couple of weeks back, and it is in Microsoft Plus! Digital Media Edition\PlusDME11.cab
Edit: I have confirmed that DVR-MS convert to MPEG does work.
Any recomendations?
send me a pm, i have it handy...
semi-SOLUTION FOR WINXP SP2 (toolbox1.0.96+showanalyser.0.6.2-beta):
this is what i did:
add/remove programs... remove dvrmstoolbox and showanalyser. REBOOT!
install dvrmstoolbox1.0.96 in default location. make sure you only tick showanalyser when the installer asks you which additional components you want to install...
run dvrmstoolboxsettings.exe (this will install showanalyser 5.x in c:\program files\dragonglobal\showanalyser)
(maybe reboot, didn't write the steps down)
install showanalyser 0.6.2-beta in the c:\program files\dragonglobal\showanalyser folder
setup dvrmstoolbox according to the entries on bluewiki (ie: cut commercials from all files etc.)
note: i have not had any luck getting custom profiles (showanalyser) to work with dvrmstoolbox1.0.96 and showanalyser 0.6.2-beta... for some reason only the default is being used... i have only been hacking at it for a few hours so i might have overlooked the obvious...
Bouncing in my chair as I see babgVant starting to reply to people. Anxiously awaiting.. hehe..
No doubt the mindnumbingly slow progress of the his board is contributing.
I already have that application installed! Interestingly enough it also gives the same error. Okay downloading now will install it again in a sec here. Figure that cant hurt.
