Overview
The Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 Create DVD Update enables increased reliability when creating a video DVD using recorded TV files (.dvr-ms).
This update has the greatest impact for users who create DVDs using TV recorded from a PAL broadcast but is also recommended for users with an NTSC broadcast.
System Requirements
Supported Operating Systems: Windows XP Media Center Edition
Note: This update is only needed for Media Center PCs that support Create CD/DVD. If the Create CD/DVD option is not available in Media Center, please contact your computer hardware manufacturer for more information.
After using this update longer recordings now come up with a CD/DVD full message when I try to add a recorded TV show to a DVD+RW
I am in Australia using PAL DVB-t with Nvidia Decoder, Nvidia Display Driver and Hauppauge MCE Nova-T
Any ideas??
As a UK MCE user with PAL TV, I find that the Update has improved stability. Previously any dvrms file edited with the ‘Fun with dvrms’ editor failed to burn to a video dvd.
However, the conversion is now very inefficient. I find that selecting any dvrms file of size > 2GB gives the DVD full message. A 1.5 GB file can be burned as a video dvd and occupies 3GB of space.
It seems are choices are to buy a 3rd party burner not integrated with the Media Center application or to wait for the next update.
Hi, i am in the UK and can confirm i see the same behaviour as Anthony Milwain. If i try and burn to DVD +RW anything over 1 hour (i’ve tried 1 h 15mins) i get the CD/DVD Full message.
anyone else any ideas on this?
