BBC HD recording not playing back?

[byngo]

Hi, I set up DVBViewer for the first time last night and all went pretty good.

I even managed a couple of test recordings from BBC HD but problems as follows;

 

2 of the recordings were manual recordings and only a minute or two long, and they played back just fine.

1 of the recordings was of Heroe's and 45mins long and set to record via the epg. This file is about 5Gig but freezes DVBViewer when i try to play it.

 

I also tried to play it with powerDVD 8 ultra but as soon as I got a picture displayed that too froze up.

 

the drive they are saved too is an internal slave drive. All my drives are NTFS formatted and I am running XP pro with a Core 2 Duo 3 ghz, 2gig RAM and an Nvidia 8800GT 512MB G/fix card.

I am using the PDVD Ultra, video and audio decoders.

 

To my delight I even got the AC3 5.1 sound track working over S/PDIF - eventually.

 

Any ideas ???

in options->directx is "use dvbsource for..." enabled? If not, try to enable it and try again to play the file with DVBViewer.

If that, too, doesn't help, you should try another H.264 decoder...

or you could try to load it with TSPlayer (should be in your DVBViewer folder, if not, you'll get it in the members area).

Perfect, that worked thank you.

Perfect, that worked thank you.

That partly solves my problem.

I mean, yes, the file then plays, but I lose the ability to have (Teletext) subtitles then.

 

Is there a way to load a subtitle (SRT, SSA, etc.) in DVBViewer ?

I could then extract the subtitle first and play it back with the alternative (splitter?)
