dvr-ms conversion not working.

External Since: Aug 20, 2008 Posts: 1

for the last few weeks I have been fighting a problem with recorded movies,
TV shows etc. The dvr-ms to mpeg converters that use to work no longer work.
I have Ulead DVD movie factory 6+ and DVRMSTOOLBOX and both use to convert
the dvr-ms file to a mpeg and from there I could edit out commercials etc. It
all seem to start around the time i installed SP3 on a Xp machine with MCE
2005 and rollup 2. The conversions sometimes work but mostly fail after
converting the first 10 seconds to a minute of the file. I have removed and
re-installed the 2 converters severel times. Ulead (corel) support was NO
help. HAS anyone else experienced this? is SP3 to blame? All I have left is
to remove and re-install MCE. I'm trying to avoid that. Suggestion welcome.
P.S. the files play fine in the mce player.

Have you tried to convert using a different tool just to verify that it's not
a problem with the current one? How about VideoRedo:
