I've been futzing with some top-n-tail using Video Redo. I've copied the BW "record" onto the USB Disk, move the Disk to the PC, trim with VideoRedo and save back to the USB disk. From a couple of tests (and far from exhaustive) I've *noticed* that the MPGs produced can be played without p...

Having just got Video Redo re-installed after the death of a machine, I updated to the latest release and had to go through and re-tweak the configuration to my liking. In so doing, I noticed a setting that I was not aware of before that suits the BW files. Under the "Enhanced Plus Features&quo...

The firmware is on the Aust website, but it looks like the readme text file that goes with it is not.

FYI, the readme.txt is duplicated within the zip file.

I'm not sure if the failure of the PAN&SCAN setup is an acknowledged bug, but my workaround for it is to have a 4x3 PAN&SCAN forrmat DVD sitting permanently in the DVD drive. When I bring the BW up out of standy, I first select the DVD and play a second of it. This appears to kick the BW int...

Alter the response of the "off" button to be functionally the same as old VCRs. That is, if in recording mode, simply hand over "standby" control to the recorder which sets the system into standby when the last timer expires. Dropping the "Do you really want to do this?"...

My first foray in the Digital TV was a Nebula DTV card. Still going strong, but I thought it would be interesting to find what files from what cards the BW can handle. My experience is as follows. Nebula Recorded MPG's in "DVD compatible" mode - big tick, so I can view all my normal Nebula...

When you think about it, we are recording all the time (unless you have disabled time-shifting), so it seems less likely that recording is at the root of these dropouts. More likely something is cause the unit to CPU saturate and the realtime data coming out of the tuner is being dropped resulting i...

Zoom button works when in Image viewing which is good given my crap photography, however, as far as I can tell it is central zoom only. Old DVD player allows arrow keys to move around within zoomed image / playback. This would be a plus for the BW (reprogram the duration change onto fast forward/fas...

Hmmm me too, just saw it on the ABC (Sydney from the North Head repeater). Watching the same channel on a Nebula Card in the PC using the same aerial, I see no problem, so I suspect something in the BW - recording at the time (perhaps related ??).

As a new user with an old 4x3 TV I've found that the LetterBox or Pan&Scan display mode seems to be non functional. So I'm stuck in letter box, not huge issue, but annoying. Investigating the unit and reading the forums I discover the Zoom button. It works with recordings, but not live TV...agai...

I'm driving a 4x3 CRT via component and see this too......other STB's haven't shown the problem, I presumed it was just a 4x3 glitch in the BW
