I waited for the file to get bigger and it did work. Another drawback of using Div3 (DIVXrec) vs. MPEG (mp1e) is that Div3 files don't seem to be "seekable" (using up/down/left/right/pgup/pgdn in Mplayer) while they are being written either. No being able to wait 20 minutes into a 1 hour show so that you can skip through the commercials (with Mplayer anyway). :-( > I > am not sure why it won't play with shorter files though. Probably has something to do with what is written where in the AVI file. Maybe a table is written every so often or something. > I often use > mplayer to preview the file while it is still recording. Yeah, or for watching live TV. :-) Being able to pause and seek through commercials is nice. :-) b. -- Brian J. Murrell
