I clearly do. You ****wits cant even manage to work out that
the files I save are fine AND THAT I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT
A PLAYER THAT MAKES IT EASY TO SKIP BURSTS OF ADS.

> The fact of the matter is Rod cant get his software to work correctly.

Lying again. I clearly said that I save in dvr-ms format and that works fine.

I JUST ASKED ABOUT A PLAYER THAT MAKES IT EASY TO
SKIP BURSTS OF ADS WITH A SINGLE KEYSTROKE ETC.

I clearly did work it out for myself and commented on the things
about the particular players that I didnt like some detail of.

Wrong again, I clearly did find some players that way.

Stupid little **** hasnt even noticed that I have already said
that DVRview works fine and has a very convenient approach
to skipping bursts of ads, which is what I asked about doing.

> As everyone can see you can do it and Rod cant.

Thanks for that completely superfluous proof that you cant
even manage to read and comprehend a newsgroup post.

First thing, stop adding back snipped things. It's rude.

So, you're broken, then, I guess.

No, *I* never claimed that. Somebody else did. And, yes, you are bitching
about not being able to find player software that plays with the format
you *want* it to record in.

But, you say it won't work because "its [sic] 4:3 format".

OK, so your recording software saves in 4:3 format when using MPEG files.
This is all we know from this statement. Because of your cryptic (and
rude) responses, I had to spell out the following observations:

If the original source broadcast was 4:3, this shouldn't be a problem.
If the original source broadcast was 16:9, then your recording software
is *broken* when saving MPEG files, since it saves 16:9 as 4:3.

It's not the job of a player to fix broken recordings.

> I didnt even complain you fool. YOU clearly claimed that a step could be

As you can see, I never claimed that. Somebody else did.

So, what, exactly is the problem you are having with your player software,
then, that wouldn't be solved if your recording software didn't save MPEGs
as 4:3?

Has no relevance what so ever to what was clearly
being discussed in the quoting you keep snipping.

And that doesnt even 'save a step' when
the player can play dvr-ms files, stupid.

Whoopy do.

Wrong again, I was looking for a player that will do what
I want, SKIP BLOCKS OF ADS CONVENIENTLY, and I
clearly said that both dvr-ms and mpeg files are acceptible.

> But, you say it won't work because "its [sic] 4:3 format".

Wrong again. I actually said that SAVING in mpeg format
produces that result but that converting from dvr-ms to
mpeg format WHICH DOESNT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH
4:3 FORMAT IS QUITE ACCEPTIBLE BECAUSE THAT IS FAST.

SO I DONT NEED NEW SOFTWARE TO PRODUCE MPEG FORMAT.

> OK, so your recording software saves in 4:3 format when using MPEG files.

And I dont care when its so quick and easy to convert dvr-ms files to mpeg.

AND THE PLAYER I HAVE CHOSEN TO USE PLAYS dvr-ms FILES
DIRECTLY ANYWAY, AND HAS AN EXCELLENT USER INTERFACE
THAT ALLOWS JUMPS OVER ALL THE ADS AND BIG JUMPS IN
THE FILE WHICH ARE HANDY WHEN YOU RECORD SAY MOST
OF THE EVENING'S TV BROADCAST INTO ONE FILE.

Reams of your desperate attempts to bullshit your
way out of your predicament flushed where it belongs.

The original post clearly said that the thing the players I had tried couldnt
do was skip blocks of ads conveniently, you stupid posturing clown.

Top posted and completely snipped to be as intentionally rude as possible.

Mr. Rod Speed, you are an ass. I haven't seen anyone as arrogant and
simplistically bullheaded as you in a very long time.

HAND, IHTH, FOADSD.
