I have tried your program. I love the way it looks and works but I get a 100% failure on HD prgramming.

I have VidoeReDO also. So you do a quick stream fix on raw recording. Have you used the corrected stream with the Sage transcoder. If so what were the results? Can Nero transcode to something other than DVD?

Thanks for the info on VideoReDo, I am been having the same problem when editing to DVD, if the signal was cuts for a second from reception it causes the editor to lock, I have to pinpoint each one and edit them out. Does anyone know of a program that can fix the stream that doesn't cost $50?

Other than that, editing HD down to a 480p looks darn good, I even compress it enough to a fit a 3 hour football game on one DL and it playsback great.

evilpenguin,

I see that you have made some improvement since I last tried this so I am going to give it another go. I tried to set it up but I cannot ever get it to create the .qdvd file. The log file has the following in it:

----------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to add2dvdq v2.0a

------------------Advanced Preferences--------------------
Optional path to SageTV or SageClient executable relative burning computer for .bat file =

Expected 6, check your preference file!

I am not sure what to check in the preferneces file

Thanks for you help

Thought, I would give an update and see others experiences using RC1 with the stock transcoder. I am able to get completed DVD compliant files from HD recordings but for some reason the video is jumpy. I have seen this on a couple of recordings. The audio may be off (hard to tell with the video being jumpy) but not nearly as much as before. Any others have input?
