Randomly split MPEG files using Plextor TV-402U

[jgs14]

Hello,

This is a question to the Plextor ConvertX TV-402U users out there:

Do you get randomly split MPEG files? It, Sometimes its recording a show to file MyShowName-12345idnum-0.mpg and then it suddenly stops recording that file and starts on MyShowName-12345idnum-1.mpg? (ie: it bumps the final digit in the file name up one number)

I cut on the debug log, and have discovered that when this happens I the error that 'SEEKER HAS DETECTED A HALT'. (logs at end of post) I have tried the following steps to remedy the problem, but have had no luck:

1. Using only one TV-402U at a time (I normally have two connected)
2. Uninstalled my virus scan software (thinking it might be conflicting)
3. Installed a PCI USB 2.0 card (problem unchanged)
4. Tried various capture bitrates

Any help is appreciated. It makes it hard to burn DVDs when you have more than one file!!

Regards,

Joe
