That's very useful to know. I had assumed it, but since IIRC you're the
guy who writes alot of those drivers, that pretty much eliminates any
assumptions on my part. Cool! On a related question, .... can I
assume that the little four digit start to the video file name -- which
specifies the channel it came from -- is accurate? That and the MPEG-TS
versus MPEG-PS should confirm what channel was being recorded, yes? Thanks!
I'm digging in the logs for more clues. More soon.
Seriously, I really appreciate your help!
