There is no problem watching the TV shows on the computer but when you go to RECORD (save to the Hard Drive) a movie there is sometimes breaks in the Tansmission from the TV Station which gives bad data in the recorded file. Breakups can often cause sound to go out of sync if not fixed.

That is ok as most Video Player progs can handle these break ups. To save a one hour show it can take about 8 to 9 gigabytes of hard disk space.

The best idea is to FIX any bad sections in the Recorded File due to transmission breaks, cut out the advertisements and then compress the File to a MPG Format. The finished file can be about 800MB using MPEG-2 (DVD). The completed work plays much smoother and the sequences are in sync with video and sound.

We have found some good software to process our Recorded files.

1. PROJECTX.EXE  (Java program)  -  First we use ProjectX.exe which demuxes the Recorded file into two files - one for Video and the other for Audio. It scans through the file and if it find any bad frames and it corrects them and keeps the Audio and Video in Sync.
We do not want Java Runtime on our computer so we found a VM edition on the DOOM9 Forum here

2. MPLEX1.EXE (DOS program)  -  We then use mplex1.exe to remux the two files.
That is where our Multiplexer program comes into play. It allows us to use windows software without making batch files or going into DOS and typing out all the input.  TV Record File Names are often long and multi worded so it makes the whole process easier to make a small utility with Emergence BASIC like Multiplxer to do the work.

3. AVIDEMUX.EXE (GTK program)  -  We then use Avidemux to EDIT (Cut out the adverts and extras).  Avidemux also will do the compression as well.
