    Hi
    I'm using the Stream Buffer Engine to timeshift & record live tv.
    This all works pretty good except that my recordings have an invalid
    duration.
    This invalid duration shows up in my own program (when using
    IStreamBufferMediaSeeking or
    IMediaSeeking) but also in other media player capable of playing .dvr-ms
    files
    Also the metadataedit.exe file from the WMFSDK9 shows the invalid duration
    value

    My DirectShow graph looks like
    [tv tuner]->[crossbar]->[tvcapture device]->[mpeg2
    demux]->[videoanalyzer]->[streambuffersink]

    I use Windows XP SP1 (+all fixes) , DirectX90c and for recording i use a
    Hauppauge PVR 350
    and a Hauppauge PVR USB 2.

    I tried several options like switching between content/reference recordings
    and
    several values for the file backing count/duration. Also tried this on
    different pc's
    However none of this seems 2 help.

    Can somebody please help???
