Re: Unwanted shortening of DVR-MS durations

I've had some progress - apparently a bug in the version of VideoReDo I had.
But now I'm running into a "may" be copyrighted issue near the end of the
file that is probably a false positive error message. First of all, it
either is or isn't copyrighted, so does "may" mean it is copyrighted or it
isn't copyrighted? Also, how can one determine that message is a false
positive error message? Common sense would make one believe a true copyright
error would at least provide a copyright serial number that could be verified
or what type of copyright it is or the date it was copyrighted or who owns
the copyright or a link to a web site where one can pay the necessary royalty
fee, etc. If the file is truely copyrighted, the error should occur
frequently, say at least once a minute, instead of in the last ten minutes of
a two hour recording. This kind of copyright information is not complicated
and is required for use in other media. The error message provides none of
that information, so it should be deemed a "false positive"!

Meanwhile, it still works in Media Center, which supposedly won't work if it
is copyrighted. Are false positive copyright errors something Microsoft had
in mind deliberately doing when they developed that feature? Is this the
kind of treatment users should expect from them in the future?

I get the same problem periodically using AVS tools to convert.

AVS simply blames the uneven quality of TV signals, but something else
is happening. Certain files always fail at the exact same point.

I have no trouble viewing them directly in media center.

Maybe it is copy protection.. I hadn't thought of that. Will Video
redo remove that?

No.
Video Redo will not work if there is copy protection in the dvr-ms file.

I don't think any of the recent Video Editors that work on dvr-ms will work
on copy protected files.

It may be possible in a round about manner to convert the dvr-ms file into
some other video format and remove the copy protection, but it is not easy
to do.

Microsoft did not intend for anybody to remove the copy protection.

Microsoft went so far with the copy protection, that you can lose playing a
dvr-ms file just by upgrading your hardware. Changing hard drives or
motherboard will kill the file for sure.
