[QUOTE="icarusi, post: 567409, member: 308359"] I just got a Passion+ yesterday and find that my Emtec 8Gb USB stick seems to work OK for HD. I've tried it at the end of a 5m USB extension cable with no apparent difference to direct into the front panel. S/W is v 1.03 06/08/08 but I have the new s/w downloaded. I'll try my USB HD enclosure with an old Win98 FAT32 drive tomorrow before upgrading so I can compare any differences. The .ts format seems much more efficient than the mp4 option of Cyberlink Powercinema via my Nova HD S2 pc, which generates mp4 files twice the size and no options, but only Media Player Classic is playing back the .ts files, VLC and KMPlayer are not doing it. Some BBC HD sound was missing on MPC but the file properties were reporting 6 channel audio. Luxe TV was ok with it's mpeg audio. Playing back via the Passion+ has been generally ok although sometimes the sound has gone glitchy, which a pause/play press has corrected. High and slow speed playback, fwd and reverse also the bookmark function are all working ok. The PVR pause and timer recordings work ok, although the 'time' settings via the menu need to be correct for UK time etc. I'll double check the 'from standby' timer again as I got 1 from 2 goes OK but think the menu setting was the problem. All timer recordings from 'on' state were ok. I still haven't found anything to edit these particular .ts files. Avidemux doesn't fully IDX them so won't load. I have previously passed files 'through' Super then edited with Avidemux but Super put a strange lo res pulse through background detail which wasn't on the original, I assume a artifact in Super's mp4 process. I'll try with a Passion+ .ts later. [/QUOTE]
