The setting I am talking about is located hear:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Frey Technologies\Common\DSFilters\MpegDeMux\NumBuffers

I tried 1 GB because I was maxing out 512, but I max out 1024, too. Still haven't figured out why. I had a posting about this issue related to accessing migrated dvr-ms files, but didn't get any real helpful responses. I haven't tried any higher.

I'm also running very stable at 1GB. I usually max out somewhere just over 550MB so I could probably lower it but "if it ain't broke" ....

So, to be clear, does this work on 32 bit Vista or no? I'd love to have it, just don't want to switch OS to get it. Nice job by the way!

I just downloaded and am trying to run it, but I get an error "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application."

I'm running this on XP-Pro SP3

thanks,

do you have .net installed?

That was an issue for sure.

I also found that I could not run it from my UNC path location, I copied it to my desktop though and it worked fine.

thanks,

that's a trust problem. all .net applications run w/ low trust from untrusted unc locations.

Ah ok, I just got the standard Microsoft message that your program crashed, do you want to send in a bug report.

thanks for the cool app.

This app is awesome. The only problem is that my many demultiplexers aren't good for everything. Sage's is great for tv, and everything else, but I'm having problems right now. Any suggested all purpose demultiplexers?

Hi All,
I downloaded the file but am not sure what to do with it. Do I put it in my Sage folder? I clicked on the exe file and my jave heap is zero. Shouldn't it be some other value?

Thanks for any help.

It doesn't matter where you put it. It is easier to use this for Sage registry settings than regedit. Put in the value and click the save button. It will write it to the registry.

[wheelrandolph]

Thanks Gerry; what about the xml file? How is that used? Thanks for your help.

Randy

[gplasky]

The xml is the meat of the settings. It holds the actual registry hive, default values and the balloon hints that pop up when you hover your cursor over the text boxes.

Gerry

[babgvant]

the xml is used to create the gui. it can have settings that aren't sage specific, you just have to define them properly and new tabs and specific items will show up in the tool.

much easier than remembering each specific setting and what the possible values are.

Thanks, this is a very helpful app.

Is there any possible way to get all of the sage settings into this tool. I know there are lots of options in the .properties file and registy that I have no idea what they do. That would be awesome.

[babgvant]

that would be pretty cool. the problem is that the properties need to be modifed in process by a STVi if the functionality is even exposed via the API.
