How are you converting the HD-PVR's output? I have tried several things,
and none have worked (only proprietary decoders can handle its 1080i
video it seems). I've tried using AviSynth scripts, but they either end
up out of sync (using a graph) or don't use the right decoder (using
DirectShowSource; it doesn't honor the merit system and uses FFmpeg no
matter what). Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. I'm
going a bit nuts trying to figure out how to convert these videos.
