Re: Yet Another Recording Downloader for the Wiz

Thanks for that. It's a bit tedious, but it should be workable side-by-side with Avidemux to find the correct timestamps. Avidemux will tell you which frames are I-frames, so that may help with placing cuts in locations that avoid issues. Yes Avidemux is a good idea - can move to keyframes with up ...

Re: Units compatible with 7flix

Well 2 years later and they've done the same with 7food i.e. using the HE-AAC audio codec in Sydney so no audio on my trusty DP-P1 with 01.05.350 firmware.
Don't really want the hassle of changing firmware just to watch this. I can always watch it through the TV.
Is this the same in other markets?

Yes after setting the enableHDDemux flag ProjectX can demux the .ts file into .h264 video file, .ac3 audio file and .srt subtitle but there's no preview for MPEG-4/H.264 so I can't really use ProjectX to top+tail and remove ads.

Re: How fast should my download be?

You can transfer slightly faster if the Wiz isn't doing much e.g. just leave it at the file player menu.
Also worth top and tailing recordings to reduce transfer time.
YARDWiz beeps as each transfer completes so you can be doing something else rather than just watching the transfer.
