Re: [H] Windows 7 Media Center licenses
OK I ran MCEBuddy which did a good job with PBS recordings...but then I had no problem re-encoding them to mkz. But when it came to normal MC encrypted channel encoding MCEBuddy was not able to do anything with them. It can't be COX encrypting the recordings because I have no problem recording SD with my Laptop Hauppauge TV tuner recorder, and I can even record HD broadcasts right off the cable box using their HD PVR through a component connection at 1080i. But all of that, except PBS, is encrypted when I record with MC using my SiliconDust tuners. So it has to be MC doing the encryption. So how come it works for you Chris.. or what am I doing wrong?

Wow, these will remove commercials AND decrypt MC recordings? I am downloading it now. Thanks Chris There is a very simple answer to that. Use MCEBuddy or MCTV-Converter http://mcebuddy2x.codeplex.com/ And convert anything you want to save to MKV/MP4 BEFORE you change over your media center, and all your files will come along with you. If you do it on the machine they were recorded on, generally it converts everything.
