In regards to DVR-MS, could you explain why the resolution & bit-rate listed in the metadata of a recording is always wrong? It's always a US SD resolution & the listed bit-rate is way off.
BTW, WTV doesn't seem to include it at all - is that correct?
Thanks,
Justin

Thanks for that post, I figured that the new format (wtv) would have been developed due to limitations of the old format and moving forward would require somthing more flexible.
Having been in software development for about 12 years now I can certainly understand why things seem like madness from the outside looking in, but from the inside, decisions are made that make sense. It sounds like MS have made a forward looking decision with the wtv format.
With our own format we could:
1. Rich in-band data
2. Virtually limitless number of streams
3. Dynamic streams
4. Meta-data size not bound
5. Something we could grow on
Sounds good. I have no problem with a new file format - but - will there be a tool available to extract video/audio streams? (eg. to a .mpg file), or will we have to wait for third party tools to be developed?
I'm a little confused from the last few posts on this thread.
MS have kept the details (and in fact the existance) of Fiji/Media Centre Upgrade secret all along. So how come user mikehayton who says he is from the Media Centre Team is revealing details of the upgrade? Or has an official announcement been made now?
Why is he spilling the beans if they are keeping so quiet about it? That was my question.
The main reason was because I dont think it spills any beans of significance.
This thread is already talking about: WTV, how WTV breaks all the tools, how Microsoft's just doing it so they can add extra DRM. My post was to clarify that we didnt change the format to break your tools or add extra DRM. There's no desire in the Media Center team to do this.
Cheers
Mike
