Sureshot Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Hi all, I am currently experiencing a niggling problem with WMP. When I play a track or a CD in my disk drive and put WMP onto full screen visualisation it only stays until the end of that particular track. When the track finishes it pops back to skin mode. So even when I play a whole album it will always revert back to skin mode after each track. Does anyone have any thoughts on the problem? Also, I am researching putting a digital TV card in my PC and have discovered the feature of turning your PC into a PVR, but wondered how much space a 30-minute show would take up on a hard drive in MPeg-2 format? cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lb Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 the space that a file takes up depends on several different factors, one is the bitrate that you are encoding at and the other is the size of the image that you are encoding. I have done a search but no website seems to commit to actual file sizes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sureshot Posted September 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 awww cheers guys, but u don't have to argue over me, lol :D thanks for looking those up for me, i will see if disabling the screen saver helps any and also check to see which programs could be wanting notification and interrupting WMP.Its a bizarre one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
