<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Hitting the R key works fine, I have one problem though, I tried to extend the recording time over the 60m that seems to be initially set, I entered the edit mode while watching the recording and extended it by 30 mins, but it only appeared to extend it a few minits. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight:400">1) How can I change the initial 60m to a another value (If this is possible)</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">2) What am I missing - do I need to make up more recording profiles to account for differing lengths of source material ?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight:400">Any help appreciated</span></p>

<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> I think your making this a lot harder than it should be. What I do goes</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> something like this.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> Set up an input to the composite input on your card and added a channel</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> connected to that input. Don't select any grabber associated with the</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> channel.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> Then whenever you need to archive something to DVD from another source</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> start live tv and go to the composite input you set up. Press R to start</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> recording and press play on the playback source. When you want to stop</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> recording go to the Watch Recording screen and press INFO to show the</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> popup menu. On there is an option to 'Stop Recording'. There is also an</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> option on 'Recording Options' to edit the title and subtitle.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> You can now play, edit and archive the recording like any other. There</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> is an option in MythArchive to edit the other metadata if you need to.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">></span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> I've made sure my recording profiles record with DVD compliant settings</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#0000dd">> so I don't have to do any re-encoding later when I create the DVD.</span></p>
