After using this update longer recordings now come up with a CD/DVD full message when I try to add a recorded TV show to a DVD+RW

I am in Australia using PAL DVB-t with Nvidia Decoder, Nvidia Display Driver and Hauppauge MCE Nova-T

Any ideas??

As a UK MCE user with PAL TV, I find that the Update has improved stability. Previously any dvrms file edited with the 'Fun with dvrms' editor failed to burn to a video dvd.

However, the conversion is now very inefficient. I find that selecting any dvrms file of size > 2GB gives the DVD full message. A 1.5 GB file can be burned as a video dvd and occupies 3GB of space.

It seems are choices are to buy a 3rd party burner not integrated with the Media Center application or to wait for the next update.

Hi, i am in the UK and can confirm i see the same behaviour as Anthony Milwain. If i try and burn to DVD +RW anything over 1 hour (i've tried 1 h 15mins) i get the CD/DVD Full message.

anyone else any ideas on this?
