Separating SA and DTBaddin

[bigsteveg]

Has anyone tried separating SA, Toolbox from the Media PC? I installed DTBaddin on the Media PC , Win 7 64bit and loaded ShowAnalyzer and DVRMSToolbox on Windows 2003 Server. My goal, to separate ShowAnalyzer from consuming the processor on my media pc with other systems I had free.

When I did this, I get the message that the commercial file is not there.

If you're recording wtv format, what you're doing won't work. The new wtv format (wrapper actually) is proprietary by MS and no O/S other than Win7 and Vista/TV-Pack can play wtv files. If the O/S can't play it, SA can't analyze it because SA uses DirectShow filters to read the wtv file. MS won't release the details on wtv as they did with dvr-ms. Who knows why...
