You're not alone. I have the same issue where converted dvr-ms files from my Media Center have the green color.
Categories: Home Server Add-Ins
I have a new EX-495. The video converter produces green video when converting standard dvr-ms files. Problem shows up using Full and iPod/Zune profiles...
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Good to know others are seeing this issue. I have continued to convert dvr-ms files and about half are showing up green... Each of the files are of varying durations and were recorded over the past few years using windows media center.

Maybe the green color has something to do with the quality of the recording as configured at the Media Center. I'm also noticing that the converted video has ghost images. It almost looks as if there is a second recording being displayed on top of the other in to top third of the frame. I wonder if converting a best quality vs. standard quality will make a difference in the converted mp4.
It's interesting that the green color is not consistent.

Chances are that the problem is with the driver on the capture card. Found a reference to the problem on the following page.

Has anyone come across a fix for this? I went over the article in this thread and tried a few things, but I have had no luck. I have the EX-495. I can't convert a dvr-ms file to mp4 without it turning green and having that ghost effect.
Has anyone tried converting a .wtv to mp4 using the HP video connverter software and had success?

I just tried upgrading the Graphic's card driver on my Media Smart server to see if that would help. Still no luck. I tired converting a dvr-ms file and it was green again. Just in case anyone wants to know, I upgraded my driver with this one. The install worked fine and my system is working normally.

I am going to see what other drivers I can upgrade on this thing. If I have any success I will post it here.

I don't think it is the graphic card or driver. Try converting a dvr-ms file using Handbrake to see if the "green" remains.
