I'm running in to the same problems with trying to edit recorded TV media
center files with software other than the bundled Sonic.Sonic wont let you
edit without paying $70-$100 upgrade. I already have Adobe Elements but it
won't recogonize the dvr-ms files. I was told Roxio Easy Creator 7 will
recogonize the files so I'm going to try it this weekend.
I'm just looking to edit some of the commercials out of the recorded TV
before burning.
I will let you know how the Roxio works
