Thanks everyone for replying.
I do have the DVP642, and it does play the .mpg files recorded by the
Hauppauge PVR-150.
But it takes a rather long time for a .mpg video to load before the DVP642
can play it.
On the other hand, if I convert the same .mpg file to .vob format (using the
Ulead program that came with the Hauppauge card), - the .vob format DVD
loads and plays virtually instantly in the DVP642.
But I think the video quality is not as good as with the original / raw .mpg
file.
Does everyone else have the same experience?
