The way, I do NOT have Windows installed on an SSD, but the Vista EPG is Possibly by keeping more of the EPG in memory as you scroll through it. I have a suspicion that it gets faster as you use it, (1) On my system, Win7 seems slower to start, and slower for the EPG toĪppear and navigate.

Migrating from Vista to Win7 is not an easy choice. So I will probably attempt migration again, and modify my DVR-manager batch script to invoke "wtvconverter.exe" for radio recordings when it is shuffling the WTV/DVRMS files between various directories. I am prepared to accept a 35MB DVRMS file, because of its integration within MC and support of metadata but a 115MB WTV file to too much.Ī couple of days after reverting to Vista, I discovered that Win7 has "wtvconverter.exe", which will happily convert audio-only WTV files to DVRMS.

The most-recent migration to Win7 was aborted when I found that radio programmes broadcast in the UK TV MUXes balloon to unacceptable sizes when recorded under Win7. ![]() One thing that I did not mention to Mike is that I have tried three times to migrate from Vista to Win7, and each time after running Win7 for a day or two I have found something else that I did not like, and so returned to Vista to give myself time to decide whether I really want to migrate to Win7.
