This will fail if the recording PC has no sample grabber or can't actually playback the file... When I tested with 500 ms, sometimes the recorded file was only recognized as video (no audio) or audio (no video), so the process would fail... Keep that in mind... 
Depending on timing, using the same filename for the actual recording as for the default one in your .GRF file, could create a problem...
Presently I don't analyze the audio, but that might change. |

You're hacks are amazing. I just tried out Grafcorder, and could ALMOST get it to work.
I created a grf file using GraphEdt, similar to the one listed above - a simple graph connecting my Firewire tuner to the DVBPortal dump filter. In the dump filter I specified the name "M:\Media\test.tp".
Now when I invoke GrafCorder from the command-line or from BTVE, if the filename passed is different than "M:\Media\test.tp", I get an "Invalid filename" message and GrafCorder exits. If I use the same name as in the dump filter, then all is good. I note this is the OPPOSITE of what you predicted above...
Here's the entries from my GrafCorder log:

This is GrafCorder 0.03, and BTVE 1.14.
This seems exciting to me because VLC recording is flaky!
Best of luck
