    What am I doing wrong?

    I created a profile in DVRMSToolbox with the first action being Throttle DVRMStoMPEG and the 2nd being Convert to WMV with DVRMStoWMVHD.  I set the ContextFile to InputFile, and the prx to the included WMVHD.prx.  However, when I run it, it doesn't seem to do anything.  It creates a file of size 0 bytes.  Here is the log output:

     Both ways complete immediately, so they're not doing anything.  I'm using DVRMStoWMVHD version 1.0.3.  I have AC3Filter installed and use it for audio decoding.  What should I do differently?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    Here are the results if I run it with no prx file.  First is the results from within DVRMSToolbox, then if I use the command prompt.  It seems that DVRMSToolbox doesn't show the percent complete like it does with DVR2WMV.  This time it's actually starting to run (with the .prx file it didn't), but it hangs immediately and terminates.  Results were similar with other input files.  Let me know what I should try next.  Thanks!

    is that how you have ac3 filter configured?  if so, can you send me a small sample of that file?
