    I've had quite a few problems with dropped frames in EyeTV (7528) using an HDHomeRun Quatro HDHR5-4US tuner: the only software I found to check the .mpg file inside EyeTV archive is MPEGStreamClip which reports timecode breaks (e.g.: dropped frames) and will try to fix the stream file.

    I find the HDHomeRun DVR solution on a NAS more reliable: I can set that DVR and EyeTV both to record the same show and frequently I see timecode breaks in the EyeTV recording, but not in the HDHomeRun DVR recording.  Both systems are connected via LAN cables to the same gigabit switch as the HDHomeRun tuner, so I haven't a clue what's wrong with EyeTV.

    It's tedious, but my current process with EyeTV recordings is

    - edit clip in EyeTV (this editor is the only reason why I still use EyeTV, since the guide no longer contains season numbering info)

    - test archive file .mpg stream with MPEGStreamClip, then Export as MPEG if timecode breaks need fixing - else export as MPEG in EyeTV

    - convert in HandBrake

    Some day I'll get a life! :)

    What settings are you using in Handbrake, and how are you loading the metadata? I want to put them into iTunes/TV App, but to work right, I need the metadata.
