📎 AI Summary:
The user is experiencing an issue where converting .wtv files to .dvr-ms using Windows 7 results in significantly shortened files when the source is on drive E. They found that moving the files to drives C or D allows successful conversion with original length preserved, prompting suspicion about drive E's condition. Another user suggests testing a third-party utility to determine if the drive E problem persists, which could help identify whether the issue is with the drive itself. The overall sentiment indicates troubleshooting, with a focus on diagnosing potential drive issues.

When I use the Windows 7 option to convert .wtv to .dvr-ms the converted .dvr-ms files are much shorter in length than the original .wtv files, e.g. a .wtv file with a length of 2:35:58 will be converted to a .dvr-ms file with a length of 29:35.

To troubleshoot this I tested a few .wtv files all with the same result. The .wtv files where all on my (E) drive. Next I moved the .wtv files to the (C) and (D) drive and successfully converted the .wtv to .dvr-ms with the original length intact.

Does this mean my (E) drive is failing or is there another reason why this is specific to the (E) drive?

I'd try using a third party utility to see if that works on your drive E - if it does then that would clear your drive E of suspicion.
