We mentioned last week that a private beta version of DVRMSToolbox, version 1.2.1.7, was available last Friday to Early Access members. Tonight Andy Van Til released this fantastic tool to the public. The biggest new feature is of course support for the .WTV files that are created in Windows 7 Media Center (7MC.) For a full write-up on getting DVRMSToolbox working with version 1.0 of ShowAnalyzer in 7MC, check out the post we wrote last week.
