I can't seem to get MCEbuddy to work well. All the videos that it converts from WMC is just a grey screen with audio. No picture shows up. I imagine I might have settings wrong.

MCEBuddy has a forum on Codeplex. I googled 'mcebuddy gray screen' and is seems like you are trying to convert shows that are flagged copy-once.

I have been transferring the files to a faster PC to try and get the process to finish faster. I suppose I'll give doing it on the media pc a shot.

If your video is copy protected by the broadcast, not software will be able to convert it. With the newer builds of MCEBuddy 2.3.15 it actually flags the conversion and stops it if it find a copy protection flag unless you manually instruct it to ignore the flag.
