I have lcd tv with hdmi input and you are meant to be able to use analog audio but the problem is the video card has dvi output only.
But when you use an adapter the tv gets a false signal so it cuts off the analog connection

ive just wasted alot of time finding a solution so thought i would share it
its not mine i found it on the net

first you need to download moninfo.exe
heres a link but you can just google it

and here are the instructions

Part III - Spoofing the EDID signature


If none of the measures described above helped you to get your screen picture and analog audio the way you want them to look and sound, it's time to resort to EDID spoofing. Also, if you are an experienced Windows XP / Vista / 7 user, it should be easier for you to fiddle with the registry than with the cables and adapters.

EDID spoofing means that you are about to deceive your graphics card into thinking that your TV panel uses only DVI connection and has no HDMI capability. You may get some of your display settings screwn. Or not. Really depends on the system, but more often you get away with it than not. There's always a way to undo the changes.

Here's the instruction (don't ask me why it should be done this way and not another - it just works and that's ok).

The instructions below are given for Windows XP 64-bit, but there's little difference between its registry structure and what you'll see in Vista / Win7.

1. Shut down the system, disconnect all the displays except the TV panel (use a digital connection: DVI->HDMI, DVI->DVI or HDMI->DVI)

2. Boot up and get the Monitor Asset Manager: [LINK]

3. Run it and look into the upper left window as seen in the picture: [LINK]

4. One of the entries should be marked as 'real-time', not 'registry'. That's the display that you are currently using. Select it.

5. In the 'Raw Data' window, copy the first four bytes (symbol pairs) from the second row, as seen in the picture: [LINK]

6. Now it's time to make up the magic spell. Paste these symbol pairs, e.g. 4C 2D C4 03 in a text document. Then add the following symbols: 00 00 FF FF 04 00 00 00 7E 01 00. In my case, the spell looks like 4C 2D C4 03 00 00 FF FF 04 00 00 00 7E 01 00. Obviously, the first four bytes (shown in red) will vary depending on the model of your TV panel.

7. Press Start, choose Run, type Regedit and press enter. Here you go, you're in Windows Registry.

8. Let's see where Nvidia graphics adapter settings are stored. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Video\

9. Inside \Video\ you will see one or more folders named like {########-####-####-####-############}. Each folder corresponds to a different GPU found in your system. Cards with 2 GPUs will get you two folders per card, the same goes to SLI setups. So a triple-SLI setup of GTX 295 cards should result in six different folders there.

10. It's hard to tell which folder corresponds to the GPU that actually drives your TV panel if there are two or more folders there. So let's make each and every GPU forget to use HDMI connection with this particular type of display and emulate a DVI link instead. None other displays will be affected as long as they are of a different model. And if they are of the same model, you'd want to fix the missing analog audio for them, too. (Honestly, I can hardly image a guy with two or three widescreen TVs hooked to the same PC in the same room)

11. Inside each folder named like {########-####-####-####-############} you will see a folder titled 0000. Open it and behold a crap load of application-specific parameters. Scroll the list to the very bottom, right-click on it and do Edit / New / Binary Value. You'll get an empty binary value at the bottom of the long list.

12. Rename the New Binary Value into OverrideEdidFlags0 (no typos please or won't work!). Right-click on it and choose Edit Binary Value. In the opened window, type your spell, e.g. 4C 2D C4 03 00 00 FF FF 04 00 00 00 7E 01 00. That's how it likes when if done properly: [LINK]

13. Apply the same procedure to each folder titled like {########-####-####-####-############} inside \Video\

14. Reboot and enjoy your analog audio

15. If the analog sound isn't back, send for the witch doctor. But most likely you did something wrong - misspelled the spell or tinkered in a wrong registry folder.

16. To undo the changes simply kill all these newly created OverrideEdidFlags0 parameters and reboot.

17. If you lose your analog audio again after reinstalling or updating video drivers, repeat the whole ritual.

This new card has been nothing but trouble. First it was endless VPU Recover errors (which I think are fixed by more power) and now its an infinite loop of death error.

In a computer with an AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (2.09 GHz, 1GB RAM,) I recently installed an Asus AH 3450-512MB-AGP (ATI Radeon HD 3450) card for its HDMI out. When I start the computer, everything appears fine. The screen appears on the TV beautifully, I can run (almost) any program, play videos through WMP 11, run Internet Explorer, etc., but when I start GB-PVR (1.4.7,) the fun begins. The menu shows up but as soon as I try to access Live TV or TV Guide, the CPU use goes to 100%, the screen flickers a few times, then I get a green screen telling me the ati2dvag driver was caught in an infinite loop and the computer is frozen. The only option is to press the power button to turn off the computer and again to turn it on.

I have updated drivers, tried various releases of ATI CCC, installed the AGP hotfix, and more. Anyone else seen this problem or have suggestions?

Thanks.

My upgrade to 1.4.7 has been mostly smooth, but I have an issue when recording with BDA multiplexer set to: Microsoft DVR-MS mux. I have been using this mux successfully with previous GBPVR versions.

After installing 1.4.7 the scheduled recordings using the dvr-ms mux start and stop when expected, but only a 6KB dvr-ms file is created. This happens on all channels.

I can watch dvr-ms created by previous versions, watch live TV, watch DVD's and record with the TS Mux without difficulties.

I've used the dvr-ms mux because it is the only one that gives flies that I can quickly FF/Rew through while seeing frames from the file. The TS files created when using the TS Mux only display a frame after a brief pause. This makes it difficult to move through the file and know where you are in the recording.

Currently the only mux I can get to record is "TS Mux". The other mux's all exhibit similar behavior as DVR-MS mux. Mux Checker gives the following output.
[INDENT]
GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: Microsoft DVR-MS Mux

Found: PP MPEG Muxer (aka, CyberLink MPEG Muxer)
FILE: C:\WINDOWS\system32\mpgmux.ax

Found: ATI MPEG Multiplexer
FILE: C:\Program Files\Common Files\ATI Technologies\Multimedia\atimpenc.dll
VERSION: 10.9.0.40813

Found: GB-PVR's TS Mux[/INDENT]

I've attached my log files. I did various recording with BDA multiplexer set to:

• DVR-MS 6KB dvr-ms file
  
• TS Mux works
  
• Cyberlink 0KB mpg file
  
• ATI 0KB mpg file
  

I am going to try and make this card (VisionTek TV Wonder HD 650 PCIE) work including ClearQAM! Wish me luck. I am new to GB-PVR and this card. I will keep posting the progress (or failures ) Here are some threads that I am going to use for help. Any pointers from those who have made this work already will be greatly appreciated. (I can go to windows 7 x64 if that is a better proven platform for this card ..)

Hi

I have a fresh install of XP SP3, GBPVR 1.4.7 and have run NMTInstall to get mvpmc share set up.

GBPVR shows up allright and all my old analog recordings play fine. But in the new install I also changed my old PVR150 cards to two FloppyDTV with CAM modules.

I have set the cards up and the computer records fine (the files play fine when playing from my laptop that is set up as a GBPVR Client in streaming mode and when accessing them direct from a share on the computer from the NMT).

The problem I have is that when I try to play a recording done with the FloppyDTV cards trough NMT with MVPCMX2 the screen just turns black and nothing happens. I tried this a few minutes ago and after that I rar:ed my logs and attach them to this post. I thoughy somthing was faulty with the recordings but as I say they play without trouble when I access them directly from a share on hte computer.

Anything in the logs or can I perhaps provide som more info to help me narrow the problem down and solving it.

Title says it all really. I'm looking for a simple and free tool to merge 2 avi files into one avi file.

I've started working on a program to check syntax to help out those with having errors loading mvpmcx2 from the mvpmc share provide more information. To use it in the top left edit box enter the IP of your NMT or the hostname if you have a hard disk in the PCH

Some default hostnames are

PCH-A100
PCH-A110
HDEYESHOT (EGreat)

After this your PC should try to connect to your NMT to gather more information to help solve some common problems.

Then hit Check and cut and paste the resulting text into your support post.

I have included a screenshot of this error I'm getting. This happens when I try and launch Ztranscode. I have set all paths in Zprocess for the required apps. Please let me know what I need to attach for further troubleshooting.

Thanks

I am using an ATI TV WONDER HD 650 USB Combo device and I am not able to get GB-PVR to detect any channels on the coaxial Digital input. The signal source provided by Cox is ATSC using QAM which is piggy-backed over an analog carrier on the same coax.

This is what I've tried so far:

1. After initial install/configuration, I went to Capture Sources and then clicked on Add.
   
2. In Edit Recording Source I selected Digital Recording Plugin for Recording Source, then clicked on Settings.
   
3. In the Digital Source Configuration screen, I selected ATI 650 Pro (QAM) for Device Type and then clicked the OK button, leaving all the other fields at their respective default values.
   
4. This is where I started guessing: Back on the Edit Recording Source screen, I bypassed selecting an EPG Source since I had yet to find one with the particular listing/channel-alignments I knew I needed.
   
5. So, the only thing I could think of was to go straight to channel mapping via the Map digital channels to EPG channels button, because I knew this would at least start auto-scanning for channel from prior experience.
   

I have an older P4 that I have been using to record with HDhomerun and a custom batch file plus sharing the record folder out to view on other machines. This has served me well. I have acess to all the Windows 7 SKU's so I decided to try Ultimate and the built-in Media Center. It turned out to be really CPU intensive and the .wtv format of the recorded files was not viewable by my Popcorn Hour so that was a deal breaker.

I found out about this pvr as I was researching and decided to use Windows 7 Starter. I really like the small foot print of this OS (running aroun 250MB idle) and all else appears to work well.

Except for this software (gbpbr) I get a message "Sorry, this system does not support the required VMR9 video render." I'm wondering if there is an way around this or if I should just try one of the more feature full versions of windows. I might just jump to Home Premium and see.
