Has anyone tried using this card? Its fairly unique in that it uses a PCI-E interface!

is there a way i can do something so caller id wont hold the va panel screen saver from coming on?

I have been trying for some time to resolve a mysterious playback issue with ATSC HDTV recordings. Some recorded (and live) shows play smoothly and others are choppy in VMR9 mode. Playback of all recordings is smooth in overlay mode, but this does not allow me to adjust the aspect ratio for full-screen viewing.

According to GSpot, the smooth and choppy dvr-ms files are the same resolution and bit rate (see below). Although my system is modest ([SIZE="1"]AMD Athalon XP 1800+, 256 MB, Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 128 MB, PureVideo decoder, Haupauge HVR-1600[/SIZE]) the choppy playback does not seem to be because of CPU load since it is always below 40% even in VMR9 mode.

I am using the DirectX 9.0b quartz.dll as suggested in other posts and I am not running ffdshow or dscaler.

Can anyone suggest a way I can troubleshoot this problem? There must be something different about the smooth and choppy shows, but GSpot does not provide much info on dvr-ms files other than this:

GSpot results for both smooth and choppy files:
[SIZE="1"]File Type: ASF (.WMA/.WMV)
Mime Type: video/x-ms-asf
File Length Correct
Sys Bitrate: 159618 kb/s

On thing that I would really love to see, is some plug-in to connect to a video download services, like MovieLink, Unbox or other.

I'd be willing to put time into a project to develop this, but I'm not sure what API's are available for these services.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Flames? (Ok, no flames please.)

Am planning to add a new tuner, would this model work, I know the PVR2000 is supported but this is the newer model (w/ builtin HW encoder)

Hi All,

I've finally realised that I haven't got time to finish this project so I'm putting it up for sale. The hardware is completed but the software side hasn't been touched for ages...

You can find details, and pictures, of all the components here:

I'd really like the buyer to collect from Bracknell, Berkshire but I'm willing to drive a little distance...

I have pretty much all the original boxes and I'll even throw in a spare motherboard.

Drop me an email to nigel at pondlife dot biz

Cheers, p.

Some of my recordings play back jerky in GBPVR but play fine in WMP. I tried playing the videos in Dell Media Experience and I get the same jerkiness. I only have one video renderer listed (Intervideo). This is with the renderer set to VMR9 Custom. When I set to Overlay I get less jerkiness but the color is not as good and the sound isn't lined up (off by about 200ms). This is relatively new and happened right before I upgraded. Must have been something else I installed (codec / video drivers?). Anything I can do?

Again, the play fine in WMP. It tries to download a codec but fails and plays fine.

Today I upgraded to the latest GB-pvr software, and what could go wrong did! I can live with having to re inter all the settings to get it back up and have but the Question is Why does it not see the old tv recording from the old software? I put in the correct path to them. When I record something new its right next to all the old recordings. The only way I could get to watch them was to put in the path to video recordings down in the video library directory Any Ideas will be much appreciated

Hi
After several years running Gbpvr on windows 2000 I thougt it was time to move to a newer PC and run it on windows XP.
However, i cannot figure out why I cannot install the GBpvr software.

When I try, I get this error:

Fatal error
Installation ended prematurely because of an error.

My windows installation is a fresh installed XP pro. In addition to XP I have installed:

Drivers for Hauppauge PVR-150
dot net 2.0 redist.
Direct X 9
XP codec pack
Hauppauge WinTV2000

With wintv2000 I have verified that the PVR-150 card is working.

Downloaded .NET 2 framework again and repaired the first .Net installation.

Did I miss anything? Can anybody help me to figure out what I am doing wrong?

I'd like to search the forums using two keywords using an "and" logic. I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this with the forum search (or "advance search" for that matter). The results keep showing up with "or" logic on the keywords.

I must be missing something very basic. Can someone help me out?

Thanks.
