I seem to be having some trouble getting AC-3 encoded divx/xvid's to output sound to my receiver. The problem seems to be limited to avi files though, as the DD light is showing for a lot of my recorded shows. Everything that is not AC-3 is passing through fine for recorded shows and avi's.

I have AC3Filter 1.01a installed. AC-3 encoded avi's pass through PowerDVD (version 4), wmp, and media player classic to my receiver without problem. It's only when trying to watch them through GB-PVR that I run into the sound issue. I've switched between Cyberlink and the InterVideo NonCSS for the audio decoder and have selected the default directsound device for the audio renderer. Any ideas?

Interesting prob. I have a win2k pc nvidia fx5200. Works with hauppauge sw fine used to work with your older build when it had a diff video card. I can record and then watch while recording or i can play an older recording fine. So codecs are ok. Its only when I play live tv. Its just a black screen. If I hit esc it just returns to the menu. The build is from about a week ago. I will get more details later. BTW I posted this message a week ago but it seems to have been deleted. Are messages purged evey few days? Sometimes I can't get back to check on a project for a week or so.
Thanks for any help, Damon
PS this is all on the monitor. I haven't even got to the tv out yet.

I’m ready to take the plunge. But first, I’d like a little feedback on the following items.

1. Processor. Everyone recommends a 2GHz processor, but they don’t mention the type (like Athlon, Sempron, P4). As long as it is 2GHz, will I be OK?
2. MediaMVP. Looks like the MediaMVP is the way to go for remote control access, keeping the PC (and its noise) away from the TV.
3. Hauppage Cards. Should I go with the 500 (dual tuner) or a pair of 150MCEs? I want the option of watching and recording at the same time, of course. I think that the 500 gives me less heat, fewer components, but higher cost and a single point of failure. The pair of 150MCEs gives me more heat, the ability to start with one and add another later and a lower total cost. Do I need XP Media Center for these cards, or will XP Pro work? I don’t see much of a difference between all of the Hauppauge cards. All have h/w encoders, some have remotes.
4. System. I’m looking at a barebones kit from Tiger Direct (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...-1022%20M). Chaintech motherboard, Athlon 2900+ (2 GHz), 120GB Maxtor, 518MB RAM. Anyone have any experience (good or bad) with these Chaintech systems? Cash layout $400, comes with $150 in rebates, total price $250 if all rebates come back)
5. What else do I need to know?

Has anyone got Technotrend devices running?
I spent 3 days without success. Tried "Direct Recording plugin" as well as "BDA Recording plugin" and can´t find a suitable list entry.
Which drivers do i need? I want to use my XCard together with the TT S 1102 (budget card without mpeg decoder). Could it work?

PLEASE HELP - i´m a dammned Newbie

Is this card compatible? In terms of functionality it is similar to the PVR250 and is Conexant Blackbird based....can I trick GBPVR into thinking its a 250 or should I just cope with the name brand and go hauppuage?

When viewing the date on my system is shows the long date format ( so it shows the day as well ) but when I switch on my MVP is shows the date without the day.. anyone know why ???
P.S I'm in the UK.. and had to change the date to long format to get it to show the day.... but as above it won't show day on MVP..??

So I've got a single PVR-150 and a MediaMVP, and everything finally seems to be working great. Because I'm greedy, I wanted to put another PVR-150 in my machine, but I was concerned about splitting the cable signal yet again. Sure enough, when I split it, I started encountering difficulties. GB PVR had a debug assertion fail (atlcomcli.h line 150, p != 0), and some channels had audio problems. Taking the splitter off again seemed to fix those problems. This is unfortunate, but I suppose I can live with just one tuner. So my question is, has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Why is GBPVR continuously exchanging data with ns2.misproductions.com? It is talking from port 8000 on ns2.misproductions.com to port 1073 on my pc, and from 1073 on my pc to 8000 on ns2.misconceptions.com.

Hi,
I have chosen GB-PVR from the limited range of software available for my card Sapphire Theatrix 550 Pro. This is because you seem to have a lot of experience, and a vast amount of features.

Anyway the brief outline of my issue and the scenario:
My TV Card arrived 2 days ago, for 2 days straight I have been pulling my hair out trying to get it to work with alternative software inc this. I only just got UK channel 'five' working this morning still distored but works so am happy! Anyway the problem is I have no other channels currently tuning in, I have set all the channel numbers manually aswell via the Tuning Assistant however it is just poor static. It is not my signal as it works perfect with another software, but I don't want to use it, as I find this one nicer and am hoping to be able to get it working with the help you everyone here!!


If it is possible you someone with the same card as me post there config files? Reg keys? So I can easily set everything, as it would be much more easier.

Thanks!

Is there going to be any B2C2 flexicop based card support fro gbpvr?

I have an "technisat airstar2" card which I would like to use.
