I have an HDTV. What should I use as a tv out from the computer. I don;t have anything right now. I have s-video, composite, and s-video on my tv. What card would give me the best quality? Any help is appreciated.
Just trying to create sub menus in the plugins tab, it creates a default new menu as the name, but I cannot change it. Have scoured the net and posts but cannot find any details on it.
Just got my Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150, and starting to evaluate PVR software solutions. Before I get too deep though, I've found that some stations are getting audio and some aren't, regardless of the application I use (I've tried the included WinTV 2000, GBPVR, and TVedia). I have Comcast cable, and for example TBS on channel 2 will get audio, but TNT on channel 33 won't. Anyone have any ideas as to why this is, and what I can do about it?
EDIT: I have just found out that it only seems to happen when playing back in Mono; Stereo channels come in fine. Odd, since TNT ought to be stereo as well as a few other cable channels, but any time a channel is reported as Stereo, audio works; any time a channel comes in in Mono, no sound.
Right now I'm testing GBPVR alongside a few other apps so I don't have my HTPC hooked up through my television yet. I have a WinTV PVR 150 and a Sigma Designs XCard. If I use the XCard for decoding and then set it to use my VGA monitor, it works fine until I attempt to exit the frontend of GBPVR, whereupon I get a black screen and never end up back at the desktop. I do not have this problem with the one other program I know that uses the XCard, TVedia. Does anyone know of a solution? So far, I like GBPVR better, but I'd like to use my XCard as this is a budget PC and it can use every bit of help it can get.

I had avoiding using ffdshow for TV, only becuase I have mpg files that I watch letterbox, and it was treating TV the same way and not doing 1.33.
Just the other day I stubled onto the autoload conditions in the Image Settings menu. There may be a better way, but I made a set of settings called 1-tv (1 so it was ahead of the movie settings...I'll explain). In there I set it to run when the file had a size of 740x480. Since the size live tv image size is unique, it only effects tv.
The reason I set named it 1-tv is because I had settings to resize movies (mpg, avi, and ogm). When it was just movies and tv, it seemed ffdshow ran the filters on a first-come basis in alpha order, so it ran movies 1st (on detecting mpg).
This is not adivce for all, but I hope it's a help to the few that have tried using ffdshow, and ran into issues w/ multiple file types.
I have tons of Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy all those cool cartoons taking up about 100GB of my precious 200GB Hard Drive.
Now i have a DivX DVD player and was hoping to store 10-12 episodes to a DVD and wanted to reduce my 1GB episodes down to about 400MB. When i encode using Auto GK and DrDivX on default settings or higher i get horrible results with sound out of sync and a course scrambled pixelated look.
Before i start to trawl the Divx/Xvid forums i wondered if it had anything to do with VBR or if anyone here had any tips??
I'm having an odd problem with Custom Taks which I'm hoping someone might be able to explain. I have set up a custom task to launch Power DVD in full screen mode. When I execute this custom task from GBPVR on my PC it launches Power DVD in full screen as expected. However, when I execute the same custom task through my MVP, Power DVD launches in windowded mode on the PC. I have also set up a custom task to launch Windows Media Player. Again through the PC it launches as expected but through the MVP I get a Windows Media Player install wizard displaying on the PC. Maybe I'm just doing something stupid. Any input appreciated.
I installed GB-PVR to my PC and am able to use it to everything else than what it is intented to, that is Recording and Viewing of TV programs.
I have an Hauppauge WinTV PVR-350 TV card connected to Cable network. I have set up XMLTV to fetch the information, and that works (sort of). I can see the channel setup ok.
But when I select e.g. Live TV then I get:
Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
If I schedule a recording it does not give an error, but the recordings do not contain anything, just 'rain'.
