Install Problems

[ThomasK]

I am new to GB-PVR and tried installing it today on a fresh XP SP2 box. I get errors, and Im sure there are things required that I am missing.

I have a BT878 capture card, that is generic, but I believe it is the same card as the WinTV card from Hauppauge. Looks idential and the chip is the exact same.

My question is, since I cannot get GB-PVR installed, is there a document I can look at that tells me all the requirements?

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I have been looking at this forum almost all day and my eyes are getting tired.. I figured it was best to ask then to give up.

I am downloading WMP 10 and making sure I have the .net 1.1 on the machine. Anyone care to steer me in the right direction?

Thanks,
...Thomas

Sorry, your card is not supported. It is missing the hardware MPEG2 encoder.
