gbpvr assistance requested

[DMT2006]

You have the RCA output running from the Pinnacle device directly to your TV. you need to have the output going from your computers video card to the input on your TV, this way you will see the GBPVR interface.

Hey Brian and All,

I have an internal AGP video card (NVidia Geforce2), that only has one external connection, which happens to be a VGA connection. I guess I need some additional assistance from you all? Thanks.

I suspect you don't have VGA in on you tv set, and you want to use GBPVR on your tv set?
You basically have five options:
1) Only use gbpvr on a computer monitor (which I guess you don't want to?)
2) Get a tv with VGA in.
3) Buy a VGA->Composite converter (there are a few ones out there, I can't comment on the quality, though)
4) Buy a new graphics card with composite out (do some research here on what you really want/need, though)
5) Buy an MVP and set up gbpvr to use it (and connect your MVP to your tv screen... I think it can do composite).

ok unless you have a great want for an MVP I am pretty sure you can get a PCI video card for cheaper than one, I have never needed to buy one, and thus have never looked into them, so I cant reccomend one. I agree with Brian that your pinnacle tuner only seems to output the video being tuned by the card. this makes since espically since its a USB device, and the bandwidth to send video is considerable.

I cant really advise on what to do about the recordings because like sub, I have never used the software capture plugin.

the most hassle free way out of this for you is to get a tuner card that is supported by GB-PVR and a video card with a TV output. you should be able to come by those for considerably less than $200.

sorry I cant be of more help, good luck.

Like everyone else has stated, a video card with TV-Out is your best bet. Nvidia FX-5200 (or equivalent) appears to be about the low-end card of choice.

you also have to pass out the sound from your sound card to your TV as well unless you are using your computer speakers for sound.
