Unable to start BDA device

[jr1104]

I am trying to configure GB-PVR with my Terratec Cinergy 2400i. The GB-PVR config finds it when I setup the BDA source, but when I come to map the digital channels to EPG channels, I get an error saying that is is unable to start the BDA device. I then OK this and it then comes with an unhandled exception error. I am running this in Windows Vista if that makes any difference. Here is a copy of the log file:

zip and attach the logs and I'll take a look.

[jr1104]

My log file exceeds the maximum attachment file size, so I have included the error part in my original post.

Did you zip them like I asked?

I've set the limits on the forums to make sure people have to zip large files, otherwise my backups of the website get too large too quickly.

[jr1104]

Sorry, didn't notice that part. Here it is.

By, "logs" I mean "all the logs", or more specially I'm trying to get the config.exe-native.log file.

[jr1104]

OK, I've attached all the ones in my logs folder.

Hmm, its failing to find one of the normally installed Microsoft components. I'm not sure what you'd need to install to get this back on your system, but at least you've narrowed your search.

[jr1104]

I have tried using graphedit to add the MPEG-2 Sections and Tables, and it is coming up with an error saying 'Class not Registered'.
Also, maybe my Vista installation doesn't have it by default. Would installing DX9 from the MS website include any of the DirectShow filters?

[jr1104]

I have tried installing the DX9 update from Feb 2007, and I have tried installing the ATI Avivo codec package, but I still get the same error.
