I surely do see the OSD (if by OSD you mean the show description & timeline bar) and *thought* I installed all the same codecs as the first time around. I find the WinDVD codecs to be somewhat wonky (encounter strange hi-speed video sometimes after FF/REW) but have to use them for now since the doggone F7 isn't working with the cyber codecs.
Is it just me, or is the importance of MPEG decoding software rather understated in all of this. I built my PVR from scratch and initially had NO codecs installed and couldn't see video playback. I later found out (thanks to sub's helpful replies) that codecs are often installed with your capture card's player, but my PVR500MCE came only with a driver disc (OEM from NewEgg) and I don't have a player to install.
