i meant to be saying decoder not encoder....so same info just put decoder instead of encoder

Ok

For the MPEG2 encoders i have
software default
PVR350
Sigma Design XCard

I get the following message under live TV on the PVR350 and Sigma encoder setting

Video is playing back using TV Out

Thats not the piece of information I'm talking about, but whilst your there make sure its set to 'none - use software decoding'.

The decoder list I wanted is just below that, with the name 'video decoder' next to it.

I would guess you have found my problem. It says System Default. and there are not other options to change it to. What should I download from where? if that is the solution.

Video decoders are included with lots of software, but it sounds like you dont have any of these.

The Intervideo decoder is installed with the WinDVD software. There is a also a version of this decoder installed with the Hauppauge software.

The Cyberlink decoder is installed with the PowerDVD software.

There are lots of others too, but these a couple of the more common ones.

I think there is also a free one at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gplmpgdec

I used an interVideo install disk from my laptop and now I have everything working. Well the sound stops working when I pause but I am trying to research that right now. Thanks for the help.
