Wow, hours of searching the gbpvr forums and I hadn't stumbled upon the irq issue. Thanks guys! Sooo, i've been troubleshooting all day now.
First of all I'm actually not having any problem with jumpy/choppy video in DVICO's Fusion application. I can even schedule recordings with it. The only thing is that the HD recording done by DVICO software is only readable by DVICO's own software. If I try to capture in mpeg with the DVICO software, then neither powerdvd, WMP, or gbpvr display it correctly (e.g. only a few frames a second and scrambled audio).
With GBPVR I was able to view Live TV on the DVICO once, but then after a reboot I had a GBPVR.exe crash (and then GBPVR became corrupted, requiring a reload of my disc image). HD recording with gbpvr always results in a BSOD with "IRQ less than or equal to" error pointing at the "zulutcap.sys" file.
With that said, I went on a mission to try and resolve the possible IRQ conflicts that you guys highlighted...I go to device manager, check out the properties of DVICO WDM Capture then go to the "Resource" tab, and it indicates IRQ18.
Now I go to the DVICO BDA receiver device, click on "Resource" tab, and device manager locks up. I can still do anything else I want in windows, but device manager is out of comission. Very strange.
So then I sort devices by IRQ and see that both the Receiver and Capture are on IRQ18. Is that part of the problem, do they need to be given different IRQ's even though they part of the same card in the same pci slot?
So given that device manager was locking up, I decided to try the ACPI-->Standard PC conversion (thanks daphatty), assigned the PCI slot IRQ4. Then went to device manager and the same situation occurred. Hmmm.
[Edit: just to clarify, I assigned IRQ4 to slot in BIOS]
I'm kind of at a loss now and have obviously tried many different PCI slots (and in the process finding one that doesn't work at all). Any ideas? Is there a way to manually reassign an IRQ in windows (especially considering that I can't get to the "resources" tab of the BDA receiver device)?
Thanks for your input so far!
