Zero File Size Problem

[d.daddy]

First off, I would like to thank you for developing such a slick piece of software. I do plan on making a donation soon. I purchased a Digiwave DGP-2388 which is reconized as a Conexant 23880 Video Capture device under Device Manager. As you probably know, there is practically no software out there that support this inexpensive card. Your software is the only one that will.

For the benefit of you or other users, I had some issues with the "Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object" which was fixed by setting deinterlacing to "none". Second problem I had was no sound which was fixed by making changes in the "sounds and audio devices" under control panel. On my SB Live sound card, I had to go to the Voice tab and turn off the mute on my line in volume.

Some History,

I have already installed the THMpgMux.ax MUX from the Twinhan website and get the following:

GB-PVR has detected the following multiplex filters on your machine:

Found: CyberLink MPEG Muxer
FILE: F:\Derek\done\tv tuner\mux\thmpgmux.ax
VERSION: 5.0.2022

I have run the re-register filters batch file.

Now to the problem: When I record, I get a file created but the file size is zero. I have searched the forums but no luck. See attached log file.

Thanks for your help!

Zip and attach a complete set of logs and I'll take a look.

Here you go. I didn't realize you needed all the logs.

Thanks!

10:20:10.375 ERROR Failed to get capture filter output pin. This will cause encoder auto-detection to fail

Can you run the filtercheck utility, then zip and attach the resulting filtercheck.log? http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=6

Here is the filtercheck log.

Sorry, but it doesnt look like your capture device has the required MPEG2 encoder, so it wont work with GB-PVR.

[d.daddy]

so GB-PVR can not encode to MPEG1?

[d.daddy]

according to the box, the video can be captured to MPEG-I or MPEG-II or AVI. But then again, that's just what the box says.

I just checked the codec for one of the higher quality files I encoded using the supplied software WinTVR3. The file is encoded to MPEG-II according to G-Spot. It seems the card is MPEG-II capable. Any other ideas?

The device doesnt have an hardware MPEG1 encoder either.

When it mentions AVI then this is usally a good sign that all its encoding is done in software.

These files would have been encoded by software rather than hardware.
