Adding analog TV-Card - Avermedia M785

[Dan.]

I followed instructions for adding a capture card from the wiki, but the example there is only for digital ones, and mine is analog.
How can i tell which parameters to add to the direct.ini file?
This card has a hardware MPEG2 encoder chip.

Can you run FilterCheck then attach the resulting FilterCheck.log: http://forums.gbpvr.com/showpost.php?p=1...ostcount=6

Can you check if your direct.ini has the following card defined? Mine does, and it seems to match your card, but I cant remember if it was added after the last release.

The direct.ini file has that card defined.
At first i configured GB-PVR with this card - M113 (it was the one it detected)
When i used those definitions the picture was all scrambled and impossible to watch.
Could it have something to do with the fact that here we use PAL instead of NTSC (as writen in the first line)?

It shouldnt matter. The drivers should know the correct standard, or derive it from from the country you selected. There is nothing in that definition that is telling it to use NTSC.

You could try to force it to PAL_B by setting "ForceStandard=16" at the top of direct.ini.

Changing the 0 to 16 at that line fixed the problem.
Thank you.
