Default Terratec Cinergy XS Hybrid

Hi,

I'm trying to add support to the above card for analogue but making some mistake somewhere and can't find where.
here the code





and the picture of garphedit




Sorry I couldn't post the code but every time I tried the preview would not show the full code but just the headings.

I also tried to change %tvtuner% and %audiotuner% with pin 1 and 4 but same result. When I try to select the card in Mediaportal I get:
"unable to create graph for this device"

I also include the error and Mediaportal log:

      </connections>
    </tv>
  </capturecard>
As you can see I use PCM Mpeg video encoder etc...which came with cyberlink power cinema. It's a codec that fools a decoder in to thinking that he is dealing with an Mpeg stream. The downside obviously is that if you want to do recording it comes out as an extremely large file but the positive side is that it hase very very low cpu usage.
On the other hand if I tryed to use the normal Cyberlynk encoder it woldn't work properly and I had to use another encoder like Elecard to have analog working.
I'm quite pleased with the discovery of this PCM Mpeg since many people might be interested.
Maybe MP could develop something to have the encoder switched automatically for viewing or recording.
Ciao

Hi sciutand,

I also have the cinergy hybrid. Unfortunately I have disposed the supplied cds containing the cyberlink software as I didn't like it. Could you give me a hint on how I do get my card working none the less. I don't know and understang much of all this filtering stuff and thus working with graphedit.

Is it possible to get those mpeg encoders somewhere else as I would also appreciate a low cpu usage.

Thanks so far...
