Make sure you have Haali media splitter installed and make sure you have the MPC-HC filter selected as your video filter in MP config settings (under video player settings). You may also need to configure the MPC-HC filter itself to enable it to process all video file types.

MP1 MP2 Hauppauge HVR-2200 tuner card. (1 Viewer) DE
Probably is referring to that but you can actually install codecs after MP if you wish, it doesn't make any difference for me. However i think before is probably better. What kind of video card do you own?

Hello everyone. New MP user here. Downloaded the standard install, and I am installing MP on Win7 x64. I have a hauppage 2250 hybrid tuner card, with the 4.8 drivers loaded. WMC detects the card, and uses it as a hybrid, like it is soposed to. It works great. When I start the TV server setup, it only detects the analog tuners of...

hauppauge usually lets the composite inputs run both ntsc and pal. It is only the tuner that is limited. You need to set the source up as an analog cable input, you need to also set the video signal to Pal. I don't have a 1600, but my old 250 can do this without problem, assuming your receiver is doing all the tuning you should be...

The main reason is conflict of accessing drivers, this can make things very unstable. For testing TV problems especially possible reception issues, we always recommend running the manufacturers program to test things with, because if that does not work, then sure as hell, mediaportal won't. Not sure why your applications do not...

I'm a little confused by what you mean with "blaster." Usually that refers to a device that jumps between one IR receiver and another so you can send signals for example from your MCE receiver using the MCE remote to the STB. You refer to a "four button dog bone blaster." I've never used a proper blaster so I have no way of...

The decoder is of no use other than using the s-video out function of the board, which you don't wanna do (does not work with MP). I had the 350, now I have the 150. IMO: Chose the cheapest :)

Yeah, the software that comes with capture devices is usually pretty terrible.
