[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 922866, member: 82144"] Hmmm, okay. I've had a second look at the DxDiag and there appear to be three stream sources available from the tuner: 1. The DVB-T tuner. 2. The analog tuner/crossbar - according to your tv.log file this appears to be linked with the analog tuner and the composite and s-video sources (AKA SCART) 3. The HDMI/component input. MP is not going to be able to access the HDMI or component input due to limitations in our code. The code was designed for analog tuner support, and the capture input support was an afterthought. If the HDMI and component inputs were on the same "crossbar" as the analog tuner then they would be available, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case. Sorry I didn't notice this before as I was focused on looking for encoders. In the context of an encoder, HD vs. SD depends on the settings of that encoder. According to the product page that you linked earlier in the thread, the AVerMedia encoder is capable of this. So when they advertise that they support HD encoding it means that their encoder has a 1080i setting. The question would be, does the Intervideo encoder have a similar setting. I don't know off the top of my head but I suspect not (especially if it is "ancient" as you describe). As I recall, the Intervideo encoder settings are available in MP configuration... but since you're using XBMC that makes it a bit trickier. You could attempt to access the settings via GraphStudio - checking the filter property pages - but that is a pain on W7. You need to register additional DLLs which MS decided to remove from the bog-standard OS after XP. I'm also not sure whether changes in the settings would stick and apply for MP when configured this way. Given that support for the HD inputs is not going to be possible with MP as mentioned above, is all of that "moot"? [/QUOTE]
