[QUOTE="ltpr, post: 859680, member: 120818"] Sasha, though I have not been able to troubleshoot my problem with MP not getting the video/sound from Colossus, and, shutting down the HDMI port.....I went ahead and tested ShowBiz per your suggestions above. Here is what I found out: [LIST] [*]I did have my htpc/TV set to a resolution of 1920x1080 [*]When I first went into ShowBiz my cable STB was already set for and HD channel and it showed the resolution as being 1280x720, with audio at Dolby Digital (AC3) 5.1 channel. [*]I proceeded to switch to an SD channel and it did not change the resolution, it still showed it as 1280x720, yet, the audio did change to AAC 2 channel. [*]I switched back-and-forth many times and still the same result. Then, it ShowBiz froze and I had to restart it, yet, found same results. [*]I switched the DVI-to-HDMI device on/off, as well as, restarted my htpc. Found same results! A couple of times when I first went into ShowBiz and the channel was set to SD, ShowBiz would flash very quickly 720x480, yet, would then go displaying 1280x720. [*]The various available setting within ShowBiz Capture are set as follows (within Device and Format Settings): NTSC_M (there are many other selections for this), 172060 lines, brightness 125, 12 MB encoding rate, H264 encoding = 480i/576i (4:3) - 480p/576p (16:9) set to Auto, video encoding 12000000, HW acceleration ON. [*]During one of the tests, Win7 gave me an error indicating "Display Driver Stopped Responding" and flashed the htpc/TV on/off. [/LIST] OK, so that is my extent of testing with ShowBiz. As I mentioned can not test on MP until I debug the issue of MP not getting access to the video/audio of Colossus. Questions: [LIST] [*]Why does ShowBiz get access to video/audio, yet, not MP? [*]Why does ShowBiz show all (SD & HD) at 1280x720? [*]Are their settings which I need to change to get the correct resolution with ShowBiz? [*]What can I do with MP to ensure I get the Colossus feed? [/LIST] That's it for now! Thanks for all your help and have a GREAT weekend! Regards, Luis [/QUOTE]
