[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 214024, member: 11550"] the hybrid cards don't have special hardware to encode the signal, like the better quality dedicated analogue cards. I'm guessing you already tried lower quality settings in the mp config? It sounds like you have set the quality too high, which is resulting in the high cpu usage and the quality sucks as the cpu can't deliver that. Even modern PC's will have issues with real time high quality divx encoding. To test, try and watch analog tv with MPeg2 encoding and see how it goes. I'd say the WINDVR app is probably also using MPG2, which is a much easier thing for the CPU to encode. You'll get huge files (eg 1Gb per hour) but should get better quality. [/QUOTE]
