You was right! Thx!
I don't have the 3 following filters installed:
LeadTek MPEG Video Encoder
Leadtek MPEG Audio Encoder
Leadtek MPEG Muxer

What is the solution?

 

[Paul S]

You could find a copy of LeadTek and install it, or look in GraphEdit, through the filter list, to see what is already installed. I don't know where in the list to look, I use a digital card, so my signal is already MPEG2 and I don't use a MPEG encoder.

Actually, you should have gotten the LeadTek MPEG encoder along with the card. Just install it along with the drivers. If it is already installed, yours may have a different name. Find the correct name and pin assignments, and correct the file accordingly.

Here is some screenshots:
in device manager i have 3 devices installed (DM.jpg - first attachment)

In Graphedit i found the Leadtek filters, but not in the audio compressors or video compressors tab. They are in the Directshow filters tab. (GE.jpg - second attachment)

Is that ok?

I modified the xml file, but no success...

[Paul S]

The encoders that you found are the ones you want.

I can't tell what it is that you modified. If you load all of the filters that MP is calling for, and then connect the pins, you should be able to open the tuner right in GraphEdit. This way you can tinker with the filter arrangement until it works. If it won't work in GraphEdit, it most likely won't work in MP.

Here's a hint: If you right click on some filters (like a tuner) there are more options ,under properties.

Thx for the help Paul S! I owe you one! It is working. Or a half success.
Now Mediaprotal recognise my card, but with another error message: Unable to create graph for this device. I read about it in the forum. Ill do some search now.

I'm having this same problem with a Leadtek DV2000. I'm a bit slow on how graphedit really helps - how do I use this to check my card (the various instructions are a bit vague for an idiot like me), and how does it relate to CaptureCardDefinitions.xml?

I've checked for all the necessary encorders, but to make MediaPortal recognize the card...???

Ideas, anyone...?
