Having just rolled back my tuner drivers to CATS 6.2 which are NSP software only drivers (ie no posibility of a confusion of hardware mpeg) there is a fundimental flaw in the auto graph build of the TVSEREVR whcih probably affects quite a few software cards.

The problem is there may be two or more filters that essentialy do one job and may share jobs between audio and video ;the  TVSERVER is only finding the first and ignoring the second before it moves on.

With the ATI cards I have tested the x-bar has two filters (ATI TV audio crosbar and ATI rage theatre video cross bar ) before the capture filter.

The tv audio  crossbar handles audio and video, the TV server can't cope with this

When the TVserver tries a filter  and fails it doesn't seem to try another  filter but closes the graph build .
