Hi again

No you can't just connect MediaPortal to any old graph. Further, MP does things a certain way to try and be compatible with as many tuner cards as possible. It always automatically adds the Cyberlink MPEG muxer just before the TS writer because the vast majority of cards can work like that. This means that the goal is not just to be able to connect to the TS writer - rather, it is to be able to connect to the Cyberlink muxer. Testing this is difficult because MP uses filters that aren't available in GraphStudio and sets things up programmatically in a way that also just can't be done in GraphStudio.

It looks like your Avermedia card provides a video encoder, audio encoder and muxer all in one. I think that encoder *should* be supported. Did you try to add it to the DB? If not, try to add it as a video encoder and see what happens. Make the priority:
1. Combined Avermedia encoder.
2. Separate Avermedia encoders.

I'd be interested to see logs...

Also, in GraphStudio please right click->properties on the output pin (connection) of the combined Avermedia encoder and tell me what it says for "majortype" and "minortype" under "current media type".

Yes, sometimes that is just the way it works with encoders. It is frustrating!
You could try the ATI AVIVO encoders. I think they are only allowed to be installed if you have an ATI graphics card...
