I had one working once, without timeshifting etc. Then it got dis-supported. So I used a brilliant workaround: Sold it for about 55 euro's, put in 5 extra and bought a MCE card. :D. I believe you can use the card again with the newest MP, but I would try to sell it for a good price to someone not needing a MCE-card, and the use the money to buy one of those yourself.
(O, and try to keed the remote if you have one, it works fantastic with MP and other apps).

Have you tried adding the capture card under Television>capture cards in the setup module (not in the wizard). If I remember correctly, you were able to add it as an S/W card, but I not sure if it was that way and if you still can in the current version. One thing is for sure, your card isn't mentioned here

If there is a possability of it working, you have to put it as an S/W Card.

Here's some links about the PCTV-Pro, but all with older version of MP:

Your card is really becoming obselete. The future is with MCE cards. I would defenitly advice to try to sell it (I sold mine to someone who could use a S/W card because of the different capture modes, like raw .avi instead of just MPEG2, it is a nice card when you want to edit old videotaped material (as long as you use the video-in))

Yes, unfortunately, this would need a code change to support it. Next time I'm doing something on the plugin I'll try and remember to add support for this sort order.

Yes correct that would have solved it. I guess I was more interested in finding out what I had done to cause the problem as the error message was of no help. By deleting everything I wouldn't have known so it was a learning curve for future reference. Fully understood I thought that might be the case. I also had some issues with...

Thanks again for all the help. I deleted 'BDHandler.dll" from the process folder, and as expected, it no longer appears in the MePo configuration utility. I also downloaded the X86 BDReader plugin that you posted. Renamed the existing files in the MePo folder, and copied the updated files to the MePo folder. For the most part...
