I am the happy owner of an Sapphire Threatrix 550 Pro and have no problem using it with MP with last drivers from Ati. I must admit que image quality is a bit better than the one I have with my Hauppauge PVR-500.
The graph that matches your devid is the one below from the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml.
You will need to change the 'commercialname' to match your card and also load the four filters into graphedit and check the pin number connections are a match to the filter graph below when you 'render' the filters in graphedit.
<capturecard commercialname="Sapphire Theatrix 550 Pro" capturename="ATI AVStream Analog Capture" devid="ven_1002&dev_4d52&subsys_a3451002&rev_00">

<tv>
<interface cat="mux" video="" audio="" mpeg2="0"/>

Hi,
afaik, the commercial name is not importand. Just use one that fits your needs and is unique (not used in capturecards so far).
To graphedit: Its easier to "copy" a working graph:
- start graphedit
- start an tv app which works
- in graphedit: File->Connect to Remote Graph
- File->save graph
- File->Disconnect from graph
- Close TV app
- Load the graph and check if it work: RUN graph
Flip.
The information you have supplied shows the filters and graph can be built correctly BUT the error indicates MP can't build it with the information we have given it .
From graphedit choose the insert filter and expand the details of the ATI AVStream Analog Capture .
We need to know the pins that are assigned to the filter specificaly their numbering. How many pins are listed 0-n ? what is n
Don't be concerned about the svhs because this is done internaly by the filter from software .
If you right click the filter and choose the filter properties you can see the crossbar associates
Curious as to which application you were running to get the filter as No hardware mpeg encoding is being done by the 550pro with that graph build?
