[QUOTE="djurik, post: 126351, member: 28590"] I tried to make SW-encoding analogue card working for long time (Leadtek WinFast). I was successful - but it was terrible practice. E.g. I did this operations to make good picture and sound: - using InterVideo deconder-encoder (after testing about 4 other collections), - using MPEG1, not MPEG2, - using constant bit rate for video, not VBR, - increasing the CBR, - some settings about video-sound streams synchro, - set the original capturing filters to use VMR. If you want to use the HTPC as toy for everyday settings, testings, restarts - continue and you can become an expert in directshow, filters, grabbing etc. If you want to use HTPC for usually viewing TV, DVD, videos, listen music and radios - use HW-encoder. With WinTV 150 I was ready to use MP in one day. Btw., I found some other SW working good with my SW analogue card - e.g. SageTV. But MP is better. [/QUOTE]
