I have followed the advice listed on WinTV-USB installations but cannot get the WinTV USB card to be recognized. Has anyone been able to get this card to work? If so, what were the tricks?

WinTV-USB

After having to reinstall my PC i found that the naming in the file 'CaptureCardDefinitions.xml' (in the MP folder) was wrong for my card (WinTV PVR2 USB2). I found half the solution in the forum but figured the rest out myself. Basically what i did was that i found the section for my card in the settings file. I then checked the name of my card in the device manager. The difference was that a '2' was missing in 'Hauppauge WinTV PVR2 USB2 Encoder' in my file.

So i changed all instances of the name in the correct section and now it works fine.

Dunno if this is the solution for your problem but it might be a step in the right direction.

Good luck

Thanks for the hint. I got a little further... MP now alows me to setup the TV card but will not "generate the graph. I'm getting this error in the MP Log.

I created a WinTV USB Definition in the CaptureCardDefinitions.xml. I'm guessing on the parameters but did find most of them. I did not find the tvaudio in graphedit. I suspect that may be part of the problem.

Any thoughts?

Some more detail. I tried an older WinTV PCI card and got about as far. In GraphEdit either the video for the PCI card or the audio on the USB card will not render.

The USB card seems to get closer. There is not TV Audio capture device listed in GraphEdit.

You need to have a supported MPEG Encoder installed, for example Intervideo WinDVR.

I got tired of the crappy picture quality so I just bought a WinTV PVR USB2

Cheers,

I have it loaded. It didn't seem to have any effect. I have tried a couple of other TV Tuner cards (Norwood, and WinTV Go-plus) with similar results. Within GraphEdit I am unable to get the components to connect.

I'm going to try an AVI TV Wonder next.
