Sagetv 2.0 not seeing second card?

[tenebrion]

Last weekend I got a new ati 9600 pro card and installed it. After updating the drivers and wintv pvr 250, sage tv doesn't see the second wintv card.

the cards:
wintv pvr 250
wintv pvr 250 - 16 (the new one).



I had trouble with the dual card setup (in the past), I had to play around to get the old card to work with wintv, now its not seeing both cards. Although I Have try disabling one and the other, sagetv sees the card each time, but when i enable both cards, wintv doesn't see the second one.

Any recomendations?

Another quick question, how well does the blackbird cards work with 250-16 card, i'm thinking of ordering another bundle.

thanks,

check your properties file to see if the ignore_encoder line has your encoders in it...if it does, delete your encoder entry and restart sage.

err I think i just solved my own problem right when you posted, LOL. It was the ignore line. in the properties file.


Another question: What the best video decoder use?

[insomniac]

Its always arguable, but im sure most will lean towards the the hauppauge intervideo with dxva and hwmc enabled.

Presently, im using elecard. I believe that would second vote.

I like NvDVD, sonic and cyberlink
too much blurring with intervideo products and elecard does a bad job always weave deinterlacing or leaving artifacts

I like cyberlink, I would try NvDVD (whatever that is). Any video cards with built in support?

yeah I think the next generation of NVidia cards will basically have support for the NVDVD v3.0
