nVTV dual MPEG-2 card does not work, have graph that does.

[nathanbrown]

I recently obtained an nVidia nVTV dual MPEG-2 card because I was tired of waiting for the PVR-500 MCE card.

Anyways, it doesn't seem to work with any of the independent DVR programs, SageTV included. It is strictly a MCE type card. I have however made a render graph for it work with GraphEdit.

I found some references to the MCE standard on MSDN so I think that Microsoft has publish how the cards works.

Any progress been made on this front? I too recently got a hole of one...

The picture quality seems to be better than the PVR-150 I compared it to.

Cheers,

Interesting because the samples that my fellow staff memeber Nintari has at HTPCnews show very poor image quality compared to a PVR-250. And the PVR-150 has slighty better PQ then the 250. The problem from what I read is that NVIDIA did something really stupid with the drivers. They basically made it MCE only. http://forums.snapstream.com/vb/show...8&postcount=11
I bet that graph you made is recording to DVR-MS format (MCE's proprietary format) and not pure MPEG2. If you swap out the decoders for a dump filter you can record it to disk. Out of curiosity if you right-click on the one simply titled "NVTV" in the graph and get its' properties you should see a window similar to the picture in the attachment, what stream types are listed there?
