Also You should always go to the HP website or whatever you TV tuner is made by and download the latest drivers and they usually provide the necessary software for download.
I work at Best Buy, Geek Squad.. you use "Windows Media Center" to utilize to tuner. As long as the driver is loaded, that is the program you use to utilize the tuner.
I know very little about TV tuner cards so I can't really help you, but providing Windows recognises the hardware you at least know it's a software issue. What OS are you running?
I did a quick Google search and a couple of posts implied Windows Media Player is able to capture video. Not sure about that.
In any case if you know what software you need just download it from warez-bb or piratebay. It'll probably be there.
it doesn't have to be expansive. a very good pc for video editing and gaming today has not to be over 700$. well, at least in euro i get a pc for that price that will work for at least 3 years without any problems. ;)
and i forgot, whoever rated my first comment thumbs down has no idea about pc's today. nothing is cheap and nothing gets older faster than a pc, but if you want a working machine, you have to know what you need and what to avoid.
hmmm... You could film footage of you playing and then record you talking over it as you watch it on audasity. I'm not 100% shore if its freewhare, but hopefully there should be a freewhare version out there. Good luck. :d
Yeah but I can't record the footage without a working tv tuner o.- If I try with a normal camera, the flickering of the screen makes it impossible to see
Yeah Best Buy is a peice all right. Ive had so many customers service people always piss me off...
I know how you feel about buying a PC and not getting to use it to its full potential. Ughh.Kinda a pain in the ass sometimes. Oh and HP is a crapfest. I dont have a HP computer but my other HP products like to kill themself after warrenty. Hey least you dont have a laptop like mine that seems to be cold all the time because it freeze programs none stop.. thats why Im a console kinda person =)
Heh well my laptop sucks too, the graphics card is so bad that it barely runs WoW even though I spent 2000$ on it (I was young and stupid). All in all I just wish I knew the techy people I know now back when I got the pooters, so they could've helped me custom make computers that don't suck instead.
But yeah, consoles are nice because you know the game is going to run on them. However, aiming with toggle sticks still sucks x.x
If I had your new AIM, I could possibly help out with the problem. That said, I used to use a program called DScaler to input my PS2 via my TV tuner card, and it should recognize most, provided the drivers aren't screwy. Should be able to record via FRAPS, if nothing else, with that application.
64 is just what came with the computer x.x And it's 700 gb, I don't have anywhere to save off everything if I was going to downgrade to 32, heh. I just need to get rich and famous and have a friend custom-build a pc for me.
I'll look into it, though it probably won't do much, thanks.
windows sucks in general its not the computer company, its the operating system its running, also people who work at best buy and company's like that don't know jack shit about what they r selling but if you want help hit me up on aim and i can try to help you
Heh yes well, I grew up with windows and I'm a gamer, so it's not viable for me to get into a different os. Anyway, if you know how to work tv tuners, that'd be great :p
well i grew up on windows to from i think 98 and up, i just resently switched to mac os x lol but yah i might be able to help you out if you can give m the full product number of your computer like my desktop would be an acer aspire m1100 etc so give me that and i can see what i can do. Also if you have ia or msn or anything let me know and msg me on youtube inbox so i can add you; It will be so much easier to help u.
Um, camstudio is just for recording computer stuff, I think. And I messed with the trial and didn't like it o.- if it registered my tv tuner, then great, but it doesn't..
...I would, just sayin.

bluecobalt27 2 years ago
as for video editing you need stuff like:
- a fast cpu, lots of ram, graphics card doesnt matter that much
for playing games:
- fast cpu, less amount of ram, good graphics card
good mixing of both:
- quad core cpu (very good for editing, good at gaming, but not needed)
- at least 3,2 gig of ram (if you run it unter a 32 bit version of windows) (standard)
- geforce or ati graphic card with at least 896 mb ram (good for mordern games)

1. bring this shitty piece of a pc back to the store
2. never again buy a pre manufactured pc
3. ask yourself what you need in your pc
4. then ask or search the web for good price points
5. go into a computer store and tell them about it and ask if they can build you that machine if you can't do it on your own
6. have a fully working pc with all the specs you need :)

as long as you dont have more than 3+ Gigs it really just slows the PC down and causes games to break down more

I'll be honest with you, I'd just pirate some software, like cyberlink power director.
