[GamingwithFuzz]

So it can work on mac forsure or what?

and if it works on a mac, what other software do you need and where can i get it?

[johngraham1]

@GamingwithFuzz Yes it works on the mac with eyetv software.

[mojo9jomo]

dude why is my picture on the preview box is black and white and on the tv it has the normal colors

[rharvier]

It will run on vista 64 and win7 64 with updated software and drivers. I am constantly recording onto my win7 rc htpc. Check AVS forums and the happaugue website for more info on this product.

[cootjemaffia]

would it run on vista 64 bits ??

[johngraham1]

No i had to downgrade to vista 32. I have it working great with a mac using elgato software.

[cootjemaffia]

allmost al the capture devises are 32 bits

[xforrestfirex]

hava platinum does and it has just as good quality.. look at my vids

[NOSC0P3SAVAG3]

i have the 32 bit vista. I have a brand new XPS comp.

[NOSC0P3SAVAG3]

it works great on mine

[squirell147]

holy shit, got much on your desktop!

[NuclearBlue]

Dude I don't know what your talking about, I installed this on Vista Ultimate 32 bit and it works flawless.

[gosiris]

i dont know if you tried this, but on vista try right clicking it and running it as administrator, it worked for me, maybe it will work for you

[haloman950213]

you can use tve eyetv 3.1 for this if you don't want to use parrarells

[AndrewEnderWiggin]

I understand this captures HD content but, does it also capture Standard Definition content? i.e. DVD-friendly MPEG2?

Or, does it only capture as H.264?

Will i have to convert every recording back to MPEG2?

Also, are there interlace/de-interlace options? 4:3 and 16:9 input options? Can I keep the input audio as PCM .WAV 16 Bit 48Khz or does this unit convert incoming signal to MP3 & OGG? Thanks :)

[johngraham1]

This is for H.264. If you want to make DVDs there are better products out there.

[AndrewEnderWiggin]

What products are better?

I thought buying the Hauppauge HD PVR might prove useful, in the long term? In the short term, I could use it to capture standard defintion (from my Sat Box) via RGB SCART to Component > H.264 > edit in Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 > save file as AVI, DivX, MPEG2 etc etc. Right?

You are probably aware that any dropped frames at the highest resolution is probably because you are running windows in a mac. I dont have parallels but I have Fusion. When I run video on my windows pc, vista or XP inside the mac, I dont expect the frame rate of running on the same hardware minus the mac below it. The virtualization is taking alot of that power away already.

[HallidayInnn]

"Ooops"

[noobsinmjolnir]

i have windows vista 64bit and it works just fine i got no problems what so ever

[BlockJFilms]

it works best on Vista 32 bit (Software that is). But hardware will work best with the 64 bit because of the HD quality files.

[RandomShadowMan]

I had no issues at all installing this tv card under Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 except for the HD IR Blaster but I have never gotten any IR Blaster working right so it might be my cable box. I didn't use anything except for the stuff that came on the CD.

[sic0048]

Keep in mind that the HD-PVR is a capture device. So any dropped frames or problems with playback may not be related to the HD-PVR.

What was the problem setting it up under Vista? I've installed it on a Vista machine recently without problems. But I was using the 1.0 Drivers released with the newer batch of HD-PVRs. Perhaps the first run had a different firmware version.
