Hey onestop that is good to hear that is what I am looking to do. Although I am not sure what you mean by using your Camcorder as a bridge.

Yo mbanx, the later range of DV camcorders actually have analog video input and transfer to PC by firewire (IEEE 1394). In other words the DV camcorder is really acting as a bridge to convert analog video into PC. The only setback is that you can only input the same video system (PAL or NTSC) of your camcorder e,g digicam is NTSC than VHS must also be NTSC.

Well I have my card installed not to many error message but I dont have anything except a blue screen. I have it hooked up to a flat screen and my resolution is set at 1024x768 not sure if that has anything to do with it I tried at 800x600 and had the same problem. I dont see alot of options on my control panel that I might have missed. Also no audio I have coax ran into the card and the panel says live tv and acts like it is doing something but I cant see it. Any suggestions?

Allright I got tv picture but still no audio. I cant find the audio in on my mother board. The closest thing I seen was a 3 prong plug coming from my board and I am not sure what it is. coming from the xp card it shows to be 4 prongs, my audio is on board but I cant seem to find where it is to hook up.

Oops! couldn't find audio in huh? Ok, it is normally on the sound card of your PC but on some cases that it is embedded together with the motherboard. Well, if you belong to the 2nd situation, the easlier way to trace is to look at the audio wire from your CDrom that goes to the line-in of the motherboard and there should be another similar socket call the "Aux". Remember that if you link to the "Aux" than make sure that the "Aux" in volume control is turn on or else there will be no sound again.

OK I have sound and I captured a video to my hard drive ran it through TMPGEnc to MPEG2 format, now I want to try to burn it on DVD but none of my software sees it. CloneDVD, CopytoDVD, and Nero but they do not appear for me to burn. One app. said something about .IFO what am I not getting here? As far as I know is that my file is in DVD format ready to burn.

Yo mbanx, 1st of all is your MPEG-2 able to playback by any DVD player software like PowerDVD, WinFastDVD or Windows Media Player? If yes, lets forget about all other DVD burning software and just use the Ulead DVD factory given by Leadtek. When you are using Ulead DVD factory, during the 2nd folder when you are adding video, look at the left side middle where you see an arrow, click on it will allow you to choose whether or not to use chapter function. Just curious what format did you encode in the ist place? I would susgest that you use the "DVD NTSC" in the WinFast PVR rather than those MPEG-2 functions.
Strange to me that you mentioned about .IFO because you should burn MPEG-2 using Ulead DVD Factory which will do the image stuff automatically. IFO stuff is what that will be rip out from an DVD and they must all be put to a VIDEO_TS folder (create yourself) and than burn in DVD by Nero, RecordNox Max, etc. Well you could read up more about ripping DVDs in this forum too.

No visual change but appears to run 20% faster? Does Leadtek have a version log?

Oh I See, I've downloaded the newer PVR and probably write to Leadtek to ask what are the improvement. By the way, in what ways is it faster? during mpeg encoding? Gee, kind of lazy to do the upgrade and setting up the TV & FM channels.....

There is no need to reset the channels, just install over the top and all will be ok.
it seems to use 20% less of my processor when watching TV.

I have two problems. First the sound cuts off after a few minutes, i've updated the drivers and the software. I read somewhere to turn on auto protect on norton antivirus. I've done that as well. it still goes out.
Another problem is that if i record something on my tv card, my computer doesnt play the sound, i tried to play it in the software it came with and windows media player. Windows media player looks for a codec, then doesnt find it and finally just displays the video.
If ne one has ne solution to these problems, let me know. Thanks

Yo, So far this TV Card works smoothly with the updated driver and PVR Software from the website. Well, your reason of no audio during capture might due to the audio setting in PVR is not set to where your audio cable is connected to (e.g CD or Aux). Turn off the Norton Protection is more of during the installation and will not effect your viewing of TV and copying of video. Well, strange about the codec thing but if you want better MP3 capabilities, you could check out for Radium MP3 in this website.
Finally, if all of the above doesn't work, try removing the PVR and do the drivers update stated in the user manual and install PVR again. On the worst senario, return it for a new piece.....

ok i changed the recording line and it works until the audio cuts out like its been doing every couple of min. I guess if I can get that fixed it will work. So does anyone know what I can do to prevent the audio from shutting out every couple of minutes?

I could really use some help too. I'm using a Shuttle XPC and my sound card is onboard. The only two places I have for Line-ins are the CD_IN (which is occupied by the cdrom) and the Line_IN (which is being used by the front ports). If I bought a cable that had two connectors, could I connect both the cdrom and the tuner to the CD_IN? I don't think that it will go in the other since it's bundled together with a bunch of other ports for the Line_IN (I assume that Shuttle did that so it could be used for a mic). Would this work? I tried just unplugging the one connected to the cdrom and the computer did not deal with that well

Yo SienaBob, I don't think that you need to connect your CD-rom audio cable nowadays. Use the CD-in for your TV Tuner and the Line-in for the front connection and I believe things should be fine.

When I did that last, the onboard sound card and cdrom both stopped working. It told me that the drivers were missing. I had to do a system restore. Was that caused by using the installation cd or b/c I unhooked the cdrom? I think that the drivers may have gotten corrupted b/c the tuner didn't install properly. I know that the cdrom cable used to have to be hooked up if you wanted to put an audio cd in a computer and play it...maybe I'm wrong though.

I got it working. I just had install with the newest drivers instead of the ones that came with it. I plugged it into the cd_in and got rid of the other cable and it worked fine.

Yo SienaBob, glad to hear that your problem was resolved, please remember that there are still some settings to enable in the PVR software esp. changing the audio recording settings to "CD-in" or you will not have any audio during recording... Cheers

Hello, I started to use the FM radio more often now but recently realised that the music will stop after 2 mins or so and have to close application and restart again. Very weird because the TV Tuner is fine.

Yo guys, my radio problem fixed. Leadtek support told me to disable Norton Auto Protect on MSN Messenger and it works.

Hey guys, have anyone try the S3/hibernate function yet? I changed my Abit NF7-S power management settings to S3 and wakeup by PME# PCI, after scheduling the TV recording, I put PC to Standby mode which is kind of different from before (fans stop and more like hibernate) but when it wakes up for recording, a very loud alarm trigerred and it sounds like coming from my Harddisk. The only way to stop the alarm is to restart the PC again. Can anyone advise me on what did I do wrong?
