Lars_MQ Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 well there is no decoder installed, it can't work. First install suitable decoders (maybe from the install cd of your dvb-card) then it will work. Quote
PeterausMelbourne Posted July 7, 2008 Author Posted July 7, 2008 well there is no decoder installed, it can't work. First install suitable decoders (maybe from the install cd of your dvb-card) then it will work. I didnt get a CD with it just the driver pre-installed. I have looked all over the Internet and cannot find it. I am very dissapointed. Quote
hdv Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 Hello, you don't have any DVD-Player software, like PowerDVD or WinDVD ? A Trial or Demo will work too. Quote
Griga Posted July 8, 2008 Posted July 8, 2008 I have just upgraded from Windows Vista to XP SP2. Exactly expresses my opinion about Vista. However, XP doesn't provide a MPEG2 decoder, that's the source of the trouble. You may want to try freeware decoders - here you'll get some hints. Or install ffdshow. It's working pretty well with TV/recordings (not DVD playback). Make sure that MPEG2 is enabled in the ffdshow Video Decoder Configuration (see start menu), Codecs section. Set it to libmpeg2. And switch deinterlacing on. If there is more than one MPEG2 decoder installed, go to Options -> DirectX in DVBViewer and select which one shall be used. Quote
PeterausMelbourne Posted July 15, 2008 Author Posted July 15, 2008 Oh wow that works very well. Now I have sound in my HD channels as well. XP is the best thing ever invented well done Microsoft Quote
