more updates and obbo's......
Yaboing, I'd already fiddled around with the pin settings on the advanced tab with no joy. Your post prompted me to try once more, and while I still had no joy, I did manage to get a still picture that refreshed every 30 seconds or so. Getting warm, i thought!!!!
When playing around in preview pins and capture pins and recording codecs and sound and crossbars I got hopelessly lost. I couldn't remember for the life of me what was where and when b4 I started (pen and paper? what's that then?) so I deleted TV settings from the registry, nipped off to hauppauge for their latest and greatest, ran HCWclear.exe then started over...
I installed "wintv2k352_21079.exe" (application) and "wdm335_21093.exe" (driver), checked things were OK by scanning for channels and viewing (not recording) using the winTV 2000 software. All was well.
Fired up MC and went the same way, and once again all was not so well, so, with a little more care, I began playing with codecs and pin settings again.
Now, I've got things working in MC, but....
something keeps setting the capture/preview pins back to 640 x 480, so each time MC is closed, and I go back to TV I have to go reset them.
Oh yeah, changing channels via the right-click menu still doesn't update the info in the player control area, thus messing up the Next and Previous buttons.
Been a busy few weeks for you Yaboing? Keep at it m8, you do a great job and I know you'll nail it soon.
