Re: Vista x64 Live TV stutter



Hi Ivory,

I also having the same problems you are seeing exactly and am
glad that I found this thread.

Please let me know if you do get contacted from Hauppauge about a
fix.

Thanks much,
Gregg

I have 4 1GB dims on my Board.
DMA-Disk access is enabled...
Error logs not exitent, because the LiveTV-app doesn't register this green
screen!
I wrote to the Hauppauge service. A technical engineer tells me, the problem
is replicable in his office. He tells me also: ask me in a few weeks for a
solution ;-)
We would see.

If you have DDR2 memory dims do you have 4 1GBs or 2 2GBs?
Do you have DMA disk access enabled?
Are you using a Ready Boost device?
Any error log entries that are revelent?

NVida driver: Yes, but the german release
Hauppauge driver: I test this driver in my search of a solution, with the
same green screens.
At the moment I use the 158.18 german nvidia driver and the hauppauge
driver
coming with the windows updates (v.6.0.6000.16408) --> these drivers are
the
newest, but green screens ;-(

Hello,

I have no problem to start my Vista with 4GB of RAM. After that in the
control panel I show also the 4GB! But my LiveTV doesn't work --> green
screens.
I must disable the "memory remapping feature" or remove 2 of my 4GB RAM
to
bring my livetv to work.
I check an other thing: I disable the Tuner 2 (IRQ18) in the control
panel.
So that only the nvidia card uses the IRQ18! But the Tuner 1 doesn't
work -->
green screens.
I think Nvidia or Hauppauge has a problem with the 4GB RAM.
But why I can play (with 4GB RAM) videos recorded with 2GB RAM without
green
screens? Very strange!
I hope, hauppauge has any Idea for this bug. see this thread:

Also make sure your BIOS is up to date.

It is the sharing of your NVIDIA card with one of your tuners that is
causing the problem since they are both hgh bandwidth devices and
cannot
easily accept a delay in a trasfer without causing dropped frames
and/or
stuttering.
Regretfully other then changing slots I don't know of the various ways
to
change IRQs. If your MOBO is fairly new it should have 24 IRQs
available
via a BIOS setting.

Tuner 1: IRQ 17
Tuner 2: IRQ 18
NVidia Card: IRQ 18
I have no Idea how do I change the IRQ's. Other PCI-Slots have no
effekts
of
that.
In all slots the Tuners share a IRQ with an other device!
But in my manual of the A8N-SLI can I read: slot 2 is not shared
with
any
other device. It's a Vista twister of my IRQ's.
But with IRQ 17 and 18 and 2,8GB RAM the PVR500 works perfectly!
Only
if I
enable all 4GB of RAM I can see green screens in my livetv window!!!

Hello,

I have the same problems with my VMC!
I also have a ASUS A8N32-SLI Board, with an Athlon X2 4400 64 and
a
PVR500.
Many peoples have the same problem! Show this thread:
http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/board/showthread.php?t=11051
In My Opinion, I think that is a bug in the drivers. Maybe the
graphics
driver?
What for video chip you are using for? Thats my: NVidia GeForce
7600GT.
I discovered that the problem appears only with nvidia cards!
But the newest driver doesn't fix my problem!

Any help?!?!?
