Hello,
I'm running into a couple of problems with a new Hauppauge WinTV PVR USB2
box -- curious if anyone else has run into this and/or resolved it.
I'm attempting to do something very simple and straightforward... capture a
video segment from the tuner using WinTV2000, then burn it to a DVD with
Ulead MovieFactory 3. (Note that both software packages are the ones that
ship with the capture box.)
However, even though I select DVD format (standard play) as my capture mode,
no matter what I do, I can't seem to keep MovieFactory 3 from re-rendering
the file. It takes an hour or so to render 4 GB of video (on a 2.8 GHz P4).
I can't tell if it's rendering the video stream only, audio stream only, or
both. I have the latest drivers and apps from Hauppauge's web site and have
told MovieFactory to not enabled the option to "not convert compliant MPEG
files."
So, my questions:
1. Does the USB2 + WinTV2000 produce truly DVD-compliant files?
2. How do I keep MovieFactory 3 from re-rendering the video?
Clearly, if I have to re-render all MPEG2 files captured from the PVR, there
is no advantage over capturing to an AVI through a Brooktree-based card or
similar.
Another interesting glitch: I can't seem to figure out how to delete a
custom capture profile in WinTV2000. There is no "delete" button, nor do
the typical right-click/menu options work. Any ideas? Do I need to dive
into the Windows registry to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin
