Since it's done on a separate laptop and you are transferring it after the fact it has no bearing on the PVR2 capture going bad. So if now I have it correctly the commentary capture is a red herring at this point. Ok at 1st you were doing both on the PC but I see you used someone's suggestion to split the process between the PC and laptop but you say it didn't help. It doesnt matter if the software is free or not, as long as it works.although im not interested spending alot on a piece of software ive tried OBS and FFSplit, but i keep getting errors so they wont work. Ive read that Capture4Me and Gamercap work with it but theyre made by the same people who made Capture ( NextPVR i believe) so im a little apprehensive about spending $20-$30 on something thats gonna have the same problems or other issues( inb4 i dropped $150 on what is slowly becoming a fancy glowing paper weight ). what i wanna know is, is there software out there that works with the HD PVR 2(GE) without taxing my computer too much(Capture when not recording uses about 33% of my processor, when recording its over 50% without any other programs running) and that can produce videos without any problems i.e one that i can import into adobe premiere, add my commentary and render without spending hours of editing. Ive posted here in the past about my problems with Capture( thread is here: ) and the problem persist.

But FTA sat HD recorders may wish to buy a cheaper HD sat card with PVR software instead.Ive been using Hauppauge Capture to,well, capture game play footage from my xbox and im getting pretty frustrated with it(and fed up with Hauppauge in general).

The HD PVR is pricey and it's a bit of a stretch calling it a PVR (it has no EPG or hard disc) but it does the job well enough. S-video recordings from our Sky+ HD were predictably better than composite. Luckily, SD and HD recordings converted using Arcsoft software were faithful to the source. Windows Media Player, VLC, Media Player Classic, our Xbox 360 and PS3 and even Arcsoft's own media player all exhibited stuttery pictures, loss of audio sync or incompatibility messages. Recording BBC HD from our Pace FTA HD box then converting it to MP4 with the Hauppauge software gave poor playback results. A Hauppauge application or Arcsoft's equivalent can be used to create more usable MP4 files. The Capture Module application lets you specify the length of recordings which are made in their native resolution in. Recording, playback, conversion and burning to disc are handled by the Arcsoft software suite. A remote is supplied for use with third-party apps such as GB PVR.

Getting video onto your PC requires connecting the PVR to a USB port on your PC and installing the software suite supplied.Īn IR blaster attaches to your receiver's IR window for channel- changing, the accompanying application coming with preset codes for major manufacturers. Coaxial and optical digital outputs are provided for audio capture also with loopthroughs.
