Forget the avermedia route Jean-Marc, iv'e been there and they have nothing thats of any help at all on their website.

The quickest way iv'e found of experimenting with Graphedit, is to drop one component on then right click on a pin and select render pin.

Try this with different components (Not just the avermedia ones) and also try dragging and dropping media files into the Graphedit window, you'll soon start to see which individual components like to talk to each other. :-)

I don't think i saved any of the filter graphs i was experimenting with, beacuse i was just playing to see which DS filters i had installed, but i'll have a look on my drive(s) see if i did.

I found a lot of info on this guys website http://www.pcpret.nl/develop/ when i was researching a different DVB-T device, and a lot of it is generally relevent to Directshow and BVB-T capture in general.

You may also want to download and install the latest incarnation of Videolan (VLC Player) that now has direct hardware control in it, so you can use a comfortable GUI to mess around with the DS Tuner and DVB settings.

Any time jean-marc, but i wouldn't look at it as wasting time, i'd look at it as increasing my knowledge :-)

Prety much the same approach applies no mater what DVB-T device you play with, so it may be worth just getting a cheep plug in USB one for your own PC, that way you can play with graphedit at your own leisure.

Sometimes (Even on time sensitive contracts) you have to figure things out, in order to make them work efficiently, and even though we try to get the job done as efficiently as possible, sometimes there is more investigation to be done than there is actual solution building.

Iv'e had a look to see if i could find any filter graphs but iv'e no idea what i did with them, if i get 5 mins i'll hack one together on my TS-IQ512 and send it to you.

High likley hood that your not tuned to any usable signal if all your getting is black. Either that or your crossbar source is set to somthing like SVHS input, but thinking that your on the tuner.

If you can see blank, and graphedit doesnt complain, you are actually getting output from the video decoder & the crossbar, just the input is either not correct or not there.

PS: the info on this site http://www.pcpret.nl/develop/ will help.

Hmm... that doesn't sound good. If every bit of software fails with the same, then it sounds to me like you have either a driver fault of worse still somthing up with the hardware itself.

Try using VLC, play with the advanced streaming & recording options in that, if you still have no joy then i'm afraid nothing i can do to help.

To answer your tuner question : Yes. The tuner driver also includes the code to switch off the tuner input and switch on the others.

I did indeed, wel one that uses the tuner anyway.  Only problem is i can't find a way to attach files to this post, otherwise i'd send you the jpg.

Thank you Shawty for your help!

Unfortunately, it seems that I have no BDA Analog Capture filter available... The only ones that are available are in the WDM section, and are specific to the hardware (AverMedia Capture, Tuner and Crossbar).

It thus seems that's it's a driver related issue or something like that...

But that's the ones I've been using all the time without any success...!

Has anyone gotten this to work? I need to capture Svideo on the Iq826t also. I may return this Iq800 and get the iq507 if there is no solution.

I am trying to get video to show in Matlab and they say try to get it to work in AMCAP: http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/files/s1-1B4VP/AMCap.exe

If anyone knows how to build the proper graph, please let me know. Thanks!
