Hauppauge WINTV PCI Frequently Asked Questions.....
I wish I'd came across this FAQ before I started re-installing my Hauppage PVR250 card - merely running the uninstaller, re-booting, re-installing the current card driver and then the application ain't good enough! The page on their site doesn't seem to be linked off of the support section and has a couple of dead links - the link to the PVR application (for example) - you can snag that file from their Digital Asia site.

This aside I think it is a killer product - I'm increasinly using it instead of my VHS.

A few more things....
With that version of the card driver I now seem to have access to 12mbit MPEG2 - it previously max'ed out at eight.
Also - variable bitrate files will ONLY play back in the Hauppage app - even the mighty VirtualDub does wierd stuff with the audio - so I'm sticking to CBR files.
It seems that for a given bandwidth the files produced now look better than before I re-installed - wierd?!
