Please help me - no audio in VirtualVCR, and fps < 15 in VirtualDUB !

Hello,

I have a TV card ("713x BDA Analog" chipset, if it means something to
anyone). I use WinXP SP2

I'm trying to operate either VirtualVCR, VirtualDUB or VLC in order to
be able to watch TV, and record certain shows (by starting recording
immediately or by scheduling). The bundled software - Cyberlink's
PowerCinema is too heavy and error-prone.

The problems are:

in VirtualVCR I hear no sound - everything works great by there is no
audio in the preview nor the recording.

in VirtualDUB, while I don't activate the "audio preview", I can see
the TV show correctly, but whenever I check the "audio preview", the
video stream gets segmented, with no more than 15 fps.

VLC is just not comfortable watching (I can't change channels and so
on)

Thank you in advance!
Tal.

 

I use VirtualDub with either of my two very different tuners (one
built in my laptop, the other external, one without a hardware
encoder, the other with), and for the most part it behaves well,
although it has no scheduling function. I am not able to relate your
problem to anything I've experienced myself, however, I do find it
necessary to force Video > Preview (as opposed to Overlay) for one of
my tuners.

Another application I started to use recently, successfully, is KM
Player. This also works with both of my tuners, though it took a bit
of understanding of the capture options to configure it correctly. If
scheduling is a high priority for you, you may want to look into GBPVR.

 

I forgot to mention Media Player Classic. I can't get it to produce
audio with my devices, but it has good flexibility and may work well
with yours.
