Your audio from the HDPVR is probably encoded as AC3 5.1. This is different different than what the iPad Handbrake setting which outputs Dolby Prologic II (which is stereo). Try to have the HDPVR record in stereo.
Encoding speed depends upon the CPU, the number of cores, and memory. I've a 6-core, Intel i7-3930CPU and 16 GB of memory. Handbrake takes 30 minutes for most 2 hour recordings

I know that but that isn't that the whole point of using a converter like Handbrake or DVD Catalyst, ie to 'convert' the video and audio to the format that the iPad can play? Why else does one choose convert to 'iPad' in the settings? I never had a problem converting with Handbrake before I switched to DVD Catalyst, just that it took a long time.

I'm dumbfounded. When I click on the file in iTunes here is the file info. Does anyone know what the problem is?

Can you try picking the profile I use? Moto -> Xoom1 -> HQXT.. then modifiy selecting screen size of 1280x720, and see what happens?
EDIT: Or use MediaInfo to grab/paste TEXT details of the file, or VLC Player and get the media info from there. I'm curious as to how the Ipad Air profile files might differ from the ones I'm using successfully.

I looked at a recording hade by the HDPVR and compared it to the iPad re-encode of the file by Handbrake. I used mediainfo (http://sourceforge.net/projects/mediainfo/). One main thing that stood out is that Handbrake uses the format profile [email protected], whereas the HDPVR uses Format profile [email protected] Perhaps DVD Catalyst lets you set the profile?
What you're doing is re-encoding the file. That is almost always time consuming. Instead, you might be able to find a tool that will allow you to edit a few bytes in the header of the MP4 file to fool your iPad into loading the HDPVR recording. I did a quick google search 'How to edit video format profile' and it came up with this as a first hit:

If you read the text that goes with the You Tube video, you may figure out how to use the same technique with your files. If that doesn't make sense, there may be other tools that could help.
I should tell you that I got rid of my iPad because of a similar problem you're having. I thought it just too closed an environment. MP4 videos from my HDPVR play fine on my Kindle Fire HDx

Hey a friend bought me the gaming edition of the PVR online though I wanted to use it to record tv. It works with my cable box but obviously I can't change the channel (no IR blaster) any other device I can buy to change channels?

See if your cable box allows you to set 'reminders.' DirecTV calls it 'Autotune' I believe. In either case, the box will change to the designated channel at the programmed time. On some boxes, the reminder will also turn the box on, too.

I bought a used Hauppauge PVR 1212 so I can convert some older Hi-8 videos from a camcorder to digital format and save on my PC hard drive. I'm having problems getting this to work. After an hour or so of video capturing, the video will start freezing up and stuttering.
Here are the details. My PC runs Win8 and is a newer, faster PC, so that isn't an issue. I've upgraded all the drivers from Hauppauge's website to the latest ones. Only thing I can't figure out how to update is the Arcsoft Total Media Extreme capturing software. There doesn't seem to be an update option in the software and I can't find any links to update it on Hauppauge's website. Does anyone know how to update that software?
I'm using an s-video cable to connect the camcorder to the PVR, and an RCA cable for the sound (although if I plug in both red and white RCA cables to the PVR, I get feedback, so I only plug in either the red or the white for mono sound.
As I mentioned, everything works fine for the first hour or so (time varies) of capturing, and then the video preview in the TME software starts freezing and stuttering. It does this too during playback of the video. The PVR does not get very warm or hot .. and I've read about overheating problems, so even tried the PVR on its side, where it can vent way better from the bottom vents, and that made no difference. I don't think overheating is an issue with this one.
The capture settings I've been using are 8m for the bit rate and I'm saving it to an MP4 file. The videos play back fine from my camcorder and they are 480 res videos (standard def). I've tried the video capturing with 'hardware acceleration' enabled and disabled, and either way I have the same problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Are you sure this isn't just from one, certain, problematic Hi-8mm tape as opposed to being a problem that occurs after an hour or so? Try another tape. It might be that the tape in question seems fine but actually has a glitch in the time code, or whatnot, at that certain point. Another test would be to make a short, few minute recording of just the part of the video tape where things go bad. If things go haywire on a short three minute recording of that same patch of tape, that would suggest my theory is correct.
Also monitor the direct , analog video playback [not the processed, digitized version] on the camera's display during this troublesome spot to verify the tape itself is fine at that point.

Thanks for the tips! I'll have to do more testing to try out the things you suggest.

I'm not sure if the Arcsoft TME software is supported anymore since Hauppauge wrote their own download software. Have you tried the Hauppauge Capture software? I have a lot more success with it. It can be found here:

It not and Showbiz work better any way but even it no longer support
Try this ftp://ftp.hauppauge.com/Support/HDPV.._3.5.41.80.exe it should work on the first ver HD-PVR.

Great! Thanks for the tips on using Hauppauge Capture or ShowBiz 3.5 instead of the old TME program that came with my PVR.
What's the consensus as to which is the better capture software for the model 1212 PVR: Hauppauge Capture or ShowBiz?

I don't like all the hoops I have to jump through with the original HD-PVR 1212 Arcsoft TME software to burn to Bluray blanks having to use a multi-step process and third party programs. Does Showbiz handle this more easily and all in-house? I'm reluctant to use IMGburn anymore because during a recent software upgrade for it I downloaded some sort of malware/virus I had to get rid of so I'm steering clear of that. [I forget the details, perhaps the site got sold off and bought by con artists?]

There not much you can do but go thru all the hoops
I really miss day with Ulead Movie Factory to bad they sold out on us as it could have easy support direct recording from HD-PVR just like with older PVR MPEG-2 model but even then Womble MPEG-VCR was still best Video editor to bad they never move to H.264/AVC editing.
The only other option to and all-in-one package is Cyberlink PowerProducer.
Then there TMPGEnc Authoring Works, Corel Pinnacle/Roxio Creator there all so Nero but it not all in one and I have not tested any of those in years.
IMGburn has no malware/virus but it dose come bundle 3rdparty software namely OpenCandy bundleware so be alert! pay close attention to each screen and uncheck by not accept the license to that carp.

I have a 1212 PVR and prefer Hauppauge Capture to TME, but I have not tried Showbiz, but I will.
'IMGburn has no malware/virus but it dose come bundle 3rdparty software namely OpenCandy bundleware so be alert! pay close attention to each screen and uncheck by not accept the license to that crap.'
I almost always use IMBburn to burn my DVD or Blu Ray or AVCHD discs. I have not seen any problems with the current version 2.5.8.0.

I'm glad I checked this thread, I didn't know Happauge had new Capture software. Has anyone used it to record analog video with digital audio? I have never been able to do that with TME, whenever I try I get huge stuttering for a couple of minutes and then a complete freeze. Very annoying as I have some old laserdiscs I would like to convert to digital.

I'm generally pretty careful about reading the questions before the download, asking if I want to add extra junk and of course I always say 'no'. I guess I may have overlooked it, perhaps, but as I remember it an auto pop up appeared out of nowhere, saying 'Do you wish to upgrade the IMGburn software to the new version?' and there were no further options to unclick third party addons after that. I didn't just rapidly click away and ignore anything, I swear. At least that's how I remember it.
This from their forum from someone who similarly was disappointed:

I know this post will get locked and unanswered but i thought i would give you a chance to explain to me and others that have this issue why we have to deal with malware? I accidently mis-clicked on a next tab which resulted in the Delta Search Bar being installed and now im in the process of removing it and re-adding all my chrome extensions because of this. I also need to do a full malware scan with malwarebytes now because of this which i dont think is fair to your users do you?
So why do you have software that installs malware?
Where did i download from? Oh YOUR site!

I have another question for you PVR owners. I'm trying to capture Hi-8 tabes from a camcorder that only recorded in mono sound. I have a splitter, so I plug one end into the camcorder and then it splits the sound to red and white RCA connectors. However, when I plug those both into my PVR, I get a loud buzzing sound in the audio. If I take one out, and only record to one side, then I don't get that buzzing sound.
I've tried both the front and back set of my PVR's RCA connections, and they both do the same buzzing.
Any idea what causes that buzzing? Is it a defect in my PVR?

Are you dead sure connecting this same RCA stereo cord to your home stereo or TV won't produce the same buzzing/distortion? Try that, and try another cord after that.
Buzzing RCA connections also are sometimes caused by the center pin making full contact but the outer petals, the ground, not making good contact. Be certain your connections are well seated and fully plugged in, on both ends, L and R too, giving a slight twist as you make the connection (helps scrape away oxidation).
Also, the HDPVR has a rather flimsy mounting mechanism straight to the circuit board without any added stress relief , and unfortunately is prone to cracking (breaking). Are you handy with a soldering gun? Take a look inside.

That know as Ground Loop Problem just pick up a ground loop isolator from your local RadioShack or Wal-Mart or Truck Stop even Car Radio Shop should have them.

Just an update to my post above. After trying 3 different capture programs, trying different USB and S-video cables, nothing fixed my problems with trying to copy Hi8 camcorder tapes to my harddrive. They still freeze up and stutter. After trying all other options, I ran across a couple Amazon reviews on the PVR 1212 that said they also had problems trying to convert Hi8 tapes. And one person emailed Hauppauge and a tech emailed back and said:
'. the hd-pvr has know issues when recording from hi8 tapes or vcr the developers tell us that if there are inconsistencies or spikes in the signal it would cause the encoder in the hd-pvr to lock up during recording with no way of fixing it. The hd-pvr was meant more for recording from high definition signals or from dvd players, etc.'
That sounds like that's the problem to me. Just wanted to post this in case any others have this problem.
Anyone know if the newer models of the PVR work better with converting analog, Hi-8 videotapes?

I never had a problem capturing form Hi-8 with the newer model HD-PVR 2 but never capture long hours because my dumb sister law never use it right as she always stop and start the dame thing making a big #$%^ mess out every thing. Here a short clip from HD-PVR 2 http://www.shspvr.com/reviews/hd_pvr..m_composite.ts

It's possible that cleaning up the signal by passing it through a TBC, time base corrector, would remove the 'spikes'. Although there are stand alone versions, some VCRs, both consumer and pro, have time base correctors built-in. Simply connect to said unit's input and then sending the live signal to the HDPVR may act as a filter and correct the problem. Even connecting to certain video swicther devices, such as A/V receivers, and passing through them may even do the trick. Worth trying if you already own such units, I'd say. Good luck.

If that the case he be better off pick up and giving the Hauppauge Colossus a try as it has TBC build-in.
Stand alone TBC's or sync correctors:
AV Toolbox AVT 8710
Lektropack CTB100 (Full TBC)
Lektropack CDM630 (PAL/NTSC converter with TBC)
Lektropack CCR9 (PAL-NTSC converter, removing errors)
Datavideo TBC-1000 (Full TBC, distribution amp)
Datavideo TBC-100 (PCI card, takes only 5 and 12 v from computer)
Video mixers with build-in TBC's:
Panasonic WJ AVE-3 / WJ MX-5 / 7 10 / 12 /20 / 30 /.
Blaupunkt DVM-2000 / 5000 (MX-5 / MX-10)
Videonics MX-1
Edriol V4
And that doesn't take in to count of hand full of HandyCAM or VCR with build-in TBC's which not really cheap even as use model.
Some time you have no option but look in getting a RAW capture device that dose DV or AVI like Canopus ADVC-100, DataVideo DAC-100 just name a few.

I've been testing Windows 10 for a while now and wanted to report problems with Hauppauge Capture on Windows 10. Hauppauge Capture worked well on the previous build of Windows 10, however after the recording had finished, shutting down Hauppauge Capture would crash Windows 10.
On the current download of Windows 10 (Build 9926) Hauppauge Capture will start but will never sync with the video so nothing shows on the Capture screen. It now shuts down without crashing Windows 10 however.

Hello, I'm having slight issues when recording from my VCR to the HD PVR 1212. The issue that I'm having is that the pvr doesn't seem to pickup the video feed when I'm attempting to use the component cables. I get a black screen with no video or audio. Originally I was using the TME software and thought that might be the issue, so I just downloaded the Hauppauge Capture program and still have the same problem. What's interesting and confusing at the same time is that I was able to do this same process about 2 years ago successfully. I recorded my VHS tapes to my computer without any problem, but can't for the life of me remember what I did to get this working. Is there any setting that I should have to changed? I'm using an LG VHS/DVD Recorder combo if that matters. Any help would be appreciated. Thx!

Well for one thing the component outs of your VHS/DVD machine probably only function for DVDs, not VHS.
You select which input the Hauppauge should look for in the software. If all you get is a black screen there can be a few issues. If it senses no sound it won't initialize, also the ins and outs on the back are VERY easily accidentally swapped on this unit, so double check that.] be sure the incoming video signal is active and flowing, not in pause mode. If still no joy hit the refresh button {I'm using the original software}and wait for 20 seconds to see if it 'catches'. The boot sequence and timing seems particular with my setup: I get the software up and running but one click away from engaging the 'record' page, then connect the USB, then immediately click on the 'I want to go to the record page button' even before the machine seems to have established its connection. Be sure you are running the latest software of course and if I recall correctly the machine itself has newer drivers and/or firmware itself which is independent of the Arcsoft software updates. Good luck.

UGH, so I went to record something today, and my HD PVR (1212) wont turn on.
I'm not sure if its the power adapter or the box. I'll have to see if the universal power adapter I purchased for our exersise bike (with different tips and a voltage selector) will work.
IF its the box itself, is it worth picking up a New/Used 1212 on Amazon, ebay or such, or should I just get a NEWER model, like the Gaming Edition Plus (1504 which might come with component cable???), or HD PVR 2 (1512 which appears to come with component cable)?
My setup is.. component/spdif(optical audio) out of cable box, into the 1212, which is usb connected to my laptop running the TMT3 that came with my 1212, capturing 1080i with 5.1 audio (optical), saving as .M2TS files.

From the dark ages of rctvcap and rcgraphbuilder. My HTPC bit the dust in a major way a month ago. Its resurrection seemed a difficult task so I opted for the DVR option from DirecTV. While impressed with its capabilities I need to get the HTPC back up and running. I use rctvcap to record off two DTV boxes. To get rctvcap to run in the past I used rcgraphbuilder.
Now when I run rcgraphbuilder I get the dreaded 'can't find filter: File Dump'. Having grown a bit older since the early 2000 I can't remember how to get around this problem.
Somebody out there remember????
Please and thank you.

Please allow me to share with you the following observations and conclusions: capture freeze problems with the C1 version were caused by overheating of some units; a fan was added in the C2 version which solved this problem; video glitches are still being reported with the C2 version; the glitches are described as image jitter/warping plus flashes and a coloured horizontal line at the bottom of the screen..Driver v1.1(dated Oct10 2008) provides support for 5.1 audio.

That's not my recollection. What I read was a post from somebody quoting tech support saying they were expecting to receive 5.1 drivers this week. That's very different than saying they would be available for the rest of us to download this week. I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them a few (if they pass QA the first time), or even several (if they fail QA and have to go back to engineering for another spin), weeks to release them.

Well, I unchecked Output Enable and couldn't tell that it affected anything, it wouldn't/won't let me uncheck VCR Input, it acts like it unchecks it, but then it just puts the check back in. So, now I've tried it and have no idea what or if it does anything. Dunno.

I saw Dish Network's 'Turbo HD' commercial touting 1080p, and I wondered if anyone's tried recording 1080p with the HD-PVR? Does it produce watchable 1080i results?
Now that my cable STB's firewire is essentially all 5c'ed and useless, I have no particular incentive to stay with them. I would consider switching to another service, although I'm not certain other services' HD looks comparable to cable..

The SageTV forums report a bug with the HD PVR when capturing 720p material. It manifests itself by a video stutter every five seconds when viewed with one of their HD extenders.
The problem is apparently with the encoding mechanism and can be eliminated with a future firmware update for the HD PVR.

I tried using ArcSoft Media Converter to translate a 5.3G 1080i movie capture from TS to MP4(Sony/PS3 Option). The process froze after several hours with only 35% done. I had to reboot to get rid of the ArcSoft dialog window.

Is this limited to 720P, I couldn't really tell from reading the thread if it was only happening to 720P caps or not?

I have been following this on the Sage forums. Oddly enough some people have stutter problems with 720p only, while others have the same problem with 1080i only. I guess I am blessed because playback is fine for me at 720p or 1080i.
I have hardware acceleration enabled in the Arcsoft app even though I dont use it for recording or playback. Within Sage I have 3d acceleration turned on and am using overlay instead of VMR9. Cpu usage is around 6 to 8 % during playback so I am pretty sure that hardware acceleration is working.

Using Hauppauge's MP4 converter, I did a test on a short capture TS file. I got the video, but lost the sound in Total Media Theater and PowerDVD7. There is video and sound playing the file with Media Player Classic, but more video glitches.

i also got no sound trying to playback on my pc but using my 360 video and audio was fine. if u want to playback on your pc i suggest just using the original .ts file. the best results i've gotten is making avchd disks for my Blu-ray player but since i don't have a BR burner i'm limited to what i can put to disk.

No luck on 360HDVD and PS3. I would be quite happy to play the original TS files on my PC, but they have video glitches. I have yet to try AVCHD.

I just connected everything up and my ArcSoft capture device is crashing when I hit Capture on the main menu. Any ideas?
I've got my cable box component out to component in on the HP and USB to pc; everything powered up.
Just tried on my IBM Thinkpad T61 and no issues.
Quick question: would the quality of the capture itself be better on my desktop? I just recorded a bit of Cops (FOX HD) hooked up to my T61 laptop it looks (and sounds) quite good. The vid card in my T61 is some nvidia quadra series. My desktop has an 8800gtx.
Because right now it's looking like im either gong to have to record to my laptop, then transfer to desktop, or possibly do a clean install of windows on my desktop (im having some other issues i cant get rid of either).
Thanks.

Open Arcsoft, click on the play video button, click on setup, click on the video tab, check the box for hardware acceleration, done.
You need to have a video card that supports H264 video acceleration for this to work.

Also, what's up with the Hauppauge MP4 convertor? I used it but my PS3 says data is corrupted. Quicktime can't open either, only VLC player.
The arcsoft one seems to work but doesn't perform as well as the Hauppage mp4 (seems smoother on the Hauppauge file).

Here are some of my experiences with the unit. I received a C2 unit on July 22nd. Installation was a breeze, and everything worked perfectly. I just built a new computer at the beginning of July - Asus P5K Deluxe, E8400 processor, 4GB Ram, EVGA 512MB 8600 GTS, XP Pro.
Capturing with the bundled software uses 1% CPU. I can surf the web, watch previous clips, edit with H264ts cutter, or work with other non-intensive programs while capturing with no problems. (Haven't tried any high CPU programs while capturing) Playback using Media Player Classic (with CoreAVC installed) results in about 30% CPU average. Sometimes both cores are equal, sometimes one is at about 50%, and the other is at about 20% For some reason HW acceleration is not working with MPC. Watching a clip using the bundled Total Media Theater uses full HW Acceleration and results in about 4% CPU in both cores.
I burn the files to a 4.7 GB AVCHD disk using the bundled software. I play the disks on my PS3. This process is rather quick. Time to process and burn a full 4.7 GB disk is 12 minutes.
60 min of 720p material at constant bit rate:
9.0 average, 13.5 peak - 4,140,217 KB
13.5 average, 20.2 peak - 6,216,367 KB
60 min of 1080i material at constant bit rate:
9.0 average 13.5 peak = 4,274,207 KB

Hd Pvr 2 Software

12.0 average 18.0 peak = 5,539,267 KB
13.5 average 20.2 peak = 6,215,804 KB
I have discovered a couple of quirks. Sometimes while capturing, the preview window will lock up. The timer will continue to count, and capturing does continue without any glitching. When I hit the Stop button, it does stop capturing, but I have to use the task manager to end the CaptureModule.exe. (program listed as not responding in task manager) I thought it might have been the screen saver kicking in while left unattended, but even with the screen saver and all power saving options disabled, it still does this. It is less likely to happen when I am using the computer while capturing. For example, while typing up this post for the past hour, the capture window is still working. However, sometimes it will still lock up even when using the computer. Not a deal breaker to me since the resulting files are perfectly fine.
When editing down a 1080i capture using H.264 ts cutter, I ran into some problems on playback with the PS3. The first segment would play back fine, but once it would get to where a cut point was, the playback would start to stutter. The audio would continue on as normal, but the video was like a slideshow. The file would play back perfectly fine on the computer. I found that 720p didn't have this problem, so I have my STB set to 720p only as a workaround.
The analog audio inputs are still reversed.
Now on to the fan/heatsink issues.

My final solution was to cut a 3-inch diameter hole in the top, mount a 12V fan on, and drill a row of 9 3/8-inch holes on each side for exhaust. The fan is powered by a cheap 12V Radio Shack adapter.
No artifacts! And I'll sleep easier knowing that my chips are nice and cool.
Now I need to write a nice TS editing tool.

My unit is very different than these posts say. I have a C2 unit. It does have the 4 blue bling lights, and I could hear a fan running. I finally got around to opening it up this afternoon. Upon opening it up, the location of the fan is almost useless. The suction side of the fan is right up against the wall of the case, so it cannot suck any air in. It also makes it noiser than open-air running. The bling lights only light up when capturing, and they do respond to the 'Disable bling lights' in the menu. The big difference in my unit is the fan behavior. It runs any time the capture window is open - when previewing and when capturing. It also is not affected by the 'Disable bling lights' menu setting. Unfortunately when the capture window is closed the fan doesn't run. It appears that the encoding chip is still doing something when just in passthru since the temperature is higher than when capturing.
I will either cut a hole in the case by the fan, or move the fan closer to the heatsink.

Here are some temperature readings I took of the heatsink - all with the fan on the side.
Preview 2 hrs, cover off - 115 degrees
Preview 1 hr, cover on - 140 degrees - general temperature inside case is 105 degrees
Capture 1 hr, cover on - 141 degrees - general temperature inside case is 105 degrees
Passthru 1 hr, cover on (no fan running) - 151 degrees - general temperature inside case is 110 degrees
After these tests, I tilted the fan down at about a 45 degree angle in its original location. This blew air across the PC board hitting the heatsink. After 1 hr of preview, cover on - 125 degrees - general temperature inside case is 100 degrees

Here's a picture of the inside of the unit - the black pin header just to the lower left of the heatsink is where the bling lights plug in.

I'll update some of the temperature readings as I try different things.
