MSI TV anywhere plus capturing problem

I just installed MSI TV anywhere plus card, location Canada NTSC-M to copy VHS tapes and burn onto DVD's. I can see and hear the VHS tape running on the computer now, but when I click 'capture' I get 'internal encoder error' and then the program gets hung up and I can't do anything. I am unable to end program, it won't respond. I can't shut down or restart, I must unplug computer. My error report is szappname - MSITVR.exe, szappver - 2.0.2.2, szmodname - hungapp, szmodver offset - all zeros. Please help!
I hope this is all the computer info you need!!

Did some more checking. I go from vcr to computer on the rca cables, then I use composite with yuy2 input and avi capture. The program still gets hung up and anything that I capture I am unable to open with either the TV plus program or Windows Media. If I try to capture in mpeg format I get the internal encoder error. Either way as soon as I hit capture, I can see it's recording and its saving data but the program freezes. I can hit 'stop' but its completely hung up.
I have the latest drivers downloaded for TV plus. Got any ideas??

MSI TV@Anywhere PLUS remote control shut down problem

Hi!
I have a MSI TV@Anywhere PLUS card working fine. I use the remote control without problem. Except that, when i want to shut down my PC with it. I push "POWER", the app closes, and after that i push "RESET" and I get this: "Press "Power" to shut down your computer, or any other key to cancel" . But whatever I try to push on the remote, nothing happens...but by the mouse, the OK or Cancel buttons work.
Can somebody help , what is going on?
thanks much!

Hi All,
I solved my problem with some trying, this msi remote is really funny....
Okey, so It appears that, when the above mentioned "shut down or cancel" window comes up pushing the "RESET" on my remote, the remote app. stops receiving commands/stops working. If i close this window, I am able to use again my remote controller. phhhh....
All right, lets use the built-in mouse/pointer controller to click (5) on OK in the window, when it is asking for shut down... NOT working either, because as i mentioned above, when the window appears, the remote stops working... jejeje :D
So, I made a shutdown.exe command icon on the desktop, and I can click on it with my remote...solved...
(the remote controller cannot navigate the cursor above the windows taskbar i do not no why..., besides this, it is ridiculous how difficult to move the cursor with he controller, pushing like crazy :D )

MSI X79 GD45 Plus Reboot Problem

Hi guys, I am having problems with my MSI X79 GD45 Plus motherboard. Everytime I restart my pc from windows, my motherboard or pc goes off and on again. Unlike the normal restart wherein it just well..restarts.. without going off.
I've tried to switch the ram positions, and yes I've tested all positions, still doesn't work.
I've also updated my bios. Still doesn't fix the problem.
Help me please

Read the posting guide and list the components. >>Posting Guide<<

MSI TV@Anywhere Plus NO SOUND!!

Hi guys,
I have a problem, I have setup my card (PCI) and installed all the drivers. I have perfect picture quality but no sound, the way my system is setup is i plug my speakers into my base unit and from the base unit i have a 3.5mm jack cable going from there into my computer. Its a green colored lead which slots into my the line in on my sound card. (the green hole)
My audio device is Realtek AC97, there is nothing wrong with the way i have my audio setup becuase i can here sound from other programs like WMP and itunes.
When tunning in my TV card in i have selected Line In for the TV live sound option but nothing is happening NO SOUND!!
What do i have to do to get this working?
Please help
Cheers guys
Ben

XSI,
i see you have read the sticky topic already, so i presume you have already connected the 3.5mm jack plug from the multi-AV lead on the TV@nywhere Plus to the Line-In on your motherboard's audio jacks
now, maybe you will tell us what motherboard you have, because when i had my MSI K8N Neo Platinum, for some reason, the Line-In jack was linked to the Aux channel in the Realtek/Nvidia audio control panel, instead of the Line_in channel...

MSI Radeon RX9800PRO Plus BIOS Problem?

I have the card listed above. When i try to use Live Update 3, under VGA card info it does not detect the card i have. It says this...
MSI Live VGA DriverTM Version: 3.58.000
VGA Card Information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name UNKNOWN
VGA Card BIOS Vendor ATI
VGA Card BIOS Version UNKNOWN
VGA Card Driver Version 6430
Because it cannot detect the Model name and BIOS version Live Update always just says everything is ok and up to date. But i know its not cause i had to manually go to msi site and get latest card drivers. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that i flashed the BIOS before then back, and if so i was wondering if anyone has the original factory BIOS for this card.

Since this is an MSI video card I am going to move this post to the VGA forum where all the experts hang out.

MSI TV@Anywhere PLUS and Windows 7

I installed Windows 7 (build 7600) and I try to install drivers and PVR for this TV Tuner. Everything was working just fine.
Than I was scaning for channels and in the backgound I saw picture and sound of programs. So when it scan all chanells I click OK and than nothing.
Channels are in, sound is working but there are no PICTURE of a channel. It is all grey.
System:
cpu: E6600
MB: Foxconn MARS
RAM: 4x1GB DDR2 800
GPU: HD 4770 (CCC 9.6)
OS: Windows 7 b7600 x86

Something I found and so simple it's disgusting, right click on the black screen and open the 'Setup' window and click on the 'Video' tab and change the settings, click OK at the bottom when done. This is after simply installing the Vista drivers from MSI and doing nothing else.
Brightness = 110
Contrast = 59
Hue = 0
Saturation = 59
Sharpness = 0
Here's a picture of what settings I'm referring to.
Fine tune adjustments to suit your monitor and eyeballs!
I have started and stopped TV@+ several times and it's still working just fine after setting as above.
Edit: I did install the codecs yesterday in Svet's 'Reply #10' above just in case, I remember needing to do such a thing when I 1st got the card a few years ago.

READ this: MSI TV @nywhere Plus + Dscaler

My Pinnacle pctv pro has gone ( I suspect overheating).
Used Dscaler for tv (ecxelent picture, ultra fast channel switchig) and VDub for recording (Huffyuv lossless codec).
It was super card. On differnt forums I read:this card is good, this card is peace of ....., but I think that every card is good as long it has good software.
Dscaler pulls maximum of the card out. For me is one of the best programs ewer written. :biggthumbsup:for the author !!
So I decided to buy something cheap. I bought MSI TV @nywhere Plus about 4 monthes ago.
Installation go smooth, MSI TVR works without problems, but TV picture was, like I ecxpected, not even close Dscalers.
After many ours, managed to work it with Dscaler 4.1.15.
Settings: Card Asus 7131D
Tuner Philips TDA8275
For each channel choose right Format ( for me Pal-B) and frequency.
Picture is on channels with good reception like watching DVD, but channel switch is a little bit slow ( the card is not directly supported).
Note - Dscaler is just for watching, for recording is original Msi Tvr more than good.
I had problem to use Dscaler and Msi tvr together ( Msi tvr reports error - list index out of bounds), but i solved it -
send shortcut C:\Program Files\MSI\TV@Anywhere Plus\TVR\MSITVR.exe to desktop and run it from there.
Remember - dont ecxpect miracles with MSI TV @nywhere Plus but for this money ( 3 x cheaper then was my pctv pro), must say that MSI TV @nywhere Plus is ecxellent card.
Hope, that I helped anyone with this.

glad you're enjoying it! i don't use my TV@nywhere Plus much, apart from to use it to play my Nintendo GameCube, but i think its an all round better solution than the TV@nywhere Master it replaced (as well as being much cheaper too). however, once you go down the Digital TV route, you'll never go back to analogue TV again

You mean 'RCA' (phono) cables?
What software are you using? Have you set capture settings correctly? (should be composite-in)
That correct RCA cable, I'm using TV@Anywhere Plus software, it has 6 icons and red for a background. I can't find the capture settings. My options are Convert DC to AVI, FM, Watch and Record TV Programs, Edit MPG/DVD files, Burn to DVD, Video (which only ask for video source and sound source), Photo. I try to choose the camcorder but I don't see it in the system. It's hook up via RCA cables so I don't know.

MSI X79A-GD45 Plus Odd USB problems...

I'm having some odd issues with my MSI X79A-GD45 Plus... The system overall works well, and other than these little nagging annoyances the machine works.
I'm looking for any other suggestions you all might have of this issue.
Every so often when I plug a device into the USB 3.0 ports the devices are not recognized. This ranges from flash drives to USB headsets. Rebooting the machine does not solve this. I have to shut down completely and cold boot to get the ports back up and running. It matters not if I use the front panel ports or the rear. All the while my keyboard and mouse which are in the rear USB 2.0 ports never fail to work.
I am going to plug the front panel into the USB 2.0 headers on the mainboard just to test and see if I get the same results, I'm thinking that should tell me weather or not the motherboard or the front panel is the culprit.
That aside any other suggestions would be very much appreciated.
One other thing and I am not sure if this is related to my issue... Most of the time when I boot the machine, the text for the POST messages are very large, like real zoomed in. If I go to the BIOS when this happens the BIOS is also way zoomed in and it is very slow/unresponsive. If I want to use the BIOS I have to restart the machine until I get the text normal looking, even then the BIOS seems kind of slow compared to my last MSI board (990FXA-GD80) which had this same type of click BIOS. This phenomena happened both with the BIOS the board came with and with the updated BIOS I installed to fix a sound issue.
Again not sure if that has anything to do with the USB thing but I wanted to put that here just in case the issues are related.

What MSI should do to fix MSI TV Anywhere Master !

able Of Content for below email:
1) context
2) essentials on how-to definitively fix MSI TV Anyhwere Master while natively recovering your customers long-term trusting in MSI logo.
- - - - - -DETAILS:
1) My neighbors have recently bought 2 pieces MSI - TV Anywhere Master tuner cards by following my latest advices.
They both are students engaged by few media tasks in our campus to provide internal training by video samples and news broadcasts in local areas.
One of them told me his intention to even start some anti-MSI virtual campaigns through world-wide forums against your product as a reasoned revenge for huge effort with no results during lot of time-loossing trials to setup, stabilize and properly use your MSI proprietary software and drivers (MSIPVS-WinDVR) delivered by with this product's original package.
Now they claim as many others found on alike forums, all money back and tens hours stress compensations from proximate shopping center cause these MSI tuner cards not working as they thought while comparing MSI product with other's alike. It seems that MSI duped its long-term customers.
They tested on both licensed and updated Windows 98 SE and latest Windows XP Pro (latest service packs included) but received undesirable results that we will compact them as below to suggest you what and how to fix it.
2) Best ways to fix it :
I. redesign all its drivers to include that MSI "secret" proprietary strings-keys requested to keep full activated your TV Anywhere Master card (CX23881-19 chipset) anytime for any other tuner/capture application (other 3rd party software like ChrisTV Pro, DScaler, PowerVCR, Virtual VCR /freeware!!!)
Currently, all these better featured applications can setup and recognize most of your competitors alike cards (based on new 10-bit CX2388x chipset) but not yours MSI Anywhere !
It is worst way to freeze by default your customers expectations and usage development!
So, unlock your card by new drivers really compatible with Microsoft OSs so, nobody will complain anymore against MSI hurried & unfinished or less-featured products due to any software related issues!
Remind that you are one of greatest HARDWARE producer not SOFTWARE, so, better provide what you are to provide! Let others much more trained for software purposes to do it and to compete among themselves while getting much more freely alternatives to promote your cards to an wider range of users with different skills and interests.
II. redesign MSIPVS-WinDVR's setup panel to recognize and include any codec previously installed in the system during its launching, like your competitors' above software already done it successfully ! Mostly focus on DivX for video and MP3 for sound and alike codecs which are mostly used and available today everywhere (>70%!) both licensed and freeware releases, comparing with those obsolete MPEG files! There is no need to train yourself by own software cause you better ask people like Chris(TV Pro) to do it for you much better and cheaper! Forgot about MPEG2 and MPEG4(yours!) cause are for nothing ! Your MPEG4 not works on others PCs while MPEG2 is no use for most customers due to large resources requirement with even lower performances than an very well-settled DivX, which needs ten times lower space!!
Go DivX 5x and MP3 for any software based encoding purposes is the only target for your recording settings panel!
Also for Win Producer /Win Coder which can not not administer DivX and MP3 correctly. (ask VirtualDub to replace it cause it is working infinitely better!)
III. channel settings and scanning must be also redesigned to get more stable and transparent to the user: add a new column with its channel frequency and a real working stable control to FINE tuning and SAVE.
Finally, BEST is to setup a dedicated text file to save and launch all configurations within. Anytime when push APPLY or SAVE, to write something in that file and then to read from there instead of use usually unstable system registry dynamic records. In the same way, customer who want to fix something or really save their settings to preserve your cards and applications for unexpected failures, development etc, will be able to adjust on his own risk some settings which were not correctly settled by the application etc.
This is to provide much more reliability to this card usage and to compensate potential bugs in future releases.
IV. Provide an interface like above (III) to the enduser who mostly demands to reconfigure remote control unit which is now too poor and not include essential controls like start/stop recording etc. All remote controls to be written in a text file at also enduser disposal to modify shortcuts in order to reallocate remote control buttons to another panel controls etc.
V. MSI-Radio tuner must have channel name (retrieved from FM table settings) displayed under the frequency and much more selectivity and real correct scanner (not use that "less stations" control). It could be very demanded a wider range scanning from 30 MHz up to 110 MHz for many other locations.
Both for TV channels (see MSI-PVS to provide full tuning all frequencies including manually settings each channel!)
If it is hard to do it for Windows 98 release, provide them for XP at least but inside a better structured website than now. In the present there are still many confusings and no stable procedure (that provided on the original CD has lot of bugs and missings risking to freeze the system!) regarding from where to download updates (too many different addresses to discover inside MSI-support site). MSI TV Anywhere Master must have its own unique sub-site with all updates downloads included in the same page, both for drivers and for applications! Also is a must to include WDM MS-8606 drivers instead of current ones to not receive anymore that error "nVIDIA WDM universal Capture" not found.
Please email me and my neighbor marcellino
([email protected]) when demands described above will get fixed !
Thank you in advance and wishing MSI good lock for better results!
Regards,
TekSam & marcellino

Exactly my thoughts.
Probably they're even too affraid to give us some answers about how, what and where.
I had a previous descussion about an MSI mb that wouldn't accept a 40GB Maxtor hd. My asus mb didn't have a problem with detecting it.
Their reply was to flash to the latest bios version, which I already wrote that I did that in my e-mail to them.
A friend of mine had the same MSI mb, guess what??? same problem. His Dell pc, no problem.
Wrote back to MSI, waiting for 3 years now , never received an e-mail. (wrote a couple of reminders).
I now bought this tv nowhere card and I have the same problem as many people have.... alot of sh*t .... and not working. No refund, 0 support, users must help other users to solve certain issues, ---> 10 clean versions of winXP and hours and hours of stress
This will be the last MSI product that I will EVER buy.

TV@nywhere Plus FM problem

I guys,
I have no problem using the TV tuner, image is ok, sound is ok, record is ok... but if I choose FM, I will get the interface but cant ear anything?
When you read the spec for the card, beside FM tuner you will see a (option)... How do I know if it is not an option on my card???
Thanks
Al

Ok, I do got static, my speaker sound was to low. I do ear static now, I uninstalled the driver and reboot my pc, then reinstall driver + reboot but same problem, just static.
I'm running Vista Ultimate Genuine (all updates done) over a MSI K7T266 Pro with 1.4G AMD Athlon, 1024MB, Sound Blaster Live 5.1, and of course TV@anywhere Plus card with latest Vista Driver and Vista Sofware.
Thanks

TV@anywhere master huge problem

I have the TV@anywhere master and when i am changing the channel ( after a few times) the comp friezes

Just to make sure I understand. It is your computer that freezes, not the TV tuner program. And you have the problem in at least one TV tuner program other than MSIPVS. PowerVCR is also freezing. Again it is not your computer that is freezing but the TV tuner programs.
You did not answer the question: did you install the CD software or did you install the software from the MSI site?
If you did install the software from the MSI site and the tuner programs are freezing, check if the TV tuner drivers (MSI 8606 Video/Audio Capture) are sharing an IRQ with another major component (example video / audio card, ignore USB controllers). In Windows you can do this using the MSInfo32.exe program. If the IRQ of the tuner driver is shared, move the TV Tuner to another PCI slot.
If you did not install the software from the MSI site, download the MS-8606 files and install them.

MSI TV @nywhere Plus - Scheduled Recording not working

I just installed TV Anywhere Plus on my new Windows 7 PC, and everything works fine, except for the "Scheduled Recording" button. Has anybody experienced that before? What could be the problem?

Quote from: blazing storm on 07-February-10, 04:51:17
What exactly happens when you click the button?
Do you have the latest drivers installed for your card?
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=616
The problem was that when I click the button nothing happened. But now it does.
I installed the driver as on the website you gave me.
Seems that [probloem is solved with that.

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.
