Using WinXP x64 and sapphire 550 threatrix pro

[mattyboy]

Ive installed the drivers for x64 fine but the software that comes with the card, its powercinema from cyberlink, tells me it wont install; only for winxp (x32).
Anyone get around this? Ibelieve Ive read somewhere , (of course i cant find where) that people are using it.
BTW I tried using a free app called gbpvr and it does seem to work as good as the ATI software I had a few years ago for a diff. card.
Thanks

powercinema is crap
stay with gbpvr but I'm not sure if gbvr supports hardware encoding. BeyondTV4 does.

the new MMC 9.13 will also work at 32bit (maybe 64bit) but is full of bugs.

gbpvr supports the theater 550 chipsets hardware encoding as well as the hauppage line. I've been using it for a long time and haven't found anything better.

good info to know

What error message are you getting? If you havent done so, try installing it to c:\progra~2\cyberlink\powercinema, not c:\program files (x86)\cyberlink\powercinema. My copy of Adobe CS2 had a generic message when trying to install until I changed that. According to Microsoft, there's no reason a Win32 application shouldn't install and work on an x64 box. Just in case you want to try to install it again.

thanks.

And I cant get gbpvr to do the "EPG" set up right it just wont do it,. Im in Canada so its set to XMLTV, but at the same time it says that its setting up please wait, sorta message, it says that setting is wrong. I dont know, I dont think that its really doing anything.
