mainconcept PVR = trash

[SatStorm]

Finally I manage to make it work...

Very buggy.

When you manage to make it work (very difficult task) and you manage to set it up (even more difficult task), then the picture quality is about the same as mainconcept 1.4.2 realtime capture fuction.
In other words, it is excellent.

And here ends the positive parts.

The downsides of this program are many:
This program released untested, buggy and earlier for some reason. Also mainconcept don't target at all to the NTSC users, probably because there the compatition is big at that market... It focus mostly on PAL, so keep that in mind.
It is the opposite situation of TMPGenc: They do NTSC and then add support to PAL. Mainconcept do anything to PAL and then add support to NTSC

It is to early to have an opinion about this product. I can blame them only because they release it so early. They just hurt their good reputation that way. The one took that desicion must be fired at once!

But I can see the program's portion here... It's gonna be good one day. So, if you are in the PAL Land, keep an eye on it.

Exactly... until they iron it out NTSC stay away...

I completely agree with the sumation that it shouldn't have been released!

[SatStorm]

No, the correct is : If you are NTSC stay away.

If you are PAL (like me), keep an eye on it

BTW: I don't believe mainconcept gonna make something good for NTSC ever. They choose to stay away from the US / Japanish market, and I can't blame them!

Japanish

"Japanese" ... just a friendly spell-check, I know English isn't your native.
