My godness , this is bad luck , i could'nt make ATI MMC to work with this card, i even downloaded the old ones ans none works,
it gives me an error that check for driver installation and if properly installed, what gives?
this cannot happen to me, the ati catalyst multimedia center seem to work ok but slowish, well, hope i can find a way to make it work, it will take some time, any other capture software that allow you to change setting and the like? thanks edDV for your help. -
This is the only suggestion I have. Are you using Vista by any chance? Many many people have bitterly complained here that various capture cards don't work at all in Vista. ATI is very slow to fix problems, which is why I stopped using their cards years ago, so if they don't have Vista drivers ready, you'll probably have to wait a while.

Get into the release notes for MMC to see all the prereqs. Must have DAO WDM and all that stuff. To get the GemStar Guide you need that file on an ATI supplied install CD.

As to now i am going to install MMC 9.9 and yes i have 9-14_mmc_uci , WDM 6.14.10.232 and no i dont have the decoder for DVD, i read somewher that this card dont like too much Intel based prosessors, i had AMD but i got my new rig althogether.
Now lets see if i can make to work this card at last, problems is that it tells me that cannot initializate the capture card and to check for proper driver, well more suggestion thanks a lot
PS GB-PVR ?
well yes i tried that too, but i cant fine the way to tell theprogy what capture card i have, and actually i dont want a PVR to watch tv but a svideo or comp... capture video -
Ok the above combo worked, now i have my card working but still the program has a lot of bugs, sound is distorted and i cant find the way to lower the volume of the reconding, pictures looks great for my liking, but now need to find how to make work better, now if i want to make my own preset like 352x480 and contant of 6000 kbps the preset get saved as 352*240 and contant of 2000 weird buggy software but way better than the other crap, any registry tweak floating around here? for audio .
Thank again people.
update
i had installed driver that came with CD installation 6.14.10.173 and the sound is good now, it records fine and i can watch tv and capture high video just fine, just wanted to tell every one that use this capture card.... more updates later nites everyone -
Sorry for the late reply.
In the config utility, you have to add a new capture source and select:
- Recording source -> Direct recording plugin
And then, click on the settings button to select
- Capture card type -> ATi theatre 550 pro
Choose your country, select capture device #1, the source depends on what input you want (internal tuner, composite or s-video), and then click ok.
Then you have to add the channels.
That should work.
