Does ANY program see Hauppauge Nova-T USB as capture device?

[clefmusic]

I can't find any program that will edit the MPEG2 files generated by this card (which won't produce a file larger than 2GB, despite an alleged registry hack on the Hauppauge site). I have tried every MPEG editor available with exactly the same results - either the file is not recognized as valid, or there are audiosync problems.

So, is there any program that will recognize this USB device so that I can capture to AVI, edit, then encode to mpeg2? I have tried:

Pinnacle Studio
Premiere 6.5
Videowave 5

Thanks!

hi
there is one, Nero - but does an all in one burn from almost anything to the mpeg required for VCD. so there's no intermediate avi, if that's what you're after

Hello

Many thanks for that info. Yes, it's the AVI I need!

Best wishes

A bit late but maybe still useful:

I use a card (not USB) and mine may be a little later than yours.
You can set cap size to somewhere around 4.444G (I can, anyway)
Womble MPEG-VCR 3.14 does an excellent job cutting and joining and does read the Hauppauge version of MPEG. Having standardized the MPEG, you can use a MPEG-AVI converter.

I wish there was a half decent program for the Nova-T though. The Hauppauge software is REALLY bad.

Maybe the files can be fixed with PVAStrumento?

I had the card too (rather than the USB), and I can certainly agree with one thing:

The Hauppauge software is REALLY bad.

I found it produced completely non-compliant MPEG streams, and even worse it kept dropping the audio during capture every time the stream changed a little (i.e. during advert breaks etc..) and never recovering it again.

It wasn't even very good for watching tele, let alone capturing.

But... then we got burgled; so it's someone else's problem now

I never found anything that could capture from the card except the bundled software.

I don't know if the USB Nova-T is the same, but the PCI card I had was installed in the device manager as a network interface - which meant it had problems with firewalls etc.. too.

Maybe this is one of the reasons absolutely nothing else could use it as a capture source.

Sorry - not much help!
