Mpeg Decoder set up

#1
Hi,

I have just found this great software and installed the standard v5. It installs with the Elecard evaluation decoder which works great but I want to use my Cyberlink mpeg2 decoder that I have on my system. I'm not sure if I am doing this correctly but I am doing the following:

Settings \ Options \ Direct Show

I check the Custom Mode for Graph Creating and can select the Cyberlink decoder under Video however when I select this and click OK I get 'Create filter error (Video decoder)'.

What am I doing wrong or have I missed something?

Thanks for the quick response - I think I know what I did. After changing to the Cyberlink Decoder, I unchecked the box before clicking OK. That seems to be what I was missing.

I have one other issue - when I record, it seems to record fine - I did a test of about 2 mins 30 secs and it saved an mpeg2 file of about 64mb. When I play this back, it seems to skip through and only for for a couple of seconds and then stop. I tried another recording test and it did the same. I have tried recording with a different application and it works fine.
Any idea why the recording is broken up like this? During the recording, the received signal was perfect.
