I recently upgraded to Windows 7, while still using an older FusionHDTV3 card (Fusion 3 Gold), which had worked with no problems on both XP and Vista. Ive had some very strange issues recording QAM channels since upgrading to 7. First, the video seems to be constanly adjusting brightness and/or black level...you can see the brightness level change in incremental steps, usually to levels much too dark to be what was intended. Based on what I know about digital signals, this shouldnt be a problem...you should either get the correct picture or you dont get any picture. Ive tried playing recordings in several programs, and they all seem to suffer from this.
The even weirder problem...I captured a football game a few weeks ago...I captured the entire game, but when I looked at my file later, the beginning of the file had video from the fourth quarter! Later in the video, it went back to the third quarter...how is this even possible (the first half wasnt available, either)? I did the same a week later, and even though everything was in the right order this time, I hit record about 1130am, and where the video starts is probably at around 1pm. The only thing I can think of thats causing these problems is an compatibility issue...my drivers are updated for everything, so Im guessing my card is just too old, but I havent seen any information that lets me know its incompatible for sure. I will probably try a dual boot with XP and see if that gets it working, but Id really like to get this to work in Windows 7 and hopefully 7MC, if anyone can help.
