New FusionHDTV Software - Page 51

I'm getting similar result with a fusion 7gold (winxp sp2 32bit). After many, many test, change pci slot, desinstall and reianstall using ''KAXKID procedure'' (with almost all versions 3.64 and upgrades posted on dvico ftp down/directory), directx 9.0c, then 9.0b, the access violation always appear each time the program is starting and when triing to get the config menu by icon (right clic on screen does'nt works because a ''menu index error''). However, ok digital and analog channel change (no access violation) until the program freeze by itself after a couple of hours (or less)....
The program have to be kill, CTRL-ALT-DEL each time and can be restart for about 2 times before the pc must be rebooted....

- a9250 video card with old ati driver (tested somes versions between 5.6
to 6.4 without better result)
- First installed on winxp sp1, same result but no digital video, then upgrade
to sp2, and video is good but same access violation error
-winxp run on adminitrator session
-sometime ntdll error when channel change
-sometime .netbroadcast error while windows is closing
-after 3.80 and 3.80beta1, back to 3.68, and now triing 3.68.96...

.......so much time !!! Need help too !

FusionHDTV under WinXP is a pretty well-known quantity. The variety of problems that you cite makes me think that you may have some bad or incompatible hw in the PC or the Fusion card is itself bad. Can you try the card in a different PC?

Really sad...No other pc at the moment
This pc pc was great in the past with dvb-s card and any software that was used....This card was removed to avoid any conflit.

Any more accurate hardware change before to change the PC. Video or mother board card incompatible? or RAM ?

In other hand, I'm searching how I got it working last week with tsreeader with source ''automnwave_GT_QAM.dll''? There is a specific .dll source for fusion soft with tsreader? it would be great! Most of the time, with ''automnwave_GT_QAM.dll'' tsreader is loosing sync and is counting errors...

I have been running 3.68.04 on MCE2005 SP3 since shortly after it came out. I had the same access violation error problem and I can't remember for sure but I think that after many uninstall/reinstalls I did the "Uninstall MCE MPEG2 DECODER" from the Divico Start Programs menu even though I thought I had never installed it in the first place. This was the answer to one of many problems I have had in the past with upgrade install. I dread more then any other software an update of Fusion. BTW I have the Fusion5 PCIe Express.

Greetings Robert,

I have been using the FusionHDTV (several models) on XP, Vista X64, and now Win7 X64. There have always been some minor gotchas on the install which makes it kinda tricky to get it going. But once it is installed correctly it seems to be rock solid; that's been my experience.

I have had the same Access Violation problem yiou describe, and here is one repair procedure you might try, that has worked for me.

The Release .EXE file is actually a self-extracting archive. I use WinRAR to extract the contents to a folder. Then I go into Control Panel [System] [Device Mgr] and access the Dvico driver and select the Driver Update function. Then I navigate to the folder where I extracted the release package and enter the Driver folder. From there it should also access any sub-directories and find the correct driver to be updated. You are essentially over writing what ever driver is currently installed and updating the registry. The assumption is that during your original install the Dvico procedure did not do a proper fixup on the driver, or possibly just left the old driver in place.

It is worth a try for any similar post-install problems. Good Luck.

Maybe someone can help me on an aggravation that probably doesn't belong in this thread. I had to replace a dead Nvidia display card and chose an ATI Radeon HD 4650. This is a while back and I got no answer on ATI threads. After ATI install I had to reinstall Fusion. Got everything to work. But, after a boot of MCE2005 SP3 the first time MCE is started I get no signal on Fusion 5 PCIe Express DTV channels. Simply exiting MCE and starting it again and all is well until the next time I have to reboot at which the same procedure is required. I realize that it is probably something with MCE but I have been unable to get an answer. Anyone??

Another thing to check is that if you have setup some favorite channels that got removed after the new channel scan, the FusionHDTV will crash on it.

Thanks for advice......but no favorite in list..

If I delete the registry dvico before to lauch the soft it does'nt give me access violation anymore, until it reach the end of the first channel scan. Not sure if I read this on this thread about someone that resolve a problem with dvico support by removing a range of channel scan ?

it sounds like you still have leftovers from the original install of the dvb-s card's install that are causing problems with the new fusion qam install, if i am understanding your posts correctly.

have you tried the "TROUBLE SECTION" of the KAXKID procedure here:

http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...5#post10921125

here are some additional links on the dvico site that might help:

1. http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/Eng/Supp...D=10&SCATID=54

2. http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/Eng/Supp...D=10&SCATID=54

3. http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/Eng/Supp...D=10&SCATID=54

all the above links are found in the dvico faq site here:

http://www.fusionhdtv.co.kr/Eng/Supp...D=10&SCATID=54

it seems possible you are seeing a conflict with the previous install of the "autumnwave" card even though you have removed the autumnwave card.

the autumnwave software and drivers might still be causing a problem with the fusionhdtv program.

try running in "safe mode" and remove all traces of the "autumnwave" install.

then proceed with fixing the fusionhdtv install/uninstall problem.

ps. this link would probably help with the tsreader question:

Thanks KAXKID for your help

Hovewer, there are no conflit possible with an old hardware because hdtvsoftware is running on another partition with clean win xp pro installed.

Kaxkid;

glad to see a post from you here. Your "procedure" remains the gold standard for dealing with problem installations of this product.

I have been fooling with my old fusion 3 card a bit lately. I had forgotten how touchy the product can be with QAM signals. Off the air is much simpler; but in my case has less choices. For example, on QAM comcast provides HDNET in the clear.

which partition are you running "tsreader with source automnwave_GT_QAM.dll''?

it's amazing, to me, how long the "procedure" has remained relevant.

comcast provides different channels in different locations, in my area they have encrypted almost all of the "cable only channels" and are sending duplicate virtual channel assignments for about half of the remaining unencrypted. the duplicate virtual channel situation causes problems for some tuners.

what kind of problem are you having with qam?

Mainly that the public TV channel used to show 100% signal strength; now it shows 98% and the picture and sound are completely garbled. Somehow this would indicate that signal strength has degraded although nothing has changed in the overall cable plant at the house.

Snuff--

If the problem is limited to that one channel, I suspect that the issue is either with its encoding or FusionHDTV's scanning rather than a signal level one. Have you tried either rescanning or just deleting and then adding back that rf channel?

if your comcast is like my comcast, it could be a comcast issue.

The assembled wizards here are correct; I switched back from antenna to cable; and now all is fine. No changes at all made by me; so it must have been a comcast issue.

New release posted 3.81

ftp://ftp.dvico.com/Products/FusionH...onHDTV3.81.exe

From Readme:

<< Changes in Rev 3.81.00 >>
---------------------------------------------------------------

1. Supports Windows7 WHQL driver for Express series.

3. Supports the fusion converter with all products.

I can report 1 issue resolved w/3.81 version:

Background Info:

Win 7 Professional x64 RTM
ATI HD3600 w/ ccc 9.9 drivers
(2) 5RT Gold tuners
(1) 7 Express Dual tuner

Issue:
Prior ver (the beta release from dvico) if fusion program running (windowed) when
4 concurrent recording started at the same time ... the displayed fusion screen would
freeze even though the recording itself was ok afterwards.
With 3.81 - NO FREEZE !!!!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 Issues still:

1) Win7 Media Center still will only utilize 7 Express dual as a SINGLE tuner
2) STILL no closed caption (digital) support!!!

landof--

What is the motherboard for that system?

MSI (MS-7514) " P45 Neo3 FR "

Intel core 2 quad Q9400 @ stock 2.66 Ghz

4 GB Ram

Thanks for the update. My impression is that the Fusion Express cards all work better in Intel or ATI chipset boards than in nVidia NForce ones. So anyone planning a Fusion-based HTPC should consider that in making his/her motherboard choice.

In general ---- happy w/Win7 and fusions. Never been a fan of M$ WMC
so the lack of 7 Express dual being recognized as 2 tuners is not a killer
for me.

However .... Dvico's continued failure to provide CC (closed captioning) in their viewer when even M$ WMC DOES Support this is nothing more than a painful
JOKE !!!

Post your request over on the Fusion My Q&A Forum. DViCo needs to know that this is an important feature. My bugging them has not produced visible movement.

done so before .... once again can't hurt !

I have a Fusion5 USB. After boot, it works fine. If I hibernate the machine and resume, sometimes the Fusion software reports that can't work because USB 2.0 is required. Of course, it is plugged in a USB2 port. If I reboot, then it works again.
Have anyone seen something like this?
I don't want to leave the machine on 24/7.
I'm running the latest Fusion software (but drivers haven't been updated by Dvico in a looong while)
Running XP Pro SP3. All patches installed.
It is an AMD based motherboard (AMD 740G).

Thanks!

Marcelo--

Have you tried a powered hub (and/or, if possible, a USB port connected to a different controller on that motherboard) or one of those Y-USB cables that taps power from two ports? The symptoms you describe sound suspiciously as though you may be running into a power-draw limit on that particular port during the resume process that's triggering a Windows configuration issue. The F5USB can overload some USB ports sometimes.

Thank you guys,

I tried the MCE standby tool, but it didn't help.
I tried different ports. No dice.

I need to find a powered USB2 hub to try.

Can you confirm that you can:
* boot the computer
* run Fusion sw. Tune an analog channel (don't know if it is related)
* stop SW
* Suspend to ram or hibernate.
* restart
* run SW again

With a Fusion5 USB?
Sometimes I get to run the SW a second time, but I never got to a working third cycle.

One strange thing is that when XP resumes, you hear the sounds like the device was unplugged, then detected, then unplugged, then detected. booreep - beeroop - booreep - beeroop if you know what I mean.

I'll keep trying.
Thanks,

Marcelo.-
