Qosmio G20 issue - Codec of Capture / Capture a bound program

Hello guys and girls!

Recently I bought the laptop Qosmio G20 102 and I am very satisfied with it because I found many flaws that annoy me in my work. Now, I am addressing those who might be kind enough to help me with the biggest problem of all.

Provided laptop preinstalled with software of InterVideo WinDVR5 which are used to capture video from any source there, as a Composite, antenna and S-video. WinDVR uses mpeg codec to compress the raw data in process, overview and mpg files that you can save later.

Question: can you change the capture codec or software?

Why?

Codec is a bit outdated in terms of video editing. Much more than other codec mpeg on the market and it creates 'blocking effect' in some digital editing software like the first Vegas at the controls of speed or effects are used, and I use them a lot the quality of compressed video is degraded. With the help of divx, xvid, mjpeg codec would be much better to capture video at this level and would really be 'the art of smart entertainment.

InterVideo WinDVR5 is provided specially for Toshiba laptops with TV tuner or composite input. The software is great. I use version 3 on my desktop and I am totally satisfied. Unlike the version 3 on my desk, on-board version 5 on my laptop do not change the settings for video quality. He's stuck in normal and it didn't budge.

So, I have way, is there a way to answer my question in the means to change the codec or capture software, or even something else?

Hello Marko

It is very nice that you are satisfied with your device. G20 is a very nice unit and hope I'll get it one day too. Back to your problem. I don t want to write much more just a short explanation. Like other laptop manufacturers Toshiba preinstall some deaf for users, but it is just a limited Version limited. These applications are suitable for Toshiba.

In my opinion, there are basic functions and the user can test the software. If the software is good the user must purchase a full version with all the functions. If you n t like them, it can be removed and each user can install their favorite software.

I understand you want to edit your videos but I put t think that there is a possibility to change anything.

In my opinion, you need to install your favorite applications (full version) and on this way, you will be able to capture videos as you want. On this path, it would be 'the art of smart entertainment.

Good luck!

    Hello

    I created the DVD Qosmio G20 and this unit is probably more simple as on your F20. In any case if you carefully read the user for F20 manuals described therein:

    The port is used differently depending on the OS used in the computer.

    Windows XP Home Edition model: with the VIDEO-IN cable bundle, peripheral external such as TV, VCR, etc., can be connected to the computer and with WinDVR and WinDVD Creator Platinum 2 can be used to modify or view the entries.

    Media Center Edition model: with the cable to VIDEO IN cable or satellite set-top boxes can be connected to the computer to watch channels. Video not CAN NOT be retrieved for editing as in the model of Windows XP Home Edition.

    Hello

    No, you can download the latest version of common for Vista modules because the Toshiba has not released drivers Vista for the Qosmio G20

    This error message is displayed on your laptop, because the common modules only work with XP!
    If you want to upgrade XP to Vista you must first remove all incompatible applications.

  • Qosmio G20 blocked on JBOD in BIOS

    Hello

    I have a problem with the Toshiba Qosmio G20-109.
    The system does not start, the two hard drives JBOD (unable to start Windows).
    HDD1 - 120 GB
    HDD2 - 250 GB

    So I wanted to put the first disc HARD 1 1RAID-0 using the method described in the Manual: I entered the code 1 2 3 4 and I pressed Enter.

    The problem is that once entered the BIOS code remained frozen and blocked.

    I tried everything, I'm not despairing managing to install an operating system.

    I hope there is a solution.

    Hello

    If JBOD has been set in the BIOS, Windows OS could not be installed on this HARD drive except using the Toshiba product recovery disc. But I guess you want to install the system using another drive in Windows.

    To be honest, I not very well why the BIOS freezes and does not accept Mr. code it s certainly the right one: ENTRY 1,2,3,4

    But the issue is probably related to the HARD drive. How to switch hard drives in the Bay?
    Try to use the 120 GB HDD2 and the 250GB as HDD1.

    I also recommend you use the 1RAID-0 = HDD1 and HDD2 = JBOD
    Would be interesting how it works.

  • Qosmio G20: Question of Media Center Receiver - recovery question

    As the abvoe really, I usually leave my computer running from one day to the next day and yesterday I went on it to find that I had 80 MB hard drive (60 GB HDD) to the left. Error messages had popped up and a record of these was recorded in the folder pchealth, under userdumps, or something like that. Anyway I deleted 58gigs with a value of these userdumps, but the same error message kept popping up.

    It was a mistake with the Media Centre receiver, but I don't quite know what it is, but it was founded in the ehome folder which I think is located in the main folder of Windows.

    I have been into msconfig and stopped the ehhome.exe to start but that seems to ruin the tv/video within the media library settings.

    I recently installed the codec and divx player to play divx movies.

    I was wondering is that it would be more prudent to use the CD recovery and re - install windows and the software and create a restore point, and then install the codecs to see if the same problem arises, or if someone has had this problem and it heals.

    Finally, I actually ran the recovery cd to the above, but when the cd starts the first line on back said something like, 'running Setup for windows 98'. XP is certainly on the 98 and no recovery cd?

    Can someone please confirm this for me and all the answers to the above problems.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I can t believe that Windows 98 is placed on the recovery CD.
    AFAIK the Qosmio G20 was delivered with the MCE window.
    There is no recovery of Win98 CDs for Qosmio units.

    In my opinion, this message occurs due to RAID or other drivers that load at the beginning.

This happens also with you guys? could this be a problem in high definition? Even on the film "nilo" which comes connected to media player... when it comes to an image of an egypsian walk to the horizon on the stones... If you look at the blue sky, the definition is not so good... Why is this?
    Despite this problem watching movies top it s super...

    Hello

    First of all, you are right. This very nice laptop s. I wish I would have a.
    Good on your problems:

    1.), you should try to change the display resolution. It would be very interesting to know if the black dots remains on the screen. In addition, I put t think that it s a pixel dead issue because you don t have problems if watch you movies.

    2.) have you used a Qosmio Player or a MCE? You should try to start the Qosmio player and try to launch a new search for TV channels. In the manual, you will find a detailed description of a connection and the use of the Q drive

    3.) have you activated the Bluetooth with FN + F8 key combination?

  • Qosmio G20-123 with two questions (WIFI AND ELECTROSTATIC)

    I BOUGHT THE QOSMIO G20-123 ON 30 OCTOBER 2005, FRANCE.
    IT'S THE SECOND QOSMIO I (I BOUGHT THE FIRST QOSMIO G10-126 OF FRANCE IN JANUARY 2005 AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE). NEEDLESS TO SAY THAT I ONLY BUY TOSHIBA BRAND FOR MY LAPTOP SINCE THE YEAR 2000.

    UNFORTUNATELY, THIS NEW QOSMIO G20-123 HAS TWO PROBLEMS.
    I WILL ADDRESS THE TWO ISSUES AND THE RESPONSE THAT I RECEIVED FROM TOSHIBA LEBANON (WHERE I LIVE) I HAD THE EXPERIENCE AND THEY HAVE VERY GOOD TECHNICIANS AND SERVICE.

    FIRST PROBLEM: WIFI CONNECTION
    I HAVE THE APPLE AIRPORT EXPRESS AS ACCESS POINT, WHEN I CONNECT THE QOSMIO WIRELESS ACCESS point IT STARTS WITH a SPEED OF 54 Mbps THEN IT COMES down to 1 Mbits/S.i. HAVE to PRESS THE BUTTON REPAIR so that the speed is up to 54 Mbps, and then a few minutes later, it comes down again once at 1 Mbps.
    SO FAR I HAVE NO RESPONSE FROM TOSHIBA ON HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.

    SECOND PROBLEM: FIELD ELECTROSTATIC AROUND THE SCREEN

    WHEN I TOUCH THE METAL OF THE LCD FRAME, THERE IS A LOAD ELECTROSTATIC, FLUCTUATING TENSION ALL AROUND.
    IT SEEMS THAT IT LACKS A PLUG OF EARTH (EARTH) SOMEWHERE... I'VE EVER SEEN AN ADAPTER TOSHIBA WITH A SHEET CONTAINING 3 HEADS (EARTH).
    SO FAR THIS PROBLEM TOO HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED.
    ALSO AS I MENTIONED HIGHER, MY OLD QOSMIO G10-126, WHICH IS PLACED NEXT TO EACH OTHER, USING THE SAME ACCESS POINT AND THE SAME ELECTRICITY INTAKE, AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY WELL WITHOUT THESE PROBLEMS. WHAT SOMEONE HAS THESE PROBLEMS?
    CAN YOU HELP ME SOLVE THEM?

  • Qosmio G20 wakes up after hibernation for no apparent reason

    Hello all,.

    For a while now, I've noticed that my Qosmio G20 tends to wake up from hibernation at random times for no reason apparent. When I place it in hibernation during the night, it passes in a State of hibernation, but (normally) after a few hours suddenly waking up from that State for no reason.

    Obviously this isn't a big issue, but I prefer to Hibernate when it's possible (as opposed to the day before) and it's pretty boring to woke up at 04:00 by triumphing over the Qosmio music shine (it's still better than windows ' your da!) " : P)

    Any ideas?

    Please check the BIOS settings. I'm not 100% sure, but on a page on the side right, there must be some sort of wake-up option. Check if this option is enabled.
