Windows Media Center problem of input S-video

I have a HP m9350f running Vista 64-bit Home Premium.  It has a Hauppauge HVR-1800 TV tuner inside.  This card features a remote control with IR receiver is highlighted at the front of the minitower chassis.  The tuner and remote work fine through WMC with a 'digital antenna "as the source of signal to the card.

However, I'm trying to set up WMC also accept a S-video (or composite video) and audio of a combo Samsung DVD/VCR, VR-357.  WMC hesitate to second source because it can't find/see "IR control cable" on the remote control, so I can never finish the implementation.

I've seen some old posts that address this problem, but nothing that seems to apply to the HVR-1800.  What is someone is aware of all hotfixes to WMC or some other workaround for this stumbling block "IR control cable"?

The VR-357 has no RF output, so I can not simply designate as an "analog" with just the Ch antenna 3/4.  My next step is to go buy an old VCR to get Ch 3/4 output and this source from the TV card as an analog antenna, but that seems to be crazy having something to do with all this modern equipment!

Thanks in advance to anyone who has nothing to offer.

  • Windows Media Center will not play my video/DVD

    I tried to play a video/DVD on my laptop and got this error:

    "Windows Media Player cannot play this DVD because there is a problem with the digital copy between your DVD player and the video card protection decoder. Try to install a driver available for your video card.

    I went to the Device Manager in the control panel and everything was listed as up-to-date and working properly.  What should I do?

    Hello

    Thank you for contacting Microsoft Answers.

    It is obvious that the DVD is protected against copying. Therefore, you cannot copy the contents of the disc. But to read the DVD, you need a suitable decoder. If it is missing/corrupt/out of date, you may need to install the most recent.

    Have you installed the readers of third party DVD like PowerDVD, WinDVD, etc.. ? If so, it should work.

  • How to get Vista Windows Media Center to really stop video

    During playback of a video in WMC the stop button takes me to the screen with various options beginning with 'Done '. When
    'fact' is selected the video goes into the small PIP with square stopped blue and remains here and in "Now Playing".

    How do I really stop a video rather than have him act as if he is only suspended.

    When I press 'stop' and 'fact' I want that it shut down completely.

    Hi Dazema,

    It is the occurrence of same process even in my computer when any type of video. This is normal.

    You can also pass the option to click on the left arrow to return to Windows Media Center options after stopping the video or the video playback.

  • Vista / windows media center / missing mouse pointer

    Hi I recently bought vista Home premium v6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 and have all the updates.

    I have 2 similar problems.
    When I start windows media center I lose the mouse pointer and if I use alt - tab returns in other running programs such as office. so it seems only to be windows media center problem.
    to exit the program I have to ctrl-alt-del and use taskmanger to complete the process, but even if it works sometimes.

    I get a similar problem with other programs, especially when loading software.
    It was not to display the error on the top window or place an item in the taskbar.

    and I don't get to see if I minimize all other windows.

    It's on a laptop Acer 1810 entered t oem installed with vista home premium.

    radar888,
    The first thing you posted in the category Windows Update, but I moved this forum hardware and drivers.

    However, in safe mode, your computer starts with generic basic hardware drivers.  That's why it will give an error that your video card is not good enough for Media Center.  The fact that the mouse works properly in safe mode indicates that you have a driver problem.  I would update ALL your hardware drivers (video, sound, NETWORK, touchpad, etc...).  Then test the position of the mouse.  You can check with the Acer site for drivers.  You can check with the hardware manufacturer for the latest drivers for your video card.

  • How do you play dubbed audio or subtitles in Windows Media Center Extender (Xbox 360)?

    I know how to turn subtitles on my Windows Media Center PC, but there is no option to select audio dubbed or subtitled when you use Windows Media Center Extender. All my video files contain subtitles and audio dubbed foreign films.  My wife loves Spanish subtitles, because she has trouble understanding some English films.  I searched some forums and there are questions there but they have no definitive answers.  How a company billions of dollars developing a Media Center and leave out or miss crucial features like these? Please do not react with the thread on how to activate subtitles in TV Mode. Which does not apply to this question. The key word is EXTENDERS.

    Hi AnthonyWilson5

    Subtitles should be coded in the movie view. These subtitles are automatically playing with video files. If the subtitles are a separate .srt file, then you will not be able to visualize everything by watching a video on the 360. There is no real turn option ON or OFF for subtitle in the Xbox 360.

    But for more information you can even try to contact the expert Microsoft Xbox 360 team. Please visit the links below to find a community that will support what ask you in the right direction for Xbox 360.
