As the lost audio packets appear fairly regularly throughout the file, this sorta kinda almost fixes the problem, with the A/V sync being good if not perfect for most of the video. From the "solving the wrong problem" department, I hacked together a program to compare the video length to the audio length and ever so subtly stretch the audio to the length it should be. This is a deal breaker for me because the family really likes the normalized audio. They play fine and convert fine, but when the audio is stripped out the faults appear. Obviously, somewhere along the line, the PVR-500/drivers/Win7/SageTV is creating mpg files with bad audio. Curiously enough, if I strip the audio from a converted file which plays fine, the resulting audio also loses a few seconds (though ffmpeg doesn't report any errors). If I strip out the audio, it loses a few seconds. Again, if I just straight convert the video, the A/V sync is solid. Error while decoding stream #0:1: Invalid data found when processing input" continuously and the resulting audio file is a few seconds shorter than expected. FFmpeg throws out errors "Header missing. I stepped through the process manually and found the problem was in the stripping out the audio. This exact same automated process worked perfectly before the changeover.

However, the new converted files have terrible A/V sync, losing a second or so every 10 minutes, so that the sound on a two hour movie ends 10-15 seconds before the video does.

Because I dislike the sound mixing and leveling on most TV shows and movies I watch, I strip out the audio of all SageTV recordings, run it through some automatic normalization programs, and then mix the new sound back in when I convert the recordings to mp4 file. If that was all I was doing, everything would be just fine. I stress the A/V sync part because that's a big deal to my family. I did a few test conversions with HandBrake and FFmpeg, and the resulting H.264 mp4 files were fine, up to and including perfect A/V sync. The resulting MPEG-2 mpg files were bright, sharp, played correctly, seeked correctly, and had perfect A/V sync. The setup program ran fine and SageTV was soon recording.
I copied the installation CD version 4.0A over the network because I don't have an optical drive on the new computer. The new inputs, feeding the second tuner (the 500 is pretty much two 150s welded together) I never used before, actually give me a little better quality.

While moving it to the new computer, it took the opportunity to install the second back plate for the PVR-500 which gives me an extra set of composite inputs. Windows 7 on the new computer only "sees" about 3.25 GB, about the same as Vista did on the old computer, so I don't think this is the 4 GB problem.Īnyway, the analog TV tuners on the PVR-500 are useless in this digital age, but the RCA composite inputs go great with the outputs of my old Motorola Comcast Set Top Box, and I use an IR blaster to change channels. I chose 32 bit and only 4 GB of RAM because I wanted to make sure my Hauppauge PCR-500 would still work, knowing that it has trouble if it can actually see 4 GB or more of RAM. Long version: I recently replaced my ancient CHEEKMAIN-PC SageTV server/media server/backup server (started on Windows 2000, upgraded to XP, upgraded to Vista) with a brand new MEDIA-PC running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit Bacon Ranch Edition. Does anybody have a suggestion for an analog capture device with composite (yellow, red, and white RCA jack) inputs that's known to work with SageTV? The first one still works for now, but I have decided to seek a replacement. It was a failure of the second of the PVR-500's two tuners. Short version: The problem has been resolved.

Tl dr: Anybody got a good set of drivers for the PVR-500 for Window 7 Pro 32-bit or a good suggestion for a replacement for the PVR-500?
