A few years ago I bought the WinTV USB2 device from Hauppauge so that I could connect a DVD player to my laptop. At the time, I was running Windows XP, and it worked beautifully. But when I upgraded a few months ago to Windows 7, this was the one piece of hardware I couldn’t get to work. Since then, I’ve searched for solutions, but to no avail. I can install the WinTV software that is recommended for my hardware, but when I go to run it I get an error saying “Error: can not locate Capture filter (Hauppauge PVR USB2 AVS Video Capture)”.
Anyone else been able to figure this out, or do I just need to upgrade to the newest hardware? Anyone else have a good solution for connecting a DVD player to a laptop?
I’ve got the Hauppauge HVR-2250 – a PCIe internal tuner (dual tuner, actually), and it works great on Win 7. But, that’s a different animal. But, man – I love doing my own DVR. Pair that with a 1.5GB hard drive, and the options are endless…
I had got a hauppauge wintv usb2 stick bundled with my hp dv6226tx laptop, which had vista as the OS. I changed OS to Win 7, and this hardware doesnt work. hauppauge support site doesn’t provide updated drivers for windows 7. Is there any solution to this?
There’s got to be someone out there who has reverse-engineered this thing!
