If the installer program didn´t work for you ... ---------------------------------------------------- I have provided this package for those of you who are unable to use the installer to install the WDM driver. If you run into trouble while installing the driver with tthe install program, here you have the files required to install the driver by hand. But, before proceeding, you must customize the Bt848.INF file to suit your capture card: Here there are step-by-step instructions on how to do this... It is not a complex task, just a matter of search & replace. Steps to generate the right Bt848.INF file for your card: 1) Open bt848.inf in your favorite text editor. 2) Search for the token "$1" and replace it with the hex number of the next listing that best matches your capture card. This must include the "0x" prefix. So, if your card is a "Hauppauge Old" you must replace the token "$1" with "0x01" Hex Nbr Card ----------------------------------------------------------------- 0x00 Use autodetected", 0x01 "MIRO PCTV", 0x02 "Hauppauge (bt848)", 0x03 "STB", 0x04 "Intel", 0x05 "Diamond DTV2000", 0x06 "AVerMedia TVPhone", 0x07 "MATRIX-Vision MV-Delta", 0x08 "Fly Video II (Bt848)", 0x09 "TurboTV", 0x0a "Standard BT878 (Hauppauge (bt878))", 0x0b "MIRO PCTV pro", 0x0c "ADS Technologies Channel Surfer TV", 0x0d "AVerMedia TVCapture 98", 0x0e "Aimslab VHX", 0x0f "Zoltrix TV-Max", 0x10 "Pixelview PlayTV (bt878)", 0x11 "Leadtek WinView 601", 0x12 "AVEC Intercapture", 0x13 "LifeView FlyKit w/o Tuner", 0x14 "CEI Raffles Card", 0x15 "Lucky Star Image World ConferenceTV", 0x16 "Phoebe Tv Master + FM (CPH050)", 0x17 "Modular Technology MM205 PCTV, bt878", 0x18 "[many vendors] CPH05X/06X (bt878)", 0x19 "Terratec/Vobis TV-Boostar", 0x1a "Newer Hauppauge WinCam (bt878)", 0x1b "MAXI TV Video PCI2", 0x1c "Terratec TerraTV+", 0x1d "Imagenation PXC200", 0x1e "FlyVideo 98", 0x1f "iProTV", 0x20 "Intel Create and Share PCI", 0x21 "Terratec TerraTValue", 0x22 "Leadtek WinFast 2000", 0x23 "Flyvideo 98 (LR50Q) / Chronos Video Shuttle II", 0x24 "Flyvideo 98FM (LR50Q) / Typhoon TView TV/FM Tuner", 0x25 "PixelView PlayTV pro", 0x26 "TView99 CPH06X", 0x27 "Pinnacle PCTV Studio/Rave", 0x28 "STB2", 0x29 "AVerMedia TVPhone 98", 0x2a "ProVideo PV951", 0x2b "Little OnAir TV", 0x2c "Sigma TVII-FM", 0x2d "MATRIX-Vision MV-Delta 2", 0x2e "Zoltrix Genie TV/FM", 0x2f "Terratec TV/Radio+", 0x30 "Dynalink Magic TView ", 0x31 "GV-BCTV3" , 0x32 "Prolink PV-BT878P+4E / PixelView PlayTV PAK / Lenco MXTV-9578 CP" , 0x33 "Eagle Wireless Capricorn2 (bt878A)" , 0x34 "Pinnacle PCTV Studio Pro", 0x35 "Typhoon TView RDS + FM Stereo / KNC1 TV Station RDS", 0x36 "Livetec LT 9415 TV (LR90 Rev.F)", 0x37 "BESTBUY Easy TV (model CPH031)", 0x38 "FlyVideo '98/FM", 0x39 "GrandTec 'Grand Video Capture'", 0x3a "Phoebe TV Master Only (No FM) CPH060" , 0x3b "TV Capturer (CPH03X)", 0x3c "MM100PCTV" , 0x3d "AG Electronics GMV1", 0x3e "BESTBUY Easy TV (bt878, model CPH061))", 0x3f "ATI TV-Wonder", 0x40 "ATI TV-Wonder VE", 0x41 "FlyVideo 2000S", 0x42 "Terratec TValueRadio", 0x43 "GV-BCTV4/PCI", 0x44 "3Dfx VoodooTV FM (Euro), VoodooTV 200 (USA)", 0x45 "Active Imaging AIMMS", 0x46 "PV-BT878P+", 0x47 "Flyvideo 98EZ (capture only)", 0x48 "Prolink PV-BT878P+9B (PlayTV Pro rev.9B FM+NICAM)", 0x49 "Sensoray 311", 0x4a "Conexant Bt878 NTSC XEVK", 0x4b "Rockwell Bt878 NTSC XEVK", 0x4c "Conexant Foghorn NTSC/ATSC-A", 0x4d "Conexant Foghorn NTSC/ATSC-B", 0x4e "Conexant Foghorn NTSC/ATSC-C", 0x4f "RS BT Card", 0x50 "Tekram M205", 0x51 "Generic Bt8xx based card without tuner", 0x52 "Generic Bt8xx based with 4 Composite ins", 0x53 "FlyVideo 2000S with add-on board", 0x54 "Hoontech 878TV/FM" 0x55 "KWorld TV878RF-PRO" 0x56 "Gallant InterVisionTV IV550" 0x57 "Mach TV 878" Please, note that these are the cards that can´t be autodetected All the other cards should use the 0x00 code.

This must include the "0x" prefix.

In such a case the driver can autodetect the tuner, But, the driver will always use the user supplied tuner type if not set to autodetection. If you don´t know the tuner brand/model, try a Philips first. If the channel number does not match the channel displayed, but channels change when you change them, then brand of tuner is probably right, but the exact model is not. Also, if you live in Argentina, Paraguay or Uruguay, note that we use NTSC tuners. 4) Search for the token "$3" and replace it with the hex number 0x01 if your card has a TDA9855 on board. Else , replace with 0x00. 5) Search for the token "$4" and replace it with the hex number 0x01 if your card does NOT have a TEA5757 and is supposed to be able to tune FM radio. (Do NOT set it for Miro, Pinnacle or VHX cards) 6) Search for the token "$5" and replace it with the hex number 0x01 if your card does NOT have support FM radio tuning, but you would like to try to use the TV tunaer audio circuit to tune FM radio (Will give FM mono). Don´t expect good quality, but it should work. 7) Save the modified bt848.inf file. Now you have the right bt848.inf file for your card. Copy the files bt848.inf and bt848.sys to a temporary location: Those 2 files are the only required to install the complete WDM driver. 8) Open the hardware configuration manager of windows, choose the video capture device, and update the driver with this recently created bt848.inf file. Probably, the Configuration Manager will say that this driver is not exactly made for your hardware, and that the driver is not certified (by microsoft). Allow it to continue. 9) If all the above steps went ok, the driver is installed!! ---- End ------ For those curious about it, I think that it is virtually impossible to provide an inf file for each possible combination of card and tuner. The installer program simply performs all the above steps for you. ################################################################### ADVANCED CONFIGURATIONS: Nowadays the driver is supporting a lot of keys (registry keys) that are not required by normal users (so the .INF file that I provide is a simplified one; The automatic installer is able to generate a much more complex INF file that is able to control the driver settings in a much more refined way. Here I will document all those settings, so, if you must, you can add them by hand to the provided INF file. Those settings work, but the recommended way to create such a personalized INF file is to use the automatic installer. All the following keys must be added after the line : "HKR,"DriverData","WhiteBalance",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00" General rules: The last 4 values together form a HEX value, the Least significant byte is the first, bytes are separated by "," and must have the "0x" prefix. There must be 4 bytes. Key: HKR,"DriverData","TunerI2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: If present, forces the I2C address of the TV tuner module to the one given, instead of autodetecting it. Key: HKR,"DriverData","TunerFastTune",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: If present, and value set to 1, makes driver use the "FastTune" hardware method to set the PLL frequency of the TV tuner. Should make tuning 10x times faster, but some tuners don't work with it. If set to 0, means the driver won't use this method (same as if the key is not present) Key: HKR,"DriverData","TunerHalfStep",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: Allows using a frequency step of 31500Hz to improve TV channel fine tuning, if set to 1. 0 Means that the driver will use a 62500Hz (default if not present, or set to 0). Some tunera are incompatible with the 31500 Hz tuning step. Key: HKR,"DriverData","HasMSP34xx",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA7432",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA8425",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA9840",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA9850",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA9873",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA9874",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA9875",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTEA6300",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTEA6320",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTEA6420",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","HasTDA8540",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: Each of this keys force (if set to 1) to detect the associated audio chip. If you force a given chip, then you must specify it's I2C address with the associated following key. If set to 0, that chip wont be detected at all, and if you set it to 0xFF, then autodetection will be enabled (same as if the key is not present) Key: HKR,"DriverData","MSP34xxI2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA7432I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA8425I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9840I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9850I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9855I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9873I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9874I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA9875I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TEA6300I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TEA6320I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TEA6420I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","TDA8540I2CAddr",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: If you force the detection of one of this chips, you must use the associated key to give the I2C address of it. Only required if you force them. If present, but chip is not forced, will force the I2C address if chip is autodetected. Key: HKR,"DriverData","NeedSIS5511or5596Fix",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","NeedSIS5597or5598Fix",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","NeedVFSX",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","NeedTriton",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: The above keys activate compatibility with the given motherboard chipsets if set to 1. They degrade performance, so must be used only if experiencing trouble (as lockups). The SIS fixes are not SMP safe,so they shouldn't be used on a SMP machine. Key: HKR,"DriverData","Xtal0",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Xtal1",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: The above keys are overrides for the autodetected frequency values of the reference crystals that are connected to the Bt8xx hardware. The value is simply the frequency in Hz of the associated crystal, or 0 if crystal is not present. Remember, frequency is in Hertz and must be written in HEX as explained) Key: HKR,"DriverData","Custom_VideoIns",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioIns",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_Tuner",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_Svhs",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_GPIOMask",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_VideoMux0",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_VideoMux1",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_VideoMux2",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_VideoMux3",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioMux0",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioMux1",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioMux2",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioMux3",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_AudioMux4",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_HasRadio",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 HKR,"DriverData","Custom_HasTV",0x00010001, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00 Meaning: If the card key ($1) is set to 0xFF, then the driver will use the custom card template. The required values for the template are provided with the above keys. Custom_Videoins = Number of video inputs (including TV tuner, SVideo and composite ins) Custom_AudioIns = Number of audio inputs Custom_Tuner = The index (0 based) of the following videoMuxentries that selects the video of the TV Tuner (set it to -1 = 0xFFFFFFFF if you don't have a TV tuner) Custom_SVhs = The index (0 based) of the following videoMuxentries that selects the video of the SVideo (set it to -1 = 0xFFFFFFFF if you don't have a SVideo connector) Custom_GPIOMask: The bits that must be outs in the GPIO of the Bt8xx to select audio source, etc (this is the value of the GPOE register of the Bt8xx) Custom_VideoMux#: The associated video mux of the Bt8xx (0 based) Custom_AudioMux0: The TV tuner GPDATA contents to select TV audio Custom_AudioMux1: The Radio GPDATA contents to select Radio audio Custom_AudioMux2: The Composite/SVideo GPDATA contents to select Composite/SVideo audio Custom_AudioMux3: Same as above: The Composite/SVideo GPDATA contents to select Composite/SVideo audio Custom_AudioMux4: The Mute GPDATA contents used to MUTE audio Custom_HasRadio: Set to 1 if card has a radio tuner Custom_HasTV: Set to 1 if card has a TV tuner Just to clarify the way the videoMux# keys work: If the driver wants to select the TV video source, it uses the VideoMux#x entry where x is the value of the key Custom_tuner. A similar concept is used for SVideo. All the non referenced entries of VideoMux# are simply composite inputs Bye for now!Download Driver Pack
