Nice software concept, BUT...
It does not run reliably enough on my system to use on an ongoing basis. I've got a well specified 450MHz Dell Pentium II with Hauppauge WinTV PCI with all the latest drivers running under Windows ME.
SnapStream appears to be unreliable in its interfacing with the Hauppauge card. It works fine about 50% of the time and the other 50% I either get no sound or no picture and no sound. This happens at random.
My PC also hangs when I shut it down with SnapStream loaded - I need to switch it off at the mains to re-boot.
I look forward to any suggestions for getting SnapStream to work reliably or a more stable version of the software.
I also find setting up non-preset capture data rates using MS Media Encoder a rather baffling exercise - despite being a professional engineer!!!
A user-friendly interface would be great, or alternatively more presets with a finer increments between them. Alternatively, how about a set of presets aimed at optimum data rates for different speed processors on typical hardware set-ups?
