Installation Procedure

Step 1 - Extract the Installer
Download the file to a suitable location on your computer, then extract it (Windows has built in support for zip files, if you right click on the file and select 'extract all' a wizard will guide you through extracting the directory).

Step 2 - Remove the previous software version (if necessary)
If you had previously installed the WinTV in your PC, browse to the folder you just extracted to (e.g. through My Computer) and locate a file called hcwclear.exe
Run HCWCLEAR.EXE and choose the options Remove All WinTV Drivers and Applications (Total Removal) and Search All .INF Files for Conflicting Hardware.
Note: wait until the black box has disappeared of its own accord before proceeding.

Step 3 - Reboot
Shutdown and reboot your PC.

Step 4 - New Driver Installation
After Windows reboots, you will see the New Hardware Found prompt.

Cancel the New Hardware Wizard.

Run HCWDriverInstall.exe, from the unzipped directory. This will install the Windows driver for your WinTV. At the completion of the driver install, you should see a message which says Drivers have been updated sucessfully..

Step 5 - Run Setup.exe
Run Setup.exe from the extracted folder (from Step 1). You will be presented with a list of things to install, leave all the default settings and click Install.

Once the installation is complete, all drivers will be installed and you should have a WinTV icon on your desktop.

To install this new video decoder, first remove the old Hauppauge decoder by going into Control Panel and then Add/Remove Programs. Remove Intervideo Filter SDK
Then, download and run this file.

WinTV-Editor
MPEG Editor version 2.3 for the WinTV-PVR
This is a "cuts only" editor for use with WinTV-PVR under Windows XP, developed for Hauppauge by nanoCosmos. You can remove video segments, rearrange video sequences or trim the ends of your video files. The WinTV MPEG Editor preserves the quality of the original recording by not requiring a re-encoding after editing, so you get "first generation" quality video. It does this by cutting only on the MPEG I frames.

Features:

  • Fast editing: uses a new technique to speed up the editing process.
  • Standard support for large files: this version was developed under WindowsXP, and can edit unlimited size MPEG files.
  • Separate functions to remultiplex VCD and SVCD files: new menu options are available to create "burnable" VCD and SVCD files from "raw" files created by the WinTV-PVR.
  • A button has been added to play the file which has just been edited.

The WinTV-PVR Editor works with the MPEG formats (MPEG1 and MPEG2) created with any WinTV-PVR. If you are editing MPEG-1 (or VCD) files, the output created by the WinTV-Editor is in a recordable VCD format. For more information on this, see below under "Here's another way to make Video CD (VCD) burnable files".
