recorded using the new WinTV 8.5 , version 37101

using Hauppauge Colossus 2 PCIe card , on HDMI
with digital Optical input for audio ( Dolby digital 5.1 ) .

Using only 1 computer , while runnig Fallout 3 GOTY .
( HDMI pass-thru is real-time )

CPU clock running at 1.7 Ghz , with AMD APU R7 Soc GPU .
2 gig system memory used as VRAM

Hauppauge "Capture" not working too good .
WinTV 8.5 is much better .

Colossus 2 came with a WinTV 8 SN number ,
so WinTV 8.5 activates without WinTV 7 CDROM .

Audio recorded using Dolby 5.1 on the Optical input .
at 640 kbps 6 channels ,
using Creative Labs SB X-Fi Pro 1095 USB sound card
( Dolby Digital Live )

Files record as .ts h.264 14 Mbps , with AC3 5.1 as .ts
The audio source Must already be in Dolby 5.1 .
( SB 1095 sound card makes the source audio
on the computer 5.1 Dolby compliant )

Edited with Vegas , shows 6 channels of audio on time line .
.ts file imports into Vegas .
Hitfilm Pro imports the file , when renamed to .m2ts
Davinci Resolve 16 would NOT import the file .

couple of performance notes :
GPU utilization hits 50% , way too much . That 50 % occurs just to display the desktop
into WinTV 8.5's viewer . So , un-checked h.264 acceleration box , that reduced percent
down to 15 % ,... still too much . So, went into Advanced options to 3rd Party codecs .
and set h.264 to "Disable" . WinTV 8.5 viewer remains Blank\Black and GPU is now at 0 %
when on the desktop . It still records just fine . That is similar to Hauppauge Capture
utility , when in "Capture's" Settings Tab , you can choose to turn OFF the Preview ( none )

Since t Colossus 2 is being used with real time pass thru on just 1 machine , there is no need to see the buffered video in the viewer since the physical TV shows the pass thru video as Full Screen anyway .

The only thing that needs to be done is to "Tap\break out" the video data and save it to the hard drive .
There is absolutely no reason to have Capture nor WinTV 8.5 using system resources to
decode video into the viewer window .

I have said this before in other posts , Always use HDMI output of Colossus 2 , to drive the
TV\monitor , thus using the real-time pass thru . Are you seeing the video source full screen in real-time ? if yes , then there is absolutely No reason to see the buffered video in the viewer window . Thus anyone can view\play game in real-time while recording .

Colossus 2 uses the Magnum Encoder chip . Thus 100 % of the rendering is done inside Colossus 2 . The only thing the computer needs to do is write the file at about 2 Meg Bytes per seconds from the PCIe bus to the hard drive. That is extremely efficient , for HDMI recording .

The only exception to the above is if , for some reason , someone does NOT want to use Colossus 2's HDMI output . Then the only way to see what the card is receiving is by using the viewer window ( this is NOT a preferred setup ) because the viewer has a 2 second buffer delay .
