Hi, >> BTW – have you been able to get the PVR to play sound? I can get it to record, at least there are .wav files being generated, but I can't get any sound on playback. Do you have any thoughts or clues on this? << RTFM (the Read.me in version 2.00, I think) It's somewhere in the fine print<g> I managed to get their V 2.00 and most recent V2.02 (seems like they are upgrading each week) In both new versions, the file name extensions have been changed and after you sift thru the confusion, you will find that you must use their converter program to create an *.AVC file then you get the sound with the video within PVR. Then……….you must use the converter program to make an *.AVI file so you can use it outside the PVR software!!! (I think it goes like that <g>) Convert, Convert, Convert<G> Had to return my PVR-serious heat problem where screen turns to green, blue and brown negative image after a period of use! It's a great card, only used it a few days worth. Hope this heat problem is/was a fluke. I did manage to get through to their (DPS) BBS (416-754-8368). BEWARE- the updated software is approx. 2Meg and you may lose the connection after you've downloaded about 1.8M or anything in between<g>-I had to try a total of four downloads to get 1 each of V2.00 and V 2.02. [I do not use the internet (yet), I am staying away from Win'95, and can't afford to try Win NT-you're dealing with a strictly Win 3.1 guy] V 2.02 seems to have a "3rd party help file" that is impossible to view in any viewer I have- maybe it's an NT version-Both versions are for both Win 3.1 and Win NT if I'm not mistaken. Hope this helps. Joel – JOEL, Written 11-Oct-1995 @ 20:55:55 Using: Windows NavCIS PRO 1.62
