Sony MPEG RealTime Encoder Board?
Hi:
Does anyone know of a Vista driver applicable Sony MPEG RealTime Encoder Board or a work around so that I can upgrade my Sony Desktop VGC-RA716G with MCE(2005) to Vista? If not, how would I go about finding a suitable hardware replacement for this board i.e. mfg, model/part number that would work with Vista? I am not familiar at all with hardware in this area, as you might tell. Thanks |

I am not familiar at all with hardware in this area, as you might tell. You can get any TV card that is labelled as a PVR card, which would have an onboard hardware MPEG2 encoder. Better yet - get a digital TV card. I don't think anybody buys analogue cards anymore in the UK, as FreeView has been around for years now. ss. |

Sony MPEG RealTime Encoder Board?
Hi Colin:
I was the "ColTom2" that made this original posting, as referenced in your Google site. No one has ever been able to tell me anything definitive about this problem. Most say that it will not work, while others say that they have changed certain hardware etc and got it to work. However, no one has cited any real specifics about this problem. I suppose one reason is that there are so many different variations of Sony Desktops that have this board installed, but also have other related hardware that is different. I have been trying to find someone who can tell me a specific solution other than replacing my computer,which is really fine with the current MCE (2005). I just would like to know for sure what and how I could upgrade to Vista. Thanks, ColTom2 "Colin Barnhorst" wrote in message ...

Hi:
When you run Sony's upgrade to Vista application it does not indicate any problem with their MPEG RealTime Encoder Card. All other factors considered I am sure that my VGC-RA716G desktop will upgrade, but in doing so I lose my TV capability with MCE(2005). Only when you run Microsoft's compatibility application des it show up as the MPEG card being a problem in upgrading to Vista. Do you think this card would do as a replacement? http://www.compusa.com/applications/...=OTC-GPRODUCTS Thanks, ColTom2 "Synapse Syndrome" wrote in message ... "ColTom2" wrote in message ...

Hi Tom, I saw your thread, as I am inquiring if you have a copy of the Installation disc for the Sony Vaio VGC-RA716G Desktop I am down, and need a copy of the installation discs for this computer. I would compensate you for these discs. Thanks in advance, KT San Jose, CA -- Jade System |
