I bought a BMIP in November, on an old machine. It didn't really function as intended but i soon fixed this with my new system. I bought a mid range PC:
CPU: G6950 @4.2GHz
GPU: GTX 460 1GB
Mobo: Gigabyte H55M-UD2H
HDD: 1x 500GB WD Caviar Green (With Win7 x86)
1x 1TB Hitatchi (which i record to, has a write speed of abotu 100MB/s.
Will be getting a 1TB Sammy Spinpoint F3 in two weeks. this has better write speed, i may RAID the two 1TB's also.
My BMIP sat comfortably in the case, connected to an Xbox 360, then to a TV. It worked flawlessly for the first few weeks.
Now though...
I have changed NO setting, NO drivers, NOTHING, and it refuses to work at all. I cannot view video on the preview window, and there is no video passthrough (720p 59.94) to my TV. I am stick with a £130 card that's doing nothign except collecting dust at the moment.
I record with Media Express after issues in the past with VirtualDub and AMCap.
The problem became intermittent about a week after i got the new system. It was fixable by restarting both systems, but i get nowhere with that approach any more. I am thinking of sending it to BM for repair/replacement, their customer support has been good, but far too generic to be of use.
Thanks,
SS
