Nero 6.3.1.15 corrupts WinFast PVR... HELP!

[erector16]

I just downloaded and installed the trial version of Nero UE v6.3.1.15 since my older version of Nero doesn't support my new NEC burner (2510a). After installation, WinFast PVR keeps crashing (gets the "Send Error" message in WinXP). I've removed Nero and WinFast PVR works again... Has anybody else had this problem?? This is really ticking me off since I'm a loyal Nero user who likes to use his damn TV tuner to watch TV also!

Do you have the most updated version of the WinFast App? I don't know how often they update their software now. But for a while, it seemed pretty frequent.

Yeah. I tried updating my drivers and the app, but it still didn't want to work with Nero installed...

Are you using the DVD Directburn option in the PVR software? Is it crashing during general playback or while you are trying to capture video?

 

[erector16]

I don't think that DVD Directburn is enabled, but I will try to check when I get home tonight. The application crashes as soon as I "turn it on" using the remote. I get the following sequence:

Turning on for the first time after rebooting: Crashes right away and I get the "Send Error" dialog

Second time: Actually starts PVR, but after about a minute, it crashes. Weird thing is that the sound stays on even though the PVR software crashed...

Third time: Crashes right away, just like the first time.

Repeat of second time...
and so on, so forth.

This is all during regular playback and I am not attempting any video capture. Thanks for the replies guys!

....and I thought that it was just me that was having that problem. I have yet to figure out the problem or how to work around it other than not to update nero at the moment.

so at least i'm not the only one either! i've contacted nero about this and am awaiting a reply. i'll post if i hear anything useful.

 

[erector16]

anybody else have any ideas??

A number of people are experiencing this problem - me included. I unistalled Nero and went back to an earlier version myself in order to get WinFast PVR to work. PowerDVD, etc. not affected. Check out the following post and I suggest we gang up on Ahead (Nero) Support to fix this issue!

I just received a reply from Nero tech support this morning. They also recommend renaming "NeQTADec.ax" and "NeQTVDec.ax" (just like slavamon suggested). They recommend renaming the files to a .bak extension. I haven't tried this yet, but will report results when I do.
