It's March 28th 2012, I'm happy to announce a new release of HDPVRCapture. It's a free upgrade for everyone!

This is mainly a bugfix release for the 2012 Hauppauge HDPVR firmware. I've added some highly experimental support for standard definition aspect ratio control and cleaned up an issue reported in 10.6.8.

This is a highly recommended upgrade for everyone, especially if you have the 2011 or 2012 firmware in your HDPVR.

As always, a demo is available for download and a full list of changes is available in the Release Notes.

Today, Hauppauge released v1.7.30059 of their HDPVR firmware, available for download here: http://hauppauge.com/site/support/support_hdpvr.html (click on the beta tab). You'll need a windows PC in order to upgrade the firmware in your HDPVR.

Why should you care? I've been tracking an open HDPVR firmware problem since October 2011, I've referred to this as the 2011 firmware issue and it's been causing problems for many user. Details in the FAQ: (http://www.hdpvrcapture.com/cms/?q=node/3#jerky).

Deep inside Apple's Campus in California, engineers are busy developing the next version of the operating systems, MAC OSX 10.8. code named Mountain Lion, see http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/ for more information.

Most likely Apple will release 10.8 for general sale later this year. HDPVRCapture will be modified over the coming weeks to fully support 10.8, so when Apple release Mountain Lion you'll have no compatibility issues.
