![]() I have been ripping DVD's with MacTheRipper, using HandBrake to compress them to disc for my MediaStreamer, surfing, and recording four streams, the CPU's were pegged at 200%, not a bobble on the recorded shows! This is on a first gen DPG5 2GHz, 4GB of RAM.Unzip and open the manufacturer software, navigate to the Drivers folder, and replace: HCWemBda.inf and HCWemBda64.inf with the modified drives you downloaded from me. In comparison, I run four Plextor's with hardware compression, it takes less then 3% of my CPU to write all four streams to disc. The Hybrid has NO hardware compression, it relies solely on the Mac to compress the video stream, it can take up to 50% and more of the Mac's horsepower to get the analog video stream ready to put on the disc. Stuttering during record, this is an issue with the Hybrid hardware, not the EyeTV software. Especially with laptops, Apple is supplying the ports with minimal power. Still an issue I am working on, sorry for the non-commital answer! My opinion is that this is an Apple USB issue. Since the Hybrid is a port powered device, as soon as the USB port powers down, it takes a powder and doesn't come back without a reboot. But I have also seen a good high quality Powered USB Hub fix the situation. SOMETIMES plugging the device directly into the native USN port will make it work properly. This is really a big issue with some USB PCI cards. Seems the Mac puts the ports into deep sleep and the software can't wake the port(s). I have found that the not waking issue is a USB Port issue, not an EyeTV issue. > scattered reports of less than ideal operation with PARALLELS and BOOT > I mention that I am running the 24" iMac, as there have been some > EyeTV Hybrid, with EyeTV software version 2.3.3 (This was more than a week ago, that I have heard from them. ![]() > REPLACE the unit, and that they needed our name, mailing address, etc., > -Any ideas?

I had submitted this to Elgato a couple weeks ago I have had no response, except for an RMA "promise." The unit is TERRIFIC when it works! I only have difficulty if I try to run the unit after the 24" iMac has been asleep. My EyeTV Hybrid has "Failed to initialize" after sleep
