REVCO  Aww kr@p! 3.3.2 aspect ratio cropping on exported files is messed up.

Sample:

Opened the same recording in 3.3 and it exported fine.

SATCOMER  The new 64bit updates in v3.3.2 are great. This is the way to get TV into you Mac and Elgato continues to update the software to fix things.

DOMINIQUE PERETTI  The app being 32 bits doesn't mean the subprocess that decodes the video is not 64 bits...

SJK  Yup. I ran Activity Monitor and noticed EyeTV-related processes are running in 64-bit mode, including a new "Elgato MPEG-2 Decoder" process when exporting MPEG-2 recordings.

I've been discovering changes (unfortunately not mentioned in the release notes) that make this a more significant update for me than many 3.x previous ones, maybe enough to deserve being v3.4. :)

REVCO  I guess you're commenting on my original post which was DELETED by an admin here. Why?

Yes, all sub process seem to run in 64-bit, as mentioned in the read me file. Just not the main app.

SJK: what else have you noticed different/fixed with this version?

SJK  .

> what else have you noticed different/fixed with this version?

I'll eventually be mentioning some changes on the forum in corresponding threads where an issue was previously reported/discussed. I'd rather add brief "fixed in 3.3.2" followups, quoting previous posts if necessary, there than reposting here.

REVCO  @SJK

Sorry, I've lost interest in this version. A few too many quirks. Good luck to you though.

XCO  Frankly, I find some of the eyeTV reviews below disingenuous.

eyeTV is a good application that, in my 3-years experience with it in the US and UK, works as advertised. We have replaced all our US televisions with Macs running eyeTV.

In the US, we view TV using cable, the lowest cost Comcast service. Yet, using eyeTV, we get all the digital and, dare I say, all of the main HD (QAM) channels.

In the UK, I use Freeview. The problem is Freeview reception can be poor, especially in parts of London. That will improve as the signal strength is boosted in coming years.

One can use eyeTV with tuners from both Elgato and third-parties.

NED SCOTT  The TV Guide deal and lack of PPC support for iPhone/iPod touch live streaming leads me to give this one star. Harsh, maybe, but when I can transcode videos using Air Video (http://www.inmethod.com/air-video/) on the same machine without any problems, then there is no excuse. I'm glad I at least only had to buy the software, as the hardware portion of their products are horribly over-priced, and can be purchased with the "eyeTV" branding for much cheaper.

The interface kinda stinks too.

NED SCOTT  to clarify, I meant that the same hardware can be bought for much cheaper when it's not under the "eyeTV" brand.

ALEXF  It has some great features and is easy to use. But it is very unstable -- it randomly launches and restarts itself for no discernible reason. I've tried eliminating all traces of it and reinstalling, but it doesn't help.

It can't be relied upon to record reliably because of the stability issues.

ALEXF  Update: The problem is not the software, but the hardware -- it is incredibly sensitive to connection interruptions. Even the nudge of a finger will 'disconnect' it. Make sure your USB cable is seated fully and securely into your mini. So far no more problems :)

SCIFI  .

The in-app updater in my current 3.3-5848 build says no updates available.

I suppose Elgato has not updated their 'update' server.

I clicked on the 'Download Now' shown near the top of this MU entry, and found a direct link for the 5851 build dmg right there (at least for me).

UMIJIN  Having the same issue. i prefer to install it via the app, as doing the intall from a downloaded DMG seems to require setting everything up from scratch again.

HADDOCK  have had a dtt-stick 4 years or so, works great but when i updated my system to snowleo the software (eyeTV) doesn't work. have to BUY a 80€ update (my software is to old to go with the 40€ deal)! still, i think 40€ waaayy to much to get any hardware work with a simple systemupgrade.

RAYCON  Don't know what it is but I got stuttering on my iMac 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 GB RAM, and I'm still getting it on my new iMac 2.8 GHz i7 with 8 GB RAM. It doesn't matter whether I'm recording or playing back, and it's absolutely frustrating.
