Steamboatwillie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I've searched and I did not find if anyone had covered this before. I have iDeneb 1.3 installed on an ASUS PTGV-DM (HP) motherboard with a Celeron M processor (Link to Mobo on HP Site)The machine works great, and is suprisingly fast. I had to use a 3com Ethernet card that works like a champ. The only problem is I cannot convert video. I have an Elgato Turbo.264 (USB attached hardware encoder) and Visual Hub. The Elgato starts to encode then crashes. Same with Visual Hub. I also noticed that Coverflow does not work in iTunes. Could it be related to my problem? I don't care so much about getting Coverflow working but I rally would like to be able to encode DivX files for my AppleTV. Any ideas? Many thanks and sorry that I am a total n00b at Hackintoshing!

Steamboatwillie Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 I did get the Turbo.264 to work. When I migrated my user account from my PowerBook it kept the presets I created. Once I deleted the presets and recreated them the Elgato started working. Visual Hub is still crashing though.

hackaroni Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Hey there! How did you get iDeneb on there? How's the Leo performance? I'm trying with JaS 10.4.8 now as my first iDeneb attempts didn't work (and I've been working on another hackintosh for a few days so am tired). You're probably going to have to find a good kext/driver/patch for your video card... it's possible your problem is related to something else -- like your migration (try a new user and new Visual Hub install, after deleting all the Visual Hub preferences).... I've had YouTube video freeze up because the sound driver wasn't correct... but for you, it may just be video. Here's one idea: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=141549 But if you're not familiar with installing kexts, you're going to have to brush up on that first... well, first you'll want to back up with Time Machine and turn off TM so that you have a pristine backup in case anything goes wrong. I use Kext Helper to install plain kexts... and then I use Disk Utility to repair permissions.... on reboot, I press F8 quickly at(just before) the Darwin prompt so that I can add boot flags to force reload of the extensions: -f -v (-v is verbose and shows you what's going on.... if you hit a snag, boot again and add -x this will let you boot into safe mode without drivers/extensions/kexts and maybe enable you to troubleshoot your problem or roll back to your last working configuration....) good luck! (and don't forget to back up if you care to CYA) EDIT: Spoke too soon, you may be able to go up to 2 gigs of RAM Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/135189-cant-encode-video-and-no-coverflow/#findComment-1065141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
