Black Screen After Uninstalling Arcsoft

I am using an HD-PVR with SageTV, and after uninstalling Arcsoft because of problems with Fallout 3, I now get a blank screen in SageTV when I try to play recorded files. It doesn't seem to matter which codec I use. The files are fine, as confirmed in PowerDVD. Any idea how to get video back?

Take a look at the following lines in your sage.properties / sageclient.properties file in the Sage directory:

videoframe/h264_video_decoder_filter=
videoframe/aac_audio_decoder_filter=

Make sure it is not still set to use the Arcsoft decoders.

Also, I was never able to get the Cyberlink decoders working with h264 & aac content until I started using the beta demuxer (aac still does not work for me, but I use SPIDIF now from the HDPVR so not a problem anymore). I believe others were able to use the cyberlink decoders, so that might be hit or miss.

edit: You'll have to have Sage completely shutdown if you need to make changes to the properties files

Do you have any idea where those files are stored on Vista with UAC enabled?

Look in the Virtual Store.

Alright, for some reason it still has Arcsoft in there. What should I replace it with?

Edit: I used "CyberLink H.264/AVC Decoder (PDVD8)" and it seems to work, but now I have no audio!

For Audio if you install the AC3Filter and use that you will move the audio codecs out of any applications codecs. This will also enable 5.1 output over your SPDIF. I use AC3Filter for both vidoe and DVD audio codecs and it works great. It is also the only way I can get more then 2 channel output from my SPDIF.
