With some captures working, and others not, it's taken me a while to find
out what the problems are I'm having, but I finally got there. I guess it's
a sort of quiz for all you ATI experts!
1) If I capture to mpg I get no sound.
2) Capture OK to AVI with sound, but then I can't edit the files in tmPGenc,
without first converting them from AVI using the Library function.
That is a nuisance taking time and HDD space.
3) Pinnacle Studio (the special ATI version that came bundled with the card)
can't capture from it - "Capture error" whatever I do, and also can't edit
AVI files.
3) Play or capture TV using the TV tuner input gives very low sound volume.
Composite input (from VCR) sound is just fine. (Yes, Windows volume line-in
is maxed on both play and record).
This is a Radeon 9000 Pro AIW, W98SE, running Cat 3.1 DX9a, very clean
install from the CD and 3.5 display drivers. Trying to install Cat3.5 or 3.6
(clean, after a reformat of C resulted in the MMC 8.5 install locking up,
so I gave up and just used updated display.
Are all these issues linked in some way? Eg SB Live + VIA chipset + Radeon =
problems?
Or perhaps I need to load in some package of codecs that has been missed
somehow, perhaps due to installing and then dumping Pinnacle Studio??
Any suggestions most welcome. (Phew! it's taken me a long time to work out
what the question is!)
Many thanks,
Laurence
