It >does< work! It took longer to track down a copy of the wdm1051063.exe
Margi software/driver then it did to install it and get the card to play
MPEG-2 files on the HDD. Youre link was dead Avi.
Turns out I had Directx v9.0c on the W98SE partition of my 110 from a
previous attempt to get the card working, and it seems you cant roll it
back to a previous version. But I did have limited success at getting both
video and audio to play.
I first played a couple files captured with a WinTV card on my PC. One was
the original MPEG-2, and the other an MPEG-1 file compressed down about 1/6
the size of the original of the type I usually make for playing on the Lib.
Both have MPEG-1 Layer 2 encoded audio streams. And the audio for both
plays fine through the Libs Yamaha sound drivers.
But then I ripped a small section out of a DVD VOB to a 34MB MPEG-2 test
file that contains the original AC3 audio stream, and I get no audio
playback out of that at all.
Now I havent found where to find the option to enable the ZV port in any of
the Yamaha W98SE driver settings I can find. Im hoping that may enable the
AC3 audio playback. If its because I need Directx v8.1, Ill have to start
over and install a new copy of W98SE.
Where did you find the ZV port setting in W98 (SE?) Michael?
And Avi, did you use the Margi wdm1051063.exe software/driver package in
W2k?
One thing I was wondering about has been dramatically demonstrated
The
quality of the MPEG-2 video ripped right from a DVD VOB is incredible.
Close to photo perfect on the little Libby screen!
