Just make sure you have the composite cable plugged in when you start up. Not sure what happens if you have both a TV and a monitor plugged in though. Thanks, I didn't know this.

I like the look and feel of the program but I need to replace my aging ATI AIW card as neither Freevo nor linux like it. I am looking at the Matrox G400 Tuner/Capture/TV Out card based on what I have seen written in this forum. Is this the wisest choice? Does the tuner on this card work with Freevo? How much difficulty will I have setting up the TV Out? Having just seen linux and Freevo shoot down my old All In Wonder card I guess I might be just a little gun shy. The G400 with capture and tv - the Marvel G400 - is going to be more trouble than you're looking for. It's capture interface is a Zoran mjpeg codec, which made a lot of sense before computers had enough spare cycles to compress raw frames on the fly. Today, that mjpeg codec is actually going to add cycles to the process of compressing live video - it doesn't compress anywhere near as well as mpeg4 codecs, so you'd be capturing jpeg only to decompress it and convert it to divx or something else. Also, freevo does not have native support for the overlay-mode tv-watching capabilities on the Marvel cards - which are excellent. In short, the G400 Marvel will give you the same sort of trouble your AIW gives you. Get a G400 dual-head card, build or buy the tv-out cable, and get a bt878 based tv tuner card as well. You'll use two slots, but you'll be a lot happier. I highly recommend the STB and 3DFX pci tv tuner cards that are seemingly always available on ebay for about $20. - Eric pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

When I play a recorded show or a movie, the size is fine. Is there a way to adjust the menu values? Yes, first of all tell freevo the correct resolution in freevo.conf (this should be 720x576 for PAL and DXR3). The setup should set these values correctly. Than you have the overscan. You can set OVERSCAN_X and OVERSCAN_Y in local_config.py than everything fits the screen. And then, send me these OVERSCAN values that I can put them as default for DXR3 into freevo_config.py Dischi --- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Parasoft Error proof Web apps, automate testing more.
