Hi, I think a lot of the issues with skew and/or rotation are to a great deal a matter of the tv, and not the video cards. I have a Thomson 28" wide and observed a slight rotation of the picture. I then started to watch more closely on broadcasts that have horizontal material, like stock market in

Hi, Please note that this answer is not based on science, rather more exeprience and feel. I guess that the answer is to some part given by the name cdparanoia containing "paranoid". Exact audio copy (EAC) is, I guess, still state of the art for riping on Windows. I recall once trying to rip a C

Hi, Many thanks for your nice web page about the DigiMatrix. Very informative! Just one question about the volume control. Is it an analog potentiometer or some sort of digital jog wheel? > Hardware : > I've several problems with : > =2D Remote control > =2D Front buttons Without any other know

Hi, I have tried both dxr3 (well actually some clone, but still same chip) and nvidia GF4 mx440 with tv-out. I would definitively recommend for going with the nvidia card. There are several resons: 1. Effectivity. The dxr3 card decodes mpeg-2 only. Displaying a divx (mpeg-4) movie on the card r

Hi All, I was just wondering, is there a way to map some keys ("1" and "5" mainly) to either a remote through lirc or to some button on a gamepad? My freevo works like a charm, but would be even nicer to be able to skip the keyboard alltogether. Now I only need it to "add coins" when playing.. Th

Hi all, As there has been a lot of discussion on tv-out lately I think it could be appropriate with a short update. Looks like the preferred card is THE Matrox G400 dh. The dxr3/hollywood+ gives good picture quality, but consumes unnecessary cpu on non mpeg1/2 material. The sad thing with both th

Version -pre4 works out of the box. Just set dislplay to dxr3 and rock on.. at least worked for me. However, sorry to disappoint you, but your system is way too slow for any practical (movies) use with the dxr3. (Sadly know it because I initially tried with an identical AMD). I currently run on a
