I have the 64mb VIVO retail, The video in works great but when i record with it the resulting file is just green with a little bit of the picture up top.

T-Bird 900mhz
Asus A7V
MX400
256mb PC-100
Windows ME
 
Neo,

I have had the same problem. i can see something is being recorded but when i playback its only the bottom of the captured video displayed on the top 1/8 of the screen.
Any body have any solutions??? I emailed ATI tech support and they told me to reinstall MMC but it didn't help.
 
whoa-this sux my capture is doing the same thing-but last week it worked!? I can't remember any changes since then either...
 
i have never got the thing to work. Can anyone confirm that the video capture of MPEG2 does work? If that's the case maybe there is a work around. thanks.
 
Initially I was getting some "device not recognized"message while attempting to launch video in. After installing WebTV for windows video capture (MPEG-2) worked fine. On Win98 go to ADD/REMOVE programs and onto Windows setup to install WebTV if it hasn't already been installed.
If it has been installed, then???
Sincerely,
Aouie
 
Already have WebTV installed. Didn't run without it. I am a serious computer guru, and i have no idea why it vid-capture doen't. I don't think its MPEG-2 because i tried doing an avi and i still had the same problem

Anyone who knows how to fix this would be great. ATI tech did a round-about without addressing the problem
 
NEO,

You and I are equally puzzled why this is happening. Im sure we're not the only one's with this issue. Here's my spec

FIC AZ-11
700Mhz T-bird
288MB RAM
WD 17GB 7200 HD
Radeon 64MB VIVO
TB Vortex2
Dual Boot: win98SE, win2K
WinDVD 2K build x92

Thanks..

Where you trying to record off of a copywright protected VHS cassette? I was recording stuff off cable and then I started recording some anime intros and the first three worked but fourth froze frame and continued to only record the top of the video. I retried over and over again, still got the same results.

Tried one of the other tapes... worked perfectly... tried the fourth tape again... freeze frame. Tried recording from cable.. worked perfectly tried the fourth tape a final time... same freeze frame...

I have a feeling that there is either something in the encoder or in the ATI software that is doing this and it may be on purpose. Try recording from different sources and see if they work...

Other than recording from this ONE VHS tape the video in DOES work. I hate it when people assume their problems are global when they and a few others are having troubles.

Thats is a possibility. I think almost all video playing devices have MacroVision.
While i was playing around with the video capture I had quite a few movies I couldn't record from. I have an old vcr from about 1985 that still works and they recorded fine from it. You can find some MacroVision removers out there, A local electronics shop has them for $35.


I got this from the MacroVision site.
"Video Copy Protection

This business unit licenses Macrovision's copy protection technologies to major Hollywood studios, independent studios, special interest program providers, satellite broadcasters, digital set-top decoder manufacturers, DVD player manufacturers, and integrated circuit companies. These technologies allow rights owners to protect their videocassettes, DVDs, and digital pay-per-view programs against unauthorized copying to VCRs."

"How Does DVD Copy Protection Work?
Rights owners seeking to copy protect their programs would instruct their authoring facility to set certain digital-analog copy protection trigger bits to "on." When the disc is played back in a consumer's home, these trigger bits activate a Macrovision-enabled digital-analog converter chip inside the player. The chip then applies copy protection to the analog output of the DVD player. This allows for transparent viewing of the original program, but causes copies made on most VCRs to be substantially degraded"

Sorry for the long post if this is not your problem, just trying to help.

HELP me pleaze!

Same problem guys on my fury pro vivi 32mb
as u have with Radeon

(The chipset is the same i guess)
i had Ati av-crossbar in my device manager
until i installed 6.33cd21 drivers then it dissapeard ! Ok i am trying to capture
from CamCorder through directshow
(virtualdub,vidcap32a,Ulead ...etc.)
same trouble
with Video For Win (win 3.1 yeaah) it works.

The Theater WDM is active and i tried the
specelized drv for MVD WDM for VBI codec
from W2k drivers still the same
deleting everthing g g g ATI from PC and installing new to 6.33cd21
NO FX (reg kill etc...)

Still directshow with ViVo CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody who can H E L P ?

PS:Well I tried this Macrovison Tweakers
NO FX ...
 
every time i try to record something w/ my vivo 64 i get the file is not supported ????????? for wdm ????????? im using winME and tried ati tv in record and movie maker both give me the same answer "file not supported " ?????
help
 
It's not the copyright thing because it won't even capture off my camcorder, the mpeg2 capture does work because I captured almost an hour of various video when I first got my Radeon, it's not the WebTV thing I've removed microsoft WDM from multimedia and re-added and uninstalled WebTV-I think it has something to do with some other part of the system. As I stated in a previous reply my capture worked when I first finished my system but since then something happend-
To the other 2 this is happening to
I've recently installed the following-
Radeon 3056 drivers
Via 4 in 1's (4.24 I believe)
and creative liveware 3.0
I am running -
ASUS P3V4X
733 PIII
384 mb pc133
Pioneer 16x dvd
Seagate 30gb HD
etc
 
Like I said it works for me except for that one VHS tape (Macross II - The Movie) so far and this is my setup:

WinMe(never installed WebTV)
Abit KA7 (VIA 4.03dAGP and 1.02bINF)
Athlon Classic 700
Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO (3063)
256MB Corsair PC133 SDRAM
Diamond MX300 (Vortex2)
IBM 10.1GB UDMA/33 (Games/storage)
Fujitsu 3.2GB UDMA/33(OS/Apps)

I don't know why you are using the 3056 drivers. I have been using the 3063 drivers since i got the card and except for the AGP Turbo mode issue I have never had a problem with this card or the stability of the system as a whole.

Carbon
 
Stabilty is not problem, neither is macrovsion. The source material I was trying to record was OTA. Same goes for camorder movies.

ATI: Have you seen this problem before? I would take screen shots but screen capture does not do video overlays. Users bought this card not only for gaming but video as well, please advise!!


ps. Carbon, nobody is saying that this problem is global, but if affects more that one person, a common search for resolution is justified. Thanks.

d/l the Ravisent Cinemaster 2000 and it is support mpeg 2 capture directly from radeon...i tried and it works perfect ...
 
Carbon, you may be able to get into real turbo mode with your KA7 if you are interested. Just some minor bios adjustments. I Have another thread running presently on this issue.
 
Cinemaster 2K is what the ATI player is based on correct? What are your impressions? I want to see if it solves my video in problems.
