PCI radeon 7000 video card. Am i going to have a macrovision problem
I recently ordered a Radeon 7000 pci card, with hopes of video
capturing dvd's new dvd's. I do not have a dvd drive so i'm going to do this by running my dvd player into my radeon 7000 through with an s video connection, capturing the video and saving it on my hard drive. Can anyone tell me possible probelms that may arise and how to fix these problems. thank you |

Most Radeons have an S-video port for TV-out, but only the All-In-Wonder type cards support video-in. |
All ATI's have macrovision enabled (software driver restriction?).
This means you can't capture macrovision encoded VHS tapes or dvd movies without seeing the pulsating colors and lines with the AIW cards Also, this means you can't output your dvds from your computer to a VHS player without seeing macrovision artifacts when using the TV-Out. Yes it sucks. Some have found free solutions (don't feel like purchasing extra coaxial switches or video filters). I have not and I just want to be able to output computer dvd video to my VCR since my TV has no Video in (just coaxial). Macrovision is a pain in the ass for lawbidding consumers and doesn't prevent copying by those who want to copy.

I called and doubled checked and you were right, the card does not have s-video input. What do you think would be the best course of action to take for copying dvd's. Getting a dvd rom and ripping them or getting another video capture card and do it that way? |
