AIW 128 and MMC
I have an All-In-Wonder 128 w/64MB and right now I'm running MMC 7.1
on Windows 2000 Pro. The MMC software is a bit buggy, ie. fast-forward and rewind buttons don't work. The ATI site implies that I can't use a newer version of the MMC by directing me to version 7.1. Question: Can I use a newer version of MMC? I've read that 7.6 was a good revision. |

Question: Can I use a newer version of MMC? I've read that 7.6 was a good revision. Nope, you can't. From AIW 128 Pro and up, ATI uses Theater chip for capture. That is the current support to. AIW 128 uses three chips no longer supported. It is just too old. |

First, ATI never made an AIW 128 with 64 megs. They topped out at 32 with 16meg versions also available. The main difference between the two is the Pro is AGP 4x while the non pro is 2x. Both use the same Theater chip for capturing with the exception of the original 16meg version of the AIW128 Second, I know for a fact that you can use 7.7.01 with both the AIW128 and the 128Pro with no problems with the possible exception of the orignal 16meg AIW128, but even then 7.5 through 7.7.01 will usually work just fine. I'm using 7.7.01 on my 32meg AIW 128 (non pro) and have been since that version was released and I highly recommend it. I haven't tried any of the 8.x versions on it yet, but it's possible that they might work as well. D'n C |

After reading your post, I did a quick search and found 7.7.01 on an ATI mirror and immediately downloaded it and the Windows Media Format CODECs. Can't wait to get home this afternoon and try it out. Thanks again - and Happy Holidays. -moose |

Hi,
I've got the original ATI AIW128 16MB AGP2X with BT829 capture chip. I wanted to use this as a PVR device and maybe do some VCD or DVD burning. I don't want to upgrade cards because I like having the option for VFW capture driver such as MS Netmeeting. I got mixed results with ATI MMC 7.2 (mistakenly displays version 7.1 upon startup). This version doesn't support 48Khz audio, which I understand to be required for DVD format. Tried MMC 7.6 and 7.7 but they don't support my Brooktree capture chip, so I can watch tv but can't record anything. The buttons are greyed out. Don't have access to MMC 7.3 through 7.5 unless someone can provide an ATI link for me. Also, I will consider a quality open source PVR software, if ATI does not have a suitable program for my card. Recommendations and advice appreciated on this! Shawn |
