Drifting video, does All-Wonder 9800 Pro fix that problem
I currently use the All in Wonder Rage128 GL (AGP) on my Pentium III system.
One thing that erks me is that when I output movie video to my TV monitor in the required 800x600 mode, the picture on both PC montor and TV monitor drifts sometimes to the left and sometimes down, cutting off part of the movie. For awhile, I was chasing back to the computer to reposition and center the video; but now I've decided its not worth the hassle and don't want to do that anymore. I will be upgrading to a Pentium 4 system fairly soon and still need to decide on its video adaptor. My primary question is if I select the ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO, will my video (mode) output to a TV monitor be stable or will it also drift. Who has experience doing that and what are the results. The other reason I may select the ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO is to improve video data capture. The All in Wonder Rage128 GL (AGP) with Pentium III drops too many frames providing jerky replay and I'd like improvement in that area. Another question is will a less expensive ATI card (such as ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9600XT, ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9600, or ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9200) be suitable to correct the problems I've had and the provide improvement I want? Any comments on lesser products than the -IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO would be appreciated. I am considering Averkey to stop the TV drifting problem, but realize that won't help PC/hard drive video capture. Thanks for any help Roger |

Scratch my comments about the ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO. After reading the
specs, that's not the card I'm wondering about. Looks like the ALL-IN-WONDER 9700 PRO or AIW 9700 is the card I'd be buying if the TV output works better than my Rage.

Roger You would be much better off with the 9800 or 9600 AIW .. they are more future proof and DX9 compliant which the 9700 AIW is not. regards @ndrew |

ATI's web spec sheet is a bit skimpy on what the AIW Radeon 9800 Pro has for
ports. On a third look, I found a picture elsewhere from a web search showing the ports I've been use to on aiw product. My main question is still about picture drift when playing back video in the mode required for output to a tv monitor. "@ndrew" andrewratinternodedotondotnet wrote in message ...

The 9700 Pro is a very good card, as to whether it's R300 core can cut the mustard with DX9 gaming etc remains to be seen. Personally I always prefer to go with hardware which is release after software in this case the DX9 is on the market. regards @ndrew |

My primary question is if I select the
ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO, will my video (mode) output to a TV monitor be stable or will it also drift. Who has experience doing that and what are the results. The other reason I may select the ALL-IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO is to improve video data capture. The All in Wonder Rage128 GL (AGP) with Pentium III drops too many frames providing jerky replay and I'd like improvement in that area. I can assure you that this drifting problem is not an issue on Radeon series cards. I can confirm that after running both 8500LE and 9000mobility with my Sony TV. I use them for movie playback, so no problem in that area. I however have never tried AIW cards, and can't comment on recording performance. However, i think even radeon9200 AIW won't haave any problem with dropped frames on a P4 system. (it depends on cpu and hdd speed as well). Choose 9200AIW for best value, IF YOU DON'T PLAY GAMES. For gaming go for 9600XT AIW, which are expensive. HTH |

Any comments on lesser products than the -IN-WONDERŽ 9800 PRO would be appreciated. I bought an AVerMedia DVD EZMaker USB 2.0 before I got my AIW card as a present. I haven't used the AIW for captures because the AVerMedia device does such a good job. Best piece of hardware I own. I am considering Averkey to stop the TV drifting problem, but realize that won't help PC/hard drive video capture. Thanks for any help Roger |

Personally I always prefer to go with hardware which is release after software in this case the DX9 is on the market. Look up the specs on the 9700 vs the 9800--the only real change was one to knock the wind out of nvidia's marketing department. If the 9700 can't "cut the mustard" then neither can the 9800. In any case "DirectX 9 compliant" means that it passes a test suite provided by Microsoft for the purpose of determining said compliance. Do you have information that suggests that the 9700 does not pass that test suite? regards @ndrew -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
