AIW 8500DV problems recording
I have a Radeon All-in-Wonder 8500DV and am having problems with it. When I
record a program it records the video fine, but there is no sound. I upgraded MMC to 7.7.0.1 and now I don't even have 'record' in the application controls. Can someone please point me to the proper set of drivers/software that will enable me to record tv WITH sound? It seems I've had nothing but problems with the AIW drivers and software. Is this typical of ATI software in general? Or is the 8500DV just a bad card. I'm seriously considering ditching the card (the tv capture anyway) in favor of the WinTV card. Thanks for any help, Jeff PS. Remove _nospam to reply. |

No, I have a dsl connection. I mentioned buying because I thought this was
the only alternative. ati.com mentions needing the original installation cd for radeon 9000/9200/9500/9600/9700/9800 series. However, looking at the website again that appears to only be for the DVD module. Will the 7.6 dvd version work with the newer MMC? Jeff "Claw Jammer" wrote in message ... In article , says... Do you know if ATI.com is the only place to buy the CD? I hate the idea of buying a CD for $10 and then paying $10 for S&H. Not to mention then having to wait two weeks before I get it. Jeff I'm not sure, but why buy? Are you a modem user? |

says... I'm seriously considering ditching the card (the tv capture anyway) in favor of the WinTV card. Nah...don't do that. I've been looking over some hardware encoded mpeg2's lately, and I'll stack my digital cable MMC encoded SVCD captures up against any of them. Once you get the drivers correctly installed, it should be trouble free. I have an 8500DV, and it works perfectly. I would suggest blowing out everything ATI from your add/remove control panel applet,rebooting as required. Then download Driver Cleaner 1.9 from http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/ Install it, and use the pulldown menu to select and clean all ATI categories. I would really think about upgrading to the new 8.x series MMC, and installing the new Catalyst 3.6 drivers. Captures have really improved in the 8.x iteration, and there are some exciting new features as well, if your CPU has plenty of oomph. If you haven't done so, you'll need to install DX9. If you use the PAL format, you might want to wait until Microsoft gets the PAL bug straightened out of DX9b. If you use NTSC, it won't matter...go ahead and install it. Once you've installed DX9, you may then do the following... Install the WDM capture drivers: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-captu...-10-6207v1.exe When prompted to reboot, hit cancel. Install the latest Catalyst drivers: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-...10027c-efg.exe Reboot when prompted. Install the Control Panel: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/control-...10027c-efg.exe Reboot. Install the DAO/MDAC Component Package: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mmc-8-1-0-0-dao-mdac.exe No reboot required. In fact, the install window just kind of peters out and that's the end of it...no notification. Install MMC 8.5: http://www2.ati.com/drivers/mmc-8-5-0-0.exe Reboot as required. Install the Remote Wonder driver pack, which is exclusive for MMC 8.5 http://www2.ati.com/drivers/remote-w...-5-english.exe Reboot as required. You should be ready to go. And of course, make sure your patch cords are kosher. Good Luck Jeffrey...let us know how you fair.

Here's another tip I picked up after several months of experimentation: If you are capturing mpeg2, turn off the Pulldown feature, and set the interlace option to "encode interlaced". Unless you are capturing solely to view on your computer, de-interlacing is not really necessary, introduces artifacts, and is a waste of CPU. The pulldown hogs CPU time too. Making these adjustments resolved a problem I was having with jerky motion. If you are not using the firewire DV option, you can turn off the DV dip switches on the card...that'll save some AGP bandwidth. Hi Claw Jammer. I've been following this thread because I too am having problems upgradiing my drivers. I have tried all the drivers on the ATI site, but have always had to revert to the original CD drivers. the WDM seem to install ok the radeon drivers don't want to take after restarting. I have stripped every ati reference out ot my PC. I've gone into the registry and removed all ATI Keys, but one, the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\WDMCapture, won't let me delete that one for some reason. This all started because every 2-3 months my capture drivers in Control Panel/System/Hardware would disapear and I would be unable to capture with MMC 7.x. I'd have to do the ati remove and re-install thing, so far 6 times. If you could shed some light this way it's really a dasperate situation at this point. |

If you have a high bandwidth connection, maybe you can try downloading the full driver suite, at http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-w2k-catalyst- 7-94-030917m-011434c.exe Or, you could try the new Omega driver suite, http://downloads.driverheaven.net/om...mega_2496b.exe You'll need to download WDM drivers seperately for Omega... http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-captu...-10-6217v1.exe Short of that, I would refer you to the Rage3D forum, where alot of ATI Gurus and even ATI employees monitor and post. http://www.rage3d.com/ Let us know how you fair. Cheers, CF |
