VIVO Composite with 6600GT
(I posted this a month ago or so but haven't got this fixed)
I've recently bought an nVidia GeForce 6600GT VIVO display adapter, and I connected my composite video to the adapter (and the audio to Line In). I am using Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005. I looked around the nVidia website, and found the page: http://www.nvidia.com/object/mce_extensions.html. The fourth image is exactly what I need. So I followed the instructions, I installed the MCE-enabled ForceWare and the NVIDIA DVD Decoder trial (although I don't think it's necessary to watch composite video) and restarted my computer. In the Media Center, I could find the nVidia display extension, I could even see the pages on screenshots 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (I couldn't see what's on screenshot 3 because I only use one monitor). However for some reason, the display setup skipped #4: whether I use S-Video, Composite or Component. Also, when I click on TV settings in MCE, it says I don't have a tuner; and I don't have "Watch TV" option in MCE. Note that in other programs, such as Virtual VCR or iuVCR, I can see TV from the WDM driver, only in Media Center it doesn't seem to find it. I would like to know how to get it to ask me that, or in any other way how can I use Composite on Windows Media Center 2005. Thanks in advance! |

A VIVO option in MCE will only import analog video from something like a VCR. -- Cari (MS-MVP) Printing & Imaging |

Yes, I want to import video from a VCR (like in the picture
http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/23032/...og-Y-Pr-Pb.jpg ). The problem is that this screenshot doesn't show up to me, while all the others do. |

I use composite actually, in the screenshot you can see it has
Component/S-Video/Composite. I currently use FlyDS with nVidia WDM Video Capture and it works well, but I want to use Windows MCE 2005's Watch TV feature, that's why I asked. Do you have any idea how to get it to work? I'm sure it's possible since the web site I linked to shows it is. |
