AIW 9000/Pro Capture problem...need help!

pheonix rising

I recently bought this card and tried Plutonium XP 8.1 drivers. hoping that may help eliminate macrovision, but still get the same errors or capture icon stops working. is there any way to bypass this? i have a digital video stablizer i bought 10 years ago. that works, but the picture still shows some artifacts as it's playing. i'm hoping that if there is a way to bypass it using software, it may clean this up.

i'm using Win2K/sp2 P4 3.0 512mb Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000(-L) v2.0

here is some info about the card:

The drivers were never tested on a Radeon 9000, and I only ever got the macrovision disabled on a Radeon 7200, never on anything newer; sorry

will there be any work done for the AIW 9000 in the near future?

jeff (cyborg) hasnt been making his plutonium drivers for a long time, does omegas drivers not handle this?

found that if someone could patch this file ativmvxx.ax, then it may be possible to bypass macrovision. i was able to tweek the file just enough to make the screen goblank, but the record button did not grey out. let me know if this the right way to go.

I have the latest v6.14.10.6300 (NSP) and v6.14.10.6246 (SP) hacked drivers to bypass the macrovision detection. These WILL enable capturing of macrovision protected analog sources.
