Thx, more generic link added... (encoder is working for me)

No_Style

Any word on Theater 550 support? I know ATI has coupled that chip with Cyberlink software, but I've heard some rumblings about a MMC release which would support the chip nonetheless. Am I mistaken?

Veridian3

Full T550 support in this, as well as multiview

No_Style

Really? I wonder why they didn't mention it in the Release Notes (unless I overlooked it, which I doubt). I guess I can pick up the Sapphire Theatrix card now and install MMC 9.13 for TVTuner goodness!

Thanks for the verification, Stu. Much appreciated.

i think there is a problem here, my video input is not recognised on my X800XT PE and there is no way to select it...

So sad

H3X4D3C1M4L

Great. Totally borked MPEG file playback.


*sigh*

Veridian3

Have you uninstalled the 9.08 before installing? Also did you install all of the components for MMC + the Driver and WDM?

Veridian3

What doesnt work about it? Whats the file you're using... where was it recorded? I've been recording Mpeg in SW and HW with this build as well as doing playback and it seems to be working fine for me (T550 / X1800AIW / X800GT aiw)

H3X4D3C1M4L

What doesn't work is Windows Media player nor any media player, MMC included, will play any .mpg or mpeg files back. I got the video working but no audio.

Recording I haven't tried yet as I've been fixing this problem

Veridian3

Very strange indeed...not seeing anything like that here on either of my systems.

philou

Yes i did, i think they must have forgot the people that need this input option.

Can t find the PAL SECAM NTSC selection aswell, but i do get the image with the wrong format.

H3X4D3C1M4L

Oh I figured out what it was.... Driver Cleaner gone berzerk I think (too many filters).

I'll plug in TV and test it and see how it goes.

pr0digal jenius

It won't recognize my HDTV Wonder card at all. This has been a problem for a while now, but I don't much care, as I have a TV in the living room...only, now that TV broke.


When starting the TV app, I am greeted with this:
"Unable to Start TV -
TV Player failed to initialize. Check the Windows Device Manager to ensure that the correct video driver has been installed and is working properly before attempting to restart TV"

Please god tell me I'm not going to have to get an ATi graphics card on here to make it work

magnus33

In a word complete crap.

I love ati but there loseing it .

Ever since the digital sound your tv stutters or freezes when the harddrive is used.
Now your stuck with tv on demand on all the time which makes the sound and freezeing 10 times worse.

Of course your recording no longer has a pause just start and stop and the tv picture has gotten worse.

Of hand this and the drivers which mess big time with 3d apps and its a total joke.

pr0digal jenius

Ugh....re-tried, and NONE of the MMC works on my machine....the launcher workks [yippee?], but all the actual programs crash hardcore and cough up things like "unable to initialize"


UPDATE:

Got it working. Try installing video drivers AFTER MMC if you're having problems

BONEHEAD

Well I 'm going back to 9.08 My sound does not work unless I enable it manualy from suround mixer. It could be because this is an 8500? Plus it is defaulting to Mono even using the input dongle. Not happy at all.

sigh...

i'll give this 9.13's a whirl as well on my 9600XT AIW..... but i do not have high hopes from what i still am hearing about MMC and the whole Forced Digital Audio (CAN WE PLEASE get at least an option to choose between D audio or line in analog audio? )..

please ATI.. check this link ~> Come on ATI.. Little more work on the AIW series please.

This release is abysmal. It incorrectly recognizes my X800 pro as an all-in-wonder and doesn't allow for the correct audio inputs for tv capture (via VIVO). This is pretty unacceptable. When I try to register for support on the ATI website, I cannot even select the correct card, as ATI seems to be unaware of its existence. ASUS AX800PRO/TVD.

pr0digal jenius

Works fine now, and eazylook isfixed, as is the remote wonder support [a curse upon my machie in all releases back to 9.03]



.....still a pretty useless program if you have an audigy however

Judas

imo, i hate Easylook..

all i run is the basic TV .... just give me the ability to change channel, adjust volume... and record. And allow me to schedule...

all that other crap is useless.....

Also they fix it so that if your monitor is primary and tv is secondary, then having the tv window on the primary, theater mode on 2ndary... but only channel information showing up on the primary little window.. nothing on the 2ndary?

TV on demand can be switched off in some situations. I manly use Composite connectors for mine and thats a case of ...

Go into setup. Then into channel list. Select the connection that you dont want to use TV on Demand for. Right click it, select properties and then choose "never use tv on demand on this connector".

(The above is from memory so may not be word for word but should get you there)

Hopefully that will help ease your problem.

As for the stuttering. Its not something i've seen on my system. Whats your system specs? Please include driver versions being used etc so ATI can try to replicate.

Veridian3

I'll check with ATI what the best way forward is with this... could well be that Asus didnt want MMC support (probably the case if your card came with Powercinema or some such app).

blackdog

I have the same problem with my x800xl vivo card

tranle

With this release (9.13) my GUIDE+ seems to be broken now: When you open up GUIDE+ the TV does not embed itself any more and when you select different channel through the GUIDE+, it does not change TV channel.

magnus33

Alas that only seems to be fore svideo and compasite and not reqular cable.

Specs are: ati aiw 9700/asus k8n motherboard/1.5gb ram/audgy2/promise ultra 133tx ide card/ 2 80gb maxtor 1 160gb wd 1 200gb maxtor all ide /465 power supply/amd 2800+ 64/ lg 4163 dvd rw/hp 604 dvdrw.

Microsoft ide drivers and the latest ati drivers and software, comfirmed its not power or the ide card issue or over heating in any form. (windows xp)

Nforce ide makes the problems worse which is no suprise.

Oh if i delete a large file or move one from one drive to another the shound stutters and goes out of sync.

Thanks for anyhelp.
