ati x1650 pro
I just picked up an X1650 pro at FutureShop today. My goal was to breath a
little life into my AGP based system. My old card was Nvidia FX 5900 XT, and found it getting slow at the newer games...I also used the S video input on the old card to watch the dish via nvida capture driver. My hangup is that my new card is little faster the the old card, yeah! but to my dismay it don't look like it supports S video input?? bummer.... Can anyone shed a little light on this.... I thought this feature was standard issue on all cards, Nvidia based cards always have had it... Prdtr |

How many pins does the "S-Video" port have on the back of your X1650 Pro? If
it has four pins, then it's output-only. If it has nine pins, it is a VIVO port with capture capability. I'm surprised the X1650 actually turned out to be a little faster than your FX 5900 XT. Should have gone for something like this for a meaningful speed improvement: http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=20526 -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

it has 9 pins... sounds like we're getting somewhere... Where do I get the
capture driver, and is there something missing hardware wise,, dongle perhaps? "First of One" root@localhost wrote in message ...

The WDM capture driver can be downloaded by itself he
http://ati.amd.com/support/drivers/xp/radeonxip-xp.html . However, it should have been included if you downloaded the 35 MB Catalyst driver package previously. Note that's just the driver. You will still need a WDM-compliant app to capture the video. You are free to use whatever app you want (like Adobe Premiere). A basic open-source app is Virtual VCR: http://virtualvcr.sourceforge.net/ . The dongle cable is available he http://shopati.ca/product.asp?sku=2702995 . I'm surprised if it wasn't included in the box, though. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

thanks, you been a huge help, I didn't get the dongle you showed on the
link, however I have the MSI dongle from the old card, it should do the same thing vid in/out for both S and composite. the proggie i been using to watch the dish is called KMplayer, it is open sourse aswell. It worked marvellously with the 5900XT, you simply chose the driver from within the app and your up and running... should there be any hardware detection happening when you install the dongle like the nvidia card?

[CUT] I thought this feature was standard issue on all cards, Nvidia based cards always have had it... Prdtr Hi, I think there are different versions, VIVO and not. I may be wrong but probably non VIVO ones have a missing chip. I also think the rear S-Video connector has more than 4 pins simply because of the component video out... So no video input. :-( Armando |

Before I get your hopes up too high...
As Armando pointed out, it seems ATi also produces a component video cable with the same 9-pin connection, as shown he http://shopati.ca/product.asp?sku=2766464 and in page 106 of the X1600 series user's guide: http://www2.ati.com/manuals/rv530_radeonx1600.pdf . In fact, this cable may be included in the box. Since you already have an MSI VIVO dongle, it doesn't hurt to try it first, but don't be surprised if VIVO doesn't work... -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

I thank everyone for their efforts, the card went back this morning for a
refund. It just wasn't worth the time and money spent for something that doesn't suit my needs. I guess I'll hold off until I can spring for a new PCIe platform... PrDtR "prdtr" wrote in message ...
