eVGA Personal Cinema NO VIDEO in LIVE TV, NO COMP VIDEO (just sound)

Problem... No LIVE TV or COMP picture, just sound. Records both.

Everything works fine except I see no video in the ForceWare
Multimedia application
for TV and COMP (have not tried S-VID in). I can record a TV or COMP
input
and then I have both audio and video when playing back the .MPG file
if I drag and
drop the file on the Multimedia desktop icon (Videos appears int he
left column) or
from the "Video Clips" selection after selecting the personal cinema
home button.
If I open ForceWare Multimedia via the TV button, then select a
recorded show, it
does not have a TV picture, just sound. Like I said, if I drag and
drop the same
..MPG file on the Mulitmedia icon
("C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\ForceWare\Multimedia\NvMM.exe"
-p Multimedia)
then I get picture and sound from the recorded MPG file.

Same problem when using drivers on original CD which came with
personal cinema, I
believe v56.77 and WDM v2.13. I was told by eVGA tech support to try
the latest
V61.77 and WDM v2.20. Same problem.

Only one monitor connected (Dell 1100)
Nothing connected to component or S-Video outputs.

Problem on two different systems, with two different FX 5700 Personal
Cinema Systems

----------------------------------
Video Card

Current Serial Number 45332000389 (previous returned system
45332000383)
Same problem both cards.

Problem also occurred on a second computer, which is an HP Pentium 4

I am having the same problem. Anyone know of a solution. Please post.

Try uninstall driver / WDM from SafeMode or DriverCleaner if need it.
http://www.driverheaven.net/cleaner/
Remove all nVidia or similar driver.
Remove all or similar WDM.

Install with latest driver -

Use the original WDM driver from CD DISC.

Thanks for the advice, but still no luck. I dont think it has anything
to do with the actual drivers. I think it has more to do with the
Foreceware Multimedia software application that I am using to try to
view live television. I opened up another video capture program, and I
CAN see live tv image on that. I am trying to find some settings on the
Foreceware Program, but there are none. anyone have any idea? Thanks!

Sorry it did not help.
From what you have describe, it not driver / WDM issue since you indicated
it viewable from a capture software.
Maybe someone have play with *Multimedia Software* that you using can answer
your problem.

BTW-
What is the Multimdia Software you are referring to? Do you have a link to
it?
Most likely it that software issue.

Hi

i have the same problem with this crappy "Forceware Multimedia"
TV-application. No live TV and no video-in. With WINDVR (Intervideo
Corp) everything just works fine.
It seems to be a problem with the Forceware registry settings.
I tried to reinstall Forceware but with no sucess

Thomas Altmeyer

Hi,

after many hours later and a lot of reboots i found a unforeseen solution.
I installed a trial version of "Beyond TV" a PVR-software with a lot
of features. BUT... the software was unable to OPEN the video out
overlay window... Because i am in no way able to debug such stream
related failure's in windows and i was able to look TV with WINDVR
, wich must be using some other way to deliver the video signal to
the desktop windows, i uninstalled Beyond TV.
ET voila, totally challenging and hardly explainable the video
overlay in Forceware's Live-TV started working.........
Maybe that there was a default "filter" entry in the registry missing
and Beyond TV's uninstaller simply wrote the "missing" entry back...

Regards,
Thomas Altmeyer
