Windows server2003 compatibility???????

probably not the ideal platform for this kind of thing...

why did you choose 2003 server?

Should "capture" work on my g4 ti4400 when using server 2003??

Where are the capture drivers

Thanks,

Server 2003 is not a problem - it uses the same drivers for all hardware as
XP (I use this myself).

So you should be fine with capture, I have had no problems at all with this
O/S.
P.S. Have you looked up the web guide on how to turn XP's look and feel ON
with 2003?

I have a dual xeon system. My understanding is, I have to use server2003 if
I want to enable hyperthreading on the xeons. Operating systems then see 4
processors, only server 2000 and 2003 supprot 4 processors.

If I'm wrong please correct me

Although you're thinking of 2 CPUs and hyperthreading as 4 CPUs, it is
really only two real CPUs as far as the PC is concerned and XP Pro will
recognize two CPUs AND the hyperthreading situation - and yes, you will see
it correctly displayed in the Device Manager.

I certainly wouldn't use a Server O/S to do what you want.... it's so locked
down. If it's within 30 days of purchase return it to MS and get your $s
back, and get XP Pro.

Install Direct X, XP video drivers and latest capture drivers.

Technically, he is wrong... I have dozens of 2000 servers running on HT
Xeons with no problem. The only thing that sucks, is performance monitoring
is wack on 2000, whereas XP and 2003 have native libraries to handle the
logical processor addressing.

If you have 1 Xeon with HT on, XP will show you TWO processors in the device
Manager. If you have 2 Xeons with HT, XP will show you 4. But... it knows
the difference between the physical processor and the logical processor, *
provided that the bios on the board was coded in such a way that the OID's
on the physical/logical processors are presented correctly. If it is not,
then your milage may vary.

But I would do the same thing anyway. Go with XP. the hyperthreading doesnt
really get you that much in the end anyway. In some circumstances, HT will
hurt your performance.

Return 2003, get XP (and spend the extra money you get back on bears....)

and you should have a much, much easier time with this project. I would say,
it sounds like your hardware is a bit overkill for vidcap... the XP2200+
would probably fair just fine for that application.

Hello,

I am new to this, so I may be missing somthing.
I have snapstream installed on my machine. It is a "Tivo" software. When I
do the setup it tells me my machine has no capture card or is missing the
drivers.

How can I view the signal I'm sending into the computer by s-video from my
sat receiver?

PS. I've got it set up to look like xp.

Thank-you very much!

Sorry I am not familiar with the software but I would lay money the problem
is not to do with the O/S version you are using.
