ATI Radeon 9600 All-In-Wonder supported in Vista's Media Center?
Hello!
How can I get Windows Vista RC1 b5600 to work with this old video card with its own TV tuner? I did not see All-In-Wonder drivers on ati.com. Vista and its Media Center didn't detect my TV tuner either. Thank you in advance. -- Phillip Pi Senior Software Quality Assurance Analyst ISP/Symantec Online Services, Consumer Business Unit Symantec Corporation www.symantec.com ----------------------------------------------------- Email: YMC (remove SYMC to reply by e-mail) ----------------------------------------------------- Please do NOT e-mail me for technical support.

ATI may put out drivers that allow you to watch and record TV but Media Center won't use them. Tom Lake |

Is MS not liking ATI or something? It's a hardware issue. The AIWs don't have a hardware MPEG encoder. The ATI Theater 650 does have this encoder and does work well with Media Center. Since the entire AIW line is now extinct, ATI might not have much incentive to make the drivers available. Tom Lake |

ATI needs to open its driver/software.

ATI may put out drivers that allow you to watch and record TV but Media Center won't use them. Tom Lake My AIW 9700 Pro works with MCE 2005, including the TV tuner. What does *NOT* work is most ATI driver versions. I am currently using Catalyst version 5-8 from last year. Why am I not using 6-8? Because experience has taught me never to upgrade ATI drivers because more often than not their installers do not work, causing many headaches. 5-8 is the latest that I know works well. I tried 5-10, 5-11, 5-12, 5-13, 6-1, and 6-5 and they do not. Even with 5-8, there were some hacks needed to get them to work. Specifically, after installing the drivers, I had to go to the E:\ATI\SUPPORT\5-8_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_25203\WDM_ALL directory and edit the WDM_SP\WDM_SP.INI and WDM_NSP\WDM_NSP.INI files because they forgot to include WIN_XP_MCE in the Req_OS list, and if IIRC it also needed an Install_WINXPMCE section I found on the web somewhere. It *DEFINATELY* has some kind of mpeg acceleration because recompressing DVDs with DVDShrink is limited by the speed of my 16x reader, and doesn't use much CPU. Unfortunately I have not gotten it to work with Vista. The Beta 2 and RC1 drivers don't even work right for using it like a normal video card -- I had to use the Beta1 drivers to get over 1280x1024 and get any decent display speed in Beta 2. -- glugglug ------------------------------------------------------------------------ glugglug's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/member.php?userid=17770 View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/showthread.php?t=583055 http://www.techarena.in |
