They "should" affect the VDub capture, but some have said the settings only take effect when doing MPEG-2 hardware capturing. There's a guy on another forum playing with this card recently, but he seems to be really busy lately and hasn't posted his findings yet. So I dunno.

You found a working driver after using a bad one and you aren't sharing? :| :)

Sorry I was not at home.

ATI DRIVER (not good, well for me) on their website is: 9-7_xp32-64_t550-600-650_wdm.exe

This is revision 9.7, here is the link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/downloa...r=true&rev=9.7

The driver found (WORKING) is : 10-4_xp32-64_unified_wdm.exe

This is revision 10.4, here is the link: http://www.touslesdrivers.com/index....3&v_code=28064

This site is in french sorry, but it is pretty intuitive. Download is "telechargement"

I'm running Windows XP SP3 (32bits)

Excellent, thank you!

Indeed, the version that I downloaded from their site last year was 9.7.

I found a forum post (about the 650) that indicated where to find your driver version on the AMD site. It shows up if you choose Theater 750 instead of Theater 550. Two ridiculous things about this:

1. Theater 550 is in the "Products Supported" list on that page. (So why doesn't it show up when you search their site for 550 drivers??)
2. Theater 750 is not in the "Products Supported" list on that page -- only on the Win7 driver page, which removes the 550 from the list. (WTF?!)

File hashes match your link, so yours is also trustworthy, at the moment.

Ahhhh, good then! Your link is even better than mine, being directly from AMD.

And yes, as you said, I thought the 750 was for win7 only, since there was no XP driver.

Hope this can help someone!

Hi again guys!

I'm back at work on this. As said, I got everything setup. I captured lots of videos from 8mm using virtualdub and lagarith.

Now I'm into avisynth and QTGMC and more.

I would like good video playback on a computer (I will probably keep unprocessed files as archive, in case I would like TV playback someday). From readings and your suggestions..

I concluded X264 and AAC would be a good way to go, done in my Avisynth script along with QTGMC. (Unless you recommend something else!)

Is that possible? To sum up, I'd like to take my "uncompressed" Lagarith captured avi file and get to the desired result, in 1 operation.

Thanks in advance

PS: I saw all your proposed scripts before for correction, but I don't know if I'll have the patience to learn and master everything. I'll see during the process (I have 2 young children, and my free time is somewhat limited heheh). I think the new captures with ATI TV THEATER 500 look not bad (or better than previous captures!)

HI again!

Few questions here...

1-I get green screen/no video but sound after going through qtgmc in virtualdub (with avisynth script). What might be the issue?

Here is the script

AVISource("01.avi")
crop(10,0,-6,-6).AddBorders(8,2,8,4)
AssumeTFF()
QTGMC()

In VirtualDub, I use fast recompress for video, and direct stream copy for audio.

2-Talking about sound, I only get sound from 1 channel. How can a duplicate mono sound to both channels at the same time?

3-Should I start a new thread since it's already 4 pages long and that the points discussed before are kind of old?

Thanks in advance!
