    ATI 8500DV Defective or Flawed???

    I went out and bought a Fortissimo II sound card today and installed it. And still could not change the level of the sound recorded in the mpeg capture. Someone at Rage3D pointed to a registry settings for the ATI software that fixed the problem... Quoting him (Erratic1): "Unless I've missed...

    ATI 8500DV Defective or Flawed???

    Maybe you have not read the preceding post where I mentioned: I have tried with the sound card mixer to see if I could lower the sound recorded and it has no effect what ever I try. The mpeg encoding section in the GPU is recording the sound at a too high level, the sound card is for playback...

    ATI 8500DV Defective or Flawed???

    The sound card does not capture audio on the 8500DV for tv capture , composite and s-vhs input. I have tried with the sound card mixer to see if I could lower the sound recorded and it has no effect what ever I try. I can capture sound through the sound card but it has to be done after the...

    ATI 8500DV Defective or Flawed???

    I can do many things to defeat the problem but I don't think using an external vcr and patching the sound through an external parametric equalizer to record a tv broadcast is what I like most since I paid $600 for a card that was suppose to do it. Using an external audio card won't work. I can...

    ATI 8500DV Defective or Flawed???

    There is a very big difference between mono output from a vcr and hifi stereo from an other.... Dynamic Headroom and Frequency response. Mono will have a range in frequency of about 50 to 5,000 hz and 40 db dynamic range on a mono vcr, but it will hit from 20 to 20,000 hz on a hifi vcr with a...

    ATI 8500DV flawed or defective????

    Just an update and a good one.... The store today called me and asked that I bring the system I use to do my capturing.... I get there, after the usual sterilisation, the tech installs the 8500DV, loads drivers and go get a vcr to test it.... I watch him start the hookup.... Then I just could...
