I've gotten Video-out to work on my ATI Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO (not using the S-Video port...haven't tried it) However, right now I want to connect Sony Digital Camera and use it for both video retreaval and internet camera. I have a K7 1.33ghz, Epox 8k7A mobo, and 256mb of PC2100 ddr ram, so i can definetly support it w/ my current hardware. I also have the latest/official ATI drivers, Directx8.0a, latest/official VIA 4-in-1 drivers. I tried two software titles, and neither one worked. One is the Video-in program that is part of the ATI Multimedia Pack that came with the video card. And I tried Netmeeting to see if it would detect my camera for internet chat. Neither worked. Perhaps I'm not using the right software, or I need some type of installation. But I don't want to be second guessing. Are there any online tuturials, software, or suggestions you may have? Thanks.

Radeon cards don't support netmeeting due to lack of vfw support, I've heard that it works with CuSeeMe v5.0 which uses WDM direct show rather than vfw, but I don't know of anyone who actually uses it.

How are you connecting your camera to the Radeon?, you should be able to use the composite video-in and pick the correct input from the ATI application.
