Video cards with GOOD Svideo TV-out? How is ATI cause' Nvidia seems to suck at it.

[brxndxn]

I use a little Celeron 366 (overclocked to 450mhz) as my media pc to watch divx and play mp3s. It works wonderful because it is tiny and made for tv-out. The software supports overscanning (video out that fills an entire TV screen without black borders).

I tried using a better computer with an Nvidia Geforce 2 GTS 64mb video card, but it does not support overscanning (rather it does, but Nvidia's drivers do not). So, I junked it cause' the outside $25 piece of software that I could use does not run reliably. I was always having to restart the computer and manually start the software even after the software was already started.

So, what is a good cheap video card that supports overscanning? Also, do current ATI video cards support overscanning?

yeah ati's drivers have overscan. from what i remember of my nvidia card it had overscan too.

you might be able to use powerstrip.

That Celeron can play a Divx movie ok? Hmmm... you'd think a 366 Mhz Pentium 2 would be able to then wouldn't you??? Maybe not... my laptop with a P2 366 won't play them smoothly... maybe it has more to do with the video?

Yeah, how come a Celeron 366 can play divx? Last time I tried to help some overseas friends play a divx file on their machine, it was a real slideshow, and they have an AMD k6-2 @ 333, which HAS to be faster than that Celeron.
