Sparda Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Is this not a All-in-wonder card? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ace_ventura Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 no it is not an all in wonder card, but it did come with the dongle that has composite and s-video in and outs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reflux Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Its probably a VIVO card. It should appear as a capture source on w/e software you use. ATI should have software for it, I know they have Catalyst Media Center for their TV tuners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reflux Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 If orb sees it as a device it should work. But dunno Orb doesn't officially support cards without hardware mpeg-2 decoders. You might want to post this question on the Orb forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure mabye Windows Media Player too. yeah thats what i thought too but where in those players do you go, in mediaplayer i did a file open, etc, and i looked around there no place that has that sort of an option, so i dunno, maybe it just doesn't work and ill have to get a video capture device, i was just hoping to be able to get that to work so i didn't have to.

Reflux Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Actually looking into it wmp can't play video from capture cards. I'm sure ATI has software though, I know they have Catalyst Media Center for their TV tuners, not sure if it works with your card but give it a shot. Also maybe you can try Sapphire technical support. Its called ATI Multimedia Center now i guess, this link is for window XP, not sure what OS you have but you can find it under the driver section for x1900 on amd's website. http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/mmc9-16.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
