Re: Video Cards
Here's mine:
DirectX 8.1 as standard in WinXPSP1, don't upgrade.
QT6.3: Do the "full or recomended" installation not minimal.
QT settings, Video: safe option won't do, check everything else exept DirectDraw on secondary monitor. Also under connection, check "allow multiple streams".
Matrox Powerdesk:
Multi-Display setup: 2displays, streched mode+ 1 feature display
Video Playback settings: Use video overlay-checked
Use PureVideo/DVDMax-checked
Assist video motion compensation-unchecked
PureVideo/DVDMax settings: Preserve aspect ratio, video window, 4:3
Uncheck all advanced settings (preserve source cropping etc.)
Help> Troubleshooting Settings: check the first two.
Not all of these make a difference, just try them.
VERY IMPORTANT is the VIDEO CODEC you use: Try QT DV first. NOT all codecs work for full screen TVout, .AVI with Sorensen and Cinepak compression codecs works well too.
There are a few things that are set different, so you may as well want to try changing those, but I cannot guarantee they will work.
Having the system set this way I'm capable of full resolution (and of good quality) video from the two outs (video and S-video) to whatever device I want, for the moment it's a TV set, I'll expand that in the future to a plasma screen or LCD projector, but the image quality is gerat and dead on sync.
Hope this helps.
