What program for ATI VIVO?

[JC316]

This is one thing that always PISSED ME OFF about ATI cards is that they don't have a program to use the AVIVO. Does anyone know of a program that will work with the VIVO on a 2900XT? I used to use showshifter, but it isn't compatible with the 2900. I have tried Windows media center, but it doesn't want to work either.

2900 XT
Windows Vista Home Premium x64.

It works and it is freaking awesome!:rockout:

ATI is a gift to all people who use their cards for more than gaming!

Get the driver. Use this GUI!

Does that allow TV Streaming? All I want to do is play my gamecube on my monitor.

Oh, I was confused. I thought you wanted a video converter!


Shouldn't you be able to use an s-video cable to plug into the dongle that comes with the card?

Right, but I need a program to display it. Unless there is some way to kick it over to TV IN mode, I have no idea.

[Dr. Spankenstein]

You mean it doesn't appear in the CCC Display manager pulldown when you plug it in as I descibed?

Have you tried a 3rd party video app like AMCap (http://noeld.com/programs.asp?cat=video)?

[JC316]

It tells me that I have no capture card installed, just like everything else.

[Dr. Spankenstein]

Seems like it might be an issue with the AVStream driver or the WDM drivers.

I know the x850xt pe in my GF's rig has a VIVO chip on it...would I be able to use that program for conversion? From what I'm getting it's more for hooking up VCR's and such...but if I could put her GPU to work for converting video... Though from what I'm reading I must have at least an x1k for it to work which is kind of a bummer cause I wouldn't mind her PC converting vids to her Zune format quicker than the P4 is capable of! :D

Sound like the WDM drivers may not be installed. Go into ATIs folder. Usually C:\ATI\SUPPORT\[version] and then the WDM folder and re-run the installer. After that try this program.

That should allow you to choose the input source and view it in a window or fullscreen.

i tried to get avivo conversion working a while back .. in the end converting the 4 dvds full of movies using my cpu was faster than working around the buggy implementation with limited software support :(

Can i hook up my video camera ( Its a Canon hi8 ) to that s-video port on the back of my hd3870 and transfer home videos to my PC that way? Vivo is video-in video-out right? Buddy of mine was able to hookup his Camcorder to his vid card and transfer all home videos to his PC. He said he used Pinnacle app

[Dr. Spankenstein]

That's what they made it for. Plus the video converter lets you take that and convert it to quite a few formats for archiving or distribution.

I had no such problems when I utilized Ray's Xcoder front-end.:confused:
