It appears that I will be using older nVidia Detonator drivers for my GeForce card until my next video card purchase of an ATI Radeon.

As far as I know, ATI drivers do not force Macrovision on consumers or otherwise fail to work with Conextant bt878 encoders.

I always buy computer equipment with Conextant bt878 or bt879 encoders for television input or output because of their widespread driver and software support (other than nVidia).

ATI all in wonder outputs macrovision.

 

I cant speak for the bt8x8 chipset.

never mind my lat post, I did not read fully the thread.

 

This is pretty sad when DVD's won't play if a BT8x8 input device is installed, especially because it;s not like the capture dervice can capture the DVD on screen from the overlay.............

 

 

Doen't seem to make sense.

 

Macrovision should be illegal.
