| 327289 | 2005-02-22 00:31:00 | I recently bought a new gfx card that has VIVO capabilities. A MSI brand Nvidia 6600 GT to be exact. Card works great, no problems there. I wanted to be able to record videos from my PS2. So after a few hardware/cord and driver problems, I finally installed the right stuff and went out and bought a PS2>S-video plug. I used a TV tuner/recording program and I finally got the signal from my PS2. I get no sound, but that will be fixed when I get an RCA audio to 3.5mm sound plug converter thingy. It seems I have everything figured out by myself, but when I was doing some test recordings of some games, I get a full "green screen" immediately after I press the button to begin. It's only during the recording process, and when I switch the tuner program from fullscreen to windowed I can see frames from the game flicker for a second. At first I was just using the generic MSI tuner program to fool around with it, where I had the green-screen problem. Then I got a copy of WinDVR3, and I still have the same problems. Anyone know what's with the green screen? Drivers are fully updated for both my video card and the nvidia capture utility. I'm not sure what else I can do, I'm hoping someone has heard of this problem before and knows a solution. Thanks for any advice offered. |

| 327290 | 2005-02-22 01:08:00 | It'd be better using a tv tuner like leadtek expert/deluxe as the PVR. And using the CVBS option / input on it, in the tv tuner program. Altho, it might be getting that green screen coz of macrovision or something. It'll be cheaper just getting a dvd or dvd burner... |

I get the green screen while recording, but when I play the recorded file, it is completely normal video of what I couldn't see. |

| 327292 | 2005-02-22 04:01:00 | CVBS is an input for the leadtek tv tuner cards. Macrovision is usually to stop u playing dvds on anything else but what the dvd is playing on (ie: if u have a dvd player on your pc, macrovision will sometimes stop it from playing on a TV, if u have video out, on your videocard. Some drivers u install also stop u doing this. BUT there is a way around this). I wouldnt worry about it, if the finished recorded video plays without the green screen. Most probably something that happens from the PS2 end somewhere. |
