ATI WDM 480x480 and 352x480 ???

[Anonymous65]

I just installed a ATI AIW Radeon with the latest driver and WDM driver (no MMC). However, in some capture applications I only have the capture resolutions listed in the WDM driver, which does NOT include 352x480 and 480x480 (it only have 640 and 720x480).
Is there any way of adding the 480x480 and 352x480 resolutions to this WDM driver via the registry or .ini files?

if you are using 5118 drivers, you need to change them to the 5120's or older ones

Hi.

Yes, I'm using the 5118 driver. I didn't see any other drivers on the ATI web site. Do you know where I can get the 5120 driver?

[sonoma]

other people are needing these. should i put them in abmu?, or can i just put them here

Thanks.

WinMe WDM driver version 5120

Thanks!

(no other web sites that have this file?)

[sonoma]

check your mail

Thank you!!

I loaded the new driver, but 352 and 480x480 is not in the resolution list...

[sonoma]

but is 640x480 on the list. if it is, then you can regedit your own width. as long as it will let you do 480(interlaced)

Sonoma, would you mind e-mailing me a copy of the ATI WDM driver version 5120 for Win98? Thank you very much.

k-daddy?, check your mail

[K-Daddy?]

Thank you Sonoma! I'm anxious to get this problem figured out.

I'm sorry to have to ask this question, but I don't know how to install the ATI WDM 5120 capture driver without a setup file. There's a list of 24 inf, sys and ax files in the zip file sonoma sent me. Could skittelsen or sonoma please tell me how to do it?



Thanks in advance.

[sonoma]

in device manager, sound etc, double click a wdm device,driver, update, point to directory were file are. Do this for each wdm device

[K-Daddy?]

OK. You've been very patient with me. I tried to install the 5120 WDM capture drivers and it looked like it should have worked fine - same file names, etc. However, I got an error message that said "the specified location does not contain information about your hardware".

So, either the 5120 capture drivers don't work with the Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO card, or something else is wrong. Are these official ATI drivers? Where did they originally come from?

Does anyone else using this card also have this driver installed?

[Anonymous65]

Sonoma,
yes I have 640x480 and 720x480, but not 352x480 and 480x480.
How do I regedit the two extra resolutions?

[sonoma]

I'm not sure about ME, but in W2k it's in current user,software,ati tech,mutimedia,features,tv,video capture,avi.

make a custom profile in mmc, and have it be the selected profile.
under the avi section in the registry you will see all your custom profiles.
go into the one you want and change the width listing to whatever you want.

Remember, I do not have MMC installed. I use Ulead DVD moviefactory to capture video from the ATI using the WDM driver. This is a WDM problem only, not a MMC problem. The resolutions are most liklely hard coded in the WDM drivers. Are there any generic WDM drivers for the ATI Radeons?

[sonoma]

well shit. All I know is I can capture 480x480 avi or mpg in mmc 7.6 (although I always capture avi, edit and encode)
Maybe I'll find moviefactory and play with it.

[Anonymous65]

Yes, I have been using Vdub for AVI capture and then Tmpgenc for encoding. But, capture directly to mpeg-2 with Ligos does a very similar job, so why waste the time and hard drive space on the other process? In Ulead Videostudio 6, I can use another menu to get 352x480 and 480x480. But, in DVD moviemaker, this menu is not there, and the program relies on the WDM driver for setting the video settings. The Ulead DVD moviemaker is simpler and easier to use than Videostudio 6. Still, both programs does a nice job at recording DVD video, even SVCD video. VCD quality is marginal.

I would use MMC if it could record 48KHz audio, and it had a usable editor.
