Disabling Macrovision on AIW 8500DV

[lordsmurf]

Let him try. Maybe he'll make some kind of awesome discovery. I'm all for experimenting. I just spend the weekend experimenting with some complex hardware and custom software.

[VideoTechMan]

The AGC is a circuit that is not on the cards. In fact that circuit only exists on VHS VCRs. Now there may be a software emulation, like the software emulation used for Macrovision, but I see no evidence of it.

For the most part I agree with Lord....the AGC circuits are mainly on VHS VCR decks because the majority of people try to copy videos that way which causes the light/dark effect. Up until a few years ago, I had no idea what caused those effects until i educated myself on what Macrovision was. However on the older VCR's, (the ones made in the 70's and early 80's), they didnt have the AGC circuits at all so Macrovision was pretty much defeated because the VCR units doesnt even see it. Of course nowadays, though there arent many VCR's in production like it used to be, they are required to have the circuit installed. Now as far as capture cards go, Im not sure about those because I never owned one nor used one.

FYI - According to the salespeople at my local Best Buy, they no longer carry the Sima Color Corrector due to the fact that it can be used to defeat Macrovision.

Shows you how bright the dimwits at Best Buy are......I had bought mine several years ago from Best Buy and to this day it still works well, and works on DVD's too. Im sure if they knew the hidden ability the Sima model had then, they probably would have stopped carrying it long before now. Glad I got mine when I did...lol.

I don't think Foo knows a thing about firmware and the programming of the Bios or .bin file needed to carry out the instruction sets on ALL cards. Whether they be ATI or Nvida, the bios carries the instuctions for the chipset(s) on the pci board. The firmware flash to remove the macro code or disable it has been evident on most of the Apex DVD players and others. Does this mean it cannot be done on the ATI. I have hacked much code with success. I am fairly certain I can do it with the ATI card. If I don't succeed, no loss and much learned.

An eprom is an eprom. code is code. I do not care if it is C+, VB, perl or other code. It can be hacked and modified. What one needs to do is give the support and info if one wants a viable solution to the problem presented. So far Foo, you only knock the people trying to help. Not good to someone who comes into the forum trying to help. I hope you don't do this to the people around you in life.

Thanks MAK

I used to know a great deal about the Bios. (15 years ago)
On video cards there is a Bios extension. It appears in the PC
address space and contains native 80x86 code that provides functions peculiar to the video hardware. It does not execute on the card.
That was true even when the cards were pure hardware.

Whether they be ATI or Nvida, the bios carries the instuctions for the chipset(s) on the pci board.

Is that 80x86 instructions , or is there a programmable microprocessor
on the ATI card with it's own instruction set ? How do you know this ?
You say ALL cards have this. The BT848 doesn't . How would you fix a
capture card with that chip on it ?

The most effective way to make me look stupid is to show me some
evidence instead of telling me I'm ignorant. I may be.
The APEX player is NOT an ATI card , why do you even mention it ?
Did you hack that ? Tell us what instruction set it uses . 8086, Z80 , ARM ?

Hacking code involves modifying machine language. Your bringing up
C, Perl, etc. indidcates to me that you you don't understand. You
don't have the source for either the bios or whatever is in the ATI
if any.

I have been designing digital hardware/ firmware for 30 years.
Without data sheet on the Chipset and Instruction set if any it can't be done in your lifetime.

There a patch to do what you want at www.doom9.org

[cypherwolf]

Updated question. I think it's part of this thread.

When I try to capture certain shows from my digital cable signal to video later, I get a message that this Program is protected again copying.

Is this the Macrovision protection ? Or something else. I use an ATI 7500 All-In-Wonder card. One show that it happens on is Smallville.

Is there a hack for this ? I would think it's stupid that you can record on VCR to watch later but can't record to a computer set up as a PVR.

Thanks in advance for any help

If your source dvd player is macro free you can copy all you want.
There are plenty of players that are.

"DVD>(S)VCD

If it takes 5-6 hours to complete a complete conversion, then you sure save alot of time. VCD doesn't have many of the same features as a DVD."

With Nero you can copy to vcd in real time, no conversion is needed.

I think the main idea here is capturing VHS tapes with an ATI.

I found a very short data sheet on the Theatre 200. Not enough.



It may be possible if someone can find more info on the chips

[racerxnet]

I'll post the findings when I am done with the IDA Pro disassembler regarding the macrovision. Some interesting things floating in there.

[lordsmurf]

Theatre 200:
http://mirror.ati.com/products/theater200/theater200.pdf

Again, the Theatre Rage (aka Rage Theatre) found in 128 Pro and 7000-9600 cards does not have any such AGC mentioned.

I'll pull my card if I can find time.

Theatre Rage:
http://www.ati.com/products/ragetheater/features.html

The Macrovision mentioned is likely not chip-based, but hardware based. Original specs made no mention of it, and it is believed to be completely controlled by more recent drivers and software.

[FOO]

What's the difference between chip and hardware based ?

[DereX888]

This thread became messy (too many subject subthreads at once). Lets scope on "Disabling Macrovision" only - as it is in original post, no more how long it takes to rip DVD to VCD etc please

ATI cards series 7000-8500 use software codec to detect macrovision garbage in the signal and prevent user from capturing. Its ATI MVD Specialized Codec (or Driver - I dont remember now) piece of crap that does it. Anyway - since its a piece of software what ATI use in this case, then obviously there is no other protection in any hardware chip or hardware-embedded code (like in card's BIOS).

Being user (and tester) of ATI A-I-W series cards since very first A-I-W 4MB PCI card in 1997 I am basically sure there is no MV-related hardware protection on ATI cards. They all have been equipped with software (DLL, driver or codec) to detect MV in the signal. Up until MMC7.6 there were various MV disablers available for ATI's Media Player (old A-I-W, A-I-W Pro) and MMC software, primarily one older one that help to get rid of bright-dark 'effect', and other one that helped unlock (overpass) 30-sec capture limit of MV-protected signal. Both used on MMC versions up to 7.7.0.1 work great.
Unfortunately it seems that ATI must have changed or rewrote its MV-detection in latter MMC software (8.x.x.x +) because them disablers don't work on them anymore, and it seems that no one in coders community has any interest to work on disabling those newer versions of MMC MV-protections (I don't believe its impossible to crack this new MV-protection software). That is the main reason why I still keep Win2000 and MMC7 on my "recorder PC" and I have no interest upgrading to any newer version, nor am I going to buy for my "recorder PC" any newer ATI A-I-W series card that would require MMC8.x and not work with MV-disabled MMC7.

Also anyone of you didn't mention that MV-protection with MMC8 kicks in whenever MV-alike garbage in the captured signal is present (i.e. when capturing from some old, low quality VHS tapes). To me this is another proof that MV detection on ATI cards is done purely by software, not hardware.

[lordsmurf]

Actually, some of the hacks on some systems with some cards on some versions of MMC (including 8.x) will remove some or all of the Macro.

Yeah, lots of some's in there. It's a crap shoot.

The main reason people like myself don't reverse engineer this card is because it takes too much time, and it's cheaper to spend $40 on a SIMA device. And then most of us have a full TBC (like my DataVideo TBC-1000) so I'll almost never need this hack. Only in one case did I want to try to hack the card, because the TBC introduced errors. But I found another way to get the video I needed, so never did it.

Plus some of the Macrovision DLL's may be related to the timer functions of MMC. I've seen timers get disabled from the MV hacks on MMC 8.x.

All in all, not worth the research to me, but I support the cause, and anybody finding such hacks will have a home for them on lordsmurf.com.

I also agree that it's in the software. I see no AGC in the ATI specs, and the Theatre 200 (9700-9800 cards) AGC info is suspect.

[FOO]

The data sheet from ATI with block diagram containing an AGC
and Feature list containing AGC is "suspect" ! Why on earth do you
think that ? It absolutely astounds me.
You think ATI is lying about it ? Why would they ?
That, coupled with the data sheets on the Conexant chips explaining exactly
how the AGC works would seem to anyone without a denial problem
that Capture cards in general have AGC.

There are people that claim that the moon trips were a fraud too.

[racerxnet]

Just out of curiosity,

Why would the WDM drivers with the macro only effect the MMC from ATi when in fact they also effect VirtualDub and Ulead. In other words, if they do not remove the macro, and Ulead or VirtualDub still shows the effects, they will not work for MMC.

Just my observation at this moment!

MAK

[FOO]

I think it's because it's got nothing to do with software.

[racerxnet]

Hi Foo,

I understand your position in regards to the software VS hardware debate in the conversation. I am tossing out thoughts on the problem/solution. I am going to ask you based on our exchange on where EXACTLY the problem/solution resides from your perspective. I want to leave the question wide open to your thoughts of where to look, what to look for, and what tools to use to fix the dilemma.

Thanks MAK

[overloaded_ide]

OK,
I just did some old home camcorder tapes for a friend. At times I got a bit of the darks bright type effect.
Also I Backed up a Warner Bros Vegie tales tape with same effect.

Now I have a Facet video clarifier, and I think I patched to remove mac detection also, so what gives on this??

My card is a ATI AIW Radeon 7500 AGP and I am using MMC 7.7!
Also as mentioned in an earlier post, I think the mac patch disabled my timer. If I set the system to record 1:30 it does not shut off when it should.

Basically I am having no real trouble backing up most comercail tapes now, but a HOME MOVIE?? That just about makes the card useless!
Luckily it was not all that bad. At first I thought it had to do with the lighting difference and the camcorder used till I looked closely, and it wasn't camcorder compensating for lighting changes or zooms after all.

Luckily I have not noticed this alot yet, just recently and only a couple times so far.

Come on now... how much do you REALLY trust ATI documentation, given their shit track record ?

ATI is not real high on the brains department when it comes to explaining things. For all we know, AGC to them may be "Awesome Graphics Chip" or something equally absurd.

Again, they make great hardware and software, but that's where it ends. Everything else sucks. But as long as us ATI users stick together, we'll be fine without them.

Racerxnet wants a starting point. That starting point should be the software, not the hardware, given the hisorical perspective of ATI cards.

[DereX888]

MacroVision detection of A-I-W radeon cards *is* in the software. AGC circuitry has nothing to do with MV (in this case that is, but yes - I agree that AGC plays major role with VCRs)

Follow me: since patching ATI's software with hack and using MMC 7.7.0.1 let us get rid of MV shit (cards 7000-8500 series), but patching does not work if you try to patch MMC 8.x.x.x and its drivers.
Had it been in the hardware then patching hack would be software version indepedent and it would have work with any versions obviously, but (unfortunately) it is not - hence the conclusion: macrovision is in the software not in the hardware.

Now why does other non-ATI capturing software (i.e. Virtual Dub) also have problem with MacroVision protection if it is in ATI's software?
As I just replied in private message to someone asking me it:
Simple answer: because they all use same ATI's drivers as MMC does.
MV-detection shit is in the drivers not in the MMC itself, its atinmdxx.sys that is responsible for it (check in your system properties for "ATI WDM Specialized MVD Codec" - MVD stands for MacroVision Detection, its internal name is mvdcodec.sys)
Anyway - if any of those programs would have their own drivers written for ATI A-I-W cards, then they would become truly indepedent from ATI's MV-detection influence.

The only thing what surprises me for all this time is why none of the indepedent companies that are selling capture cards based on ATI's boards have never released their own set of drivers (that don't include and operate without MVD codec at all). Or why there is no skilled indepedent coders who would reverse engineer existing ATI's drivers and write down their own drivers? I would pay even $10 for them, and I'm sure there would be plenty of other potential customers...

BTW:
I offer case of premium Canadian beer to the person who can succesfully update old hacks to work with newest ATI drivers (or write new hacks).
This offer is open to anyone/anywhere, however it has time limit (it is valid as long as I have ATI A-I-W Radeon cards that is )

[FOO]

OK I'll give up until I find a way to prove it. But if you guys are right
there are two separate MV systems in the ATI stuff.

I tried to capture a tape. I got a popup that said it refused to capture.
I applied the MV hack. It would then capture, but the light/dark
effect was still there. Just as if the MV detection was gone, but
an AGC problem remained.

So level 1 MV detection refuses to capture at all. When that is killed,
level 2 kicks in and the software exactly emulates a VCR by detecting
MV and multiplying all the luma values by some number less than 1 at
the right times in software. Why so complicated ? If they are still detecting it ,
why don't they just do the same thing they did before and refuse ?

Or.. by Occams Razor , it is a hardware AGC problem

[racerxnet]

Here is a driver that appears to be decoded from a source I found on the net. If you look closely you can see the AGC Clamp and other settings in the driver code.

Alright people, here's what we just finished testing last night.

* Fresh install of Windows2000 SP4 on a low-level formatted hard drive,
* ATI AIW 9000 Pro with MMC 8.1 and drivers only,
* Creative Labs SoundBlaster Live! and drivers only.

Today's test movie is the VHS release of 1776.

* The capture failed to initialize. ATI detected the Macrovision,
* The MV Hack from LordSmurf's website was applied,
* The capture intialized but the light/dark sequence was evident,
* The Magic Box was placed inline between the ATI and the VCR,
* The ATI captured successfully.

* The hard drive was wiped and reloaded from an El Torito DVD,
* The MV Hack was not applied, and the ATI failed to initialize,
* The Magic Box was placed inline between the ATI and the VCR,
* The ATI captured successfully.

Hell if I can remember the video driver version, but it was the one with the Catalyst CD. I didn't update any drivers from the website, and my copy of SP4 came from CD and not Microsoft's website.

Hope this helps somehow.

DereX888,

The file name in the registry is MVDCODEC29, also DALRULE shows macrovision. You will also find the ATI files in the CLSID related to the drivers and macrovision. Maybe I'll die trying, but I enjoy the challenge.


About that case of beer!!!! My choice or yours, and can we all get together and throw a party when the solution is found.

Here is a Russian translation from this link regarding the Rage Theater chipset. http://www.radeon2.ru/konkurs_2/8500_vivo.html


If for you it was necessary to select videokartu from ATI on chip R200, that you, probably, the diverse variants were examined: from All in Wonder- A with the rich video- possibilities, to maximally cheap LELE... Many immediately reject as expensive, so cheap products, selecting a compromise between the price and the quality. But here what is to be done with the functionality of the selective map? All it compulsorily is desirable to have a little more these "possibilities themselves".

One of such that placed by the developers of functions, it was, it is similar, it is initially rejected by the strategists of trade. The discussion deals with Video- other (video input) on maps Radeon TO 8SHCH00/.8SHCH00LE.

By functions Video-OUT, Video- is other it is occupied chip Rage Theater, which is present on all Radeonakh 8500, in independence VIVO this or VO. So can necessary this only to include?

Are encountered two modifications Rage Theater, by which are completed the maps on base R200:
213RT1ZUA43 They place to VIVO maps, and also to some usual.
213RTVZUA43 Version for the maps without the support of video input. Most likely, both chips are identical, only on 213RTVZUA43 conclusions, corresponding for the video input, they are not connected inside.

It is similar, thus ATI it were warned against its partners in the business, prepared to reject for market it is much cheap VIVO maps, and to pritormozit' sale AIW. And only relatively recently, when maps on base R200 send into discharge mainstream of the solutions, on the market, finally, they appeared, having video input.

Glance at marking of chip Rage Theater- A on your map. If there stands 213RT1ZUA43, means map it conceals the concealed possibilities, which we will attempt to activate, and as the prepared object let us take map Radeon 8500LE VO 64MB from Manli, which executed in the etalonomu design. For the beginning let us compare it with Super Grace Radeon 8500 vivo 64MB.

Manli Radeon 8500LE VO 64MB

Super Grace Radeon 8500 vivo 64MB
Although chips themselves Rage Theater are identical, the design of maps slightly differs. Creative approach is here will be necessary necessary, indeed on the map without the video input simply does not be sufficient number of elements, and these chains even are not separated on the pay. And Mini Jack here to 7 pin and not to 9 as in VIVO.

But thus appears binding Rage Theater for VO (to the left) and VIVO (to the right)
Seizure can be produced as on the composite video input, so on S- video, it is selective. Diagram consists of inlet filters, assembled according to the identical template for each channel. Filter frees useful signal from the high-frequency it is noise and focusings. Load resistor and capacitor separating along the direct the current further goes, a comparatively great capacity. Important role it plays two capacitors 68nF and 22nF, assigning operating conditions to the internal circuits of otsifrovshchika.

Let us first gather all mentioned in the diagram elements, desirably chipovye, close ones in the sizes to those, which already cost on the pay. To find them is possible in the specialized stores, either on unnecessary videokarte or materinke. In any event the multimeter will be required, capable of measuring the resistance, capacity and inductance. As a rule, they write ratings only on the resistors, rest is checked by the trial-and-error method.

When everything on the spot, we make the second step, t.e. we pass to the modification of your map.

It must warn, that now the fate of map completely in your hands, and I cannot guarantee the happy outcome of modification 4. Moreover guarantee on the map will be forever lost.

Before you will begin, again thoroughly think - it does stand? And if they were decided, boldly for the work. You should open feet with 51 on 59 from the "earth". And this so is not simple to make. Let us look to raspinovku of chip Rage Theater:
Here we see as to be dismantled with this "stonozhnym cockroach". Yellow line noted feet, which one must raise above for the surface of pay. You will focus attention on yellow pointer, indicating the capacitor, which by all forces will prevent the completion of works.

This is how I solved this for itself. Took soldering iron 25W, with the temperature regulator. He selected it harvested by the diameter of 2 mm, it cleaned of the solder and preliminarily sharpened approximately at an angle of 20 degrees.

Soldering iron bit
You will establish operating temperature by regulator and prover'te, does not break through the incandescing stress on the sting by the tester of phase. You will warm thoroughly the contact areas of legs by soldering iron, and with the aid of the thin needle, inserted into the slot between 50 and 51 feet, raise upward 51 leg. Raise it more highly, so that it would not interfere with being selected to the following. But you be maximally careful, legs easily break.

Thus, on the turn, we raise all legs with 51 on 59. Wash off the remainders of rosin by alcohol and attentively will look they did not break you anything excess there will here very by the way be magnifier with increase in 4x or above. Now prover'te input resistance on all raised feet, and if it the order of several ten megaohms, it means everything in the order. But nevertheless it is necessary to place back foot 56 to the earth.

You will connect capacitors to feet 55 and 57. It is possible to stick them directly to surface of RT of chip and to join with the aid of thin provodkov, elongated from the stranded wire.

Entire remaining part of the diagram, gather on the piece of model pay, prikleyte, let us say, to the chip for the connection of monitor, and you will connect with RT by thin, by the covered with insulating varnish wires from the primary winding of power transformer. Wires for the input signals it is concluded outside. <End of Translation>

The translation told us to "dismantle a cockroach".

It all becomes clear now. I'm gonna go get some RAID and spray my card.



Is this using Babelfish?

Hi guys,

I'm new in the forum (and a newbie in video-processing -not in computers in general though), so I apologize if this has been already answered or if some of you find it somewhat out of topic.

Macrovision is my problem too, but I have a Prolink/Pixelview GeForce 4 Ti 4200 graphics/capture card on my PC (no DVD drive at all, just a Q40 stand-alone DVD player), not an ATI. I'm not interested in complete movie-ripping but in just copying scenes I like from several movies and merging them together, outputing the result onto VCDs, just to watch them from time to time.

So I have just connected the Q40 with the GeForce's VideoIn , through a plain yellow RCA video cable (composite), performing analoge capturing from the Q40.

Adding that I'm using Win98SE I think sums up the background info anyone may need for my general setup.

Now, the real question is that I've read in more than one sources that the old nVidia WDM drivers version 1.08 were the latest which could capture analog video bypassing that Macrovision noise. Currently I'm using the very latest version 2.13, which do not. I managed to locate and download version 1.08, but no matter what I did the drivers were NOT installed on my system... (I tried everything, even removing all 2.13s ocurances from the registry before installing version 1.08 ).

So, does anyone know anything about it? It seemed to me this thread was the proper one to ask. The box (external hardware remover) solution is not really an option in my point of view, since there are MV free DVD-players in the market costing just a little bit more than those boxes... don't they?

Any help on installing those 1.08 drivers (or anything similar) to remove MV would be greatly apreciated.

Best regards...

Still replacing jumps with unconditional jumps in the driver files.
