I have been using the ATI AIW 9800 Pro 128 for two months and have captured hours of video and burned to DVD.

Last week I pluged the video jack into the purple input like I have done 100 times before and I got this Vvvvvooooopppppp sound and the screen went black.

I rebooted and there was no video for the composite or S-video (just the TV) - audio for all 3.

I returned the card and was sent another with a note saying that the card was defective.

I installed it and it looked fine. My TV channels were added - everything was set up.

I plugged in the video jack and everything went black again!!!! (no Vvvvvooooopppppp this time)

Now no video in composite, S-video, or TV.

I contacted ATI today and they never heard of this before. They are sending me another card with a new purple input cable.

I am using a JVC plug in to my camera with the 3 RCA jack output.

I'm afraid to plug the video in again when the new card comes.

Could it be the cable - or two bad cards in a row, or..............?

Any comments?????

Thanks,

Dave

I have sent this same concern to ATI with no responce.
