Strang Problem

[thefish]

When ever I convert a animated move with tpmg such as DragonBall Z. The color is messed up. I noticed however this only happens on my PC and if I open my TV card at the same time as my VCD the problem goes away. What is wrong?

Well, this may work and may not, but lets give it a shot-
In Quantize Matrix, choose CG\Animation rather than default.

I tried that it did not help. Any other ideas? Why is it if I open my tv card in the back ground the problem goes away?

You know, i will be going on speculation here ok so what i say may not work.

Upgrade your video card driver to the highest available thru the manufacturer, not an OEM driver.

And upgrade the tv tuner as well thru manufacturer.
Also, if your video card is part of your tv tuner card, just upgrade it to the best.

You will have to send me 2 clips in my email(preferrably just snap shots) of before quality and after how its messing up.
Be sure not to compres em to much or you will lose pic quality.
Try and make each one around 500k cuz hotmail only allows 1024 k

This sounds like it may be an overlay problem, and your TV card fixes the colours when it's open. Try playing with you overlay colour settings in you Graphics Drivers.

Just to let you know my Video card is a ATI Radeon 8500 with the latest drivers from ATI. As for my TV card it is a Askey TView 99. I am useing the old Windows 95 drivers for it on my Windows ME system. I will try the new drivers and see if it helps.

How do I take a screen shot while the VCD is in full screen mode? I tried ALT + Print Screen and all I got was a black screen not a pic of the movie.
