Possible to get more then 320x240 out of ATI TV WONDER?

[traxxton]

I have some video 8 tapes I need converted to computer and Im trying different ways. I have a ATI TV Wonder; in the multimedia center they give you it only goes up to 352x240 and in virtual dub I can only go to 320x240, if I do a custom size, it gives me a error. I saw in the user guides a way to get it higer, but that was for a ATI All-In-Wonder Radion. I gave it a bit of a try to see what would happen, but I couldnt get it to work. As a matter of fact with the latest multimedia center it didnt have a tv viewer so I had to use the one that came with it...might be my problem there.

Anyways before I spend endless nights playing with it, does anyone know if its possible to capture larger then 352x240 in the MMC and larger then 320x240 in virtual dub with a ATI TV Wonder???

Yep. You can do it. I can do it with my ATI TV Wonder VE. All you have to is put it in preview mode instead of overlay.

Hello,

This might be a dumb question, but how do you do that?

I mean, can you get more 240 horizontal lines, or do you still get a max resolution of 640x240?

I have MMC 7.5 installed, and I can only get ???x240 resolution. I think I read somewhere that you could get more than 240 horizontal lines with MMC 7.5, but I couldn't do it through normal ways. I only did it by messing up with the registry (not a very clean way). Plus, the configuration gets resetted if you open the setup.

Thanks,
Fabio

Yes, go under "set custom format" in virtual dub and you can set any resolution you want.

Now for my second question; whenever I got above 352x240, I get blury lines on fast moving objects. This happes with with anything above 352x240 in virtual dub or when the video desktop is active through the tv viewer. Has this happend to anyone? Actually my guss is that its just a crappy card and if I want better i'll have to get another card. But if anyone has any fix or way around it, let me know.
