The resolution is pretty much fixed to roughly 640x480 of crappy NTSC, or 800x600 PAL (good )
 
Any matrox would do quite well.

Well i have a Hauppauge WinTV (nicam stereo with FM Radio) and it works perfectly in win2k, i dont have any problems with it.

Hmmm, well, the wintv card i have (bought it 3 days ago) runs in 640x480 and cant find if there is a way to change it to higher resolutions, like 800x600...it runs fullscreen in 640x480..is there a way to change the resolution?

You would need to use the WinTV WDM drivers. The info was posted yesterday (see the front page of the ntcompatible.com). Your mileage may vary, though, as many folks have experienced lockups with these drivers. If you try them, please post your results.

You need to enable hardware overlay. Then the video card will stretch the image to any size.
 
Last worked with my TNT, and Wintv model 406 in win98 with the 2.08 drivers!
 
I tried those WDM drivers listed, and it didn't even let me watch TV, let alone use overlay

euankirkhope D/L this test app
& run it to see if your drivers are supporting overlay.
You get it from here http://www.avermedia.com/software/overlay.exe

The WDM drivers are old. Hauupauge Germany has newer drivers...in English.

This not is WDM drivers "ntdrv306.exe nor is drv306.exe" there just plain old legacy drivers for both NT4 & Windows2000.
So where are you seeing WDM drivers DosFreak ?.

Couldn't find that overlay.exe, pretty sure I've seen it before though. Overlay works fine with PowerDVD, and works with Borgtv, but locks up after you click to shrink the screen down from full screen, (but at least the picture keeps going ).
 
On the german hauppuage site I found this for the win98 driver:
 
WinTV Treiber Version 4.18 (wtvdr418.exe, 2179 KB, 14. Feb 2000)
 
blah, blah, blah...
 
Bugfixes:
 
Fehlerhafte Darstellung im Overlay Modus bei Riva TNT, Voodoo Banshee und Matrox G200 wurde behoben.
 
Whereas, the .com site says:
 
Name=WTVDR418.EXE
size=2179K
Updated Jan. 27, 2000
 
 
Seems to have different dates!
 
For the win2000 drivers:
 
German:
 
WinTV NT4.0/2000 Treiber Version 3.06
(ntdrv306.exe, 2611 KB, 30. Juni. 2000)
 
Bugfixes:
 
Behebt Abstürze (System friert ein) bei bestimmten Computern mit ALI oder VIA Chipsatz.
 
 
.com site:
 
Name: W2KDRV306.EXE
Version 3.06
size=2,611
Updated June 12, 2000
 
no notes on bugfixes.
 
Must say my TNT didn't get fixed by the win98 update 4.18. But it does work with the 2.08 version of the drivers.
 
On the german site in the FAQ:
 
Kein Overlay bei nVidia TNT Grafikkarten
Starten Sie den Registrierungseditor ( Start / Ausführen / REGEDIT ). Gehen Sie zu:
 
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Class\
Display\0001\NVIDIA\DirectDraw]
 
(wobei NVIDIA durch den Hersteller zu ersetzen ist)
Setzen Sie den Wert "OverlayMode" auf 1,2 oder 3:
"OverlayMode"=dword:00000002
 
Pity the location is not there in win2k

Found a file in a folder called support in ftp.hauppauge.com its called hcw848nt.exe, I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, however it does have newer driver versions than the current official download it updates form 180?? to 18163.
 
Still doesn't fix anything mind you.
 
An additional note! I enabled Hardware overlay on my win98 partition, with the hauppauge program. Wintv32 crashed, and now win98 bsod's just as the logon box appears. I press enter to clear it, and the PC restarts. What gives? Its a standard, run-of-the-mill VMM VXD death. It boots into Safe mode OK, but I haven't really tinkered with it yet.
