From what I gather from the official Matrox drivers site, there is no need to install any Display drivers on WinXP. My question is: Do I still get the Dual Head display which I would like to use for watching movies, in full screen on a TV using video out ?

I can't be sure, but why not just try it (if you have a slot you can plug it into!)?Brian (the devil incarnate)

Hello Brian, I just did and I couldn't see the tab where it shows the DualHead option. So I guess it would be part of the tools software. If I remember correctly there has been a third party mod version of the tools for WinXP by Adis. I'm not interested in the capture driver.Last edited by Debbie; 14 March 2011, 01:26.We pass this way only once. Make the most of it !Comment

Hi Debbie,
Just uploaded for you:

Thank you very much Adis.
It has been a very, very long time since I used The Marvel G400-TV card.
I'm mostly interested in PowerDesk v5.92.006+ for DualHead. It appears to be working fine on WinXP 32 bit. SP3
There is one thing I would like to ask you, please. Whenever I switch to DualHead DVDMax the Colour quality drops to Medium (16 bit). Is this normal ? The picture is just an example.
PS.
OK I found the answer from the ReadMe file on the installation CD.
Cause Your display settings may be too high. As a result, DVD video
playback may not be fully supported by Matrox hardware.
Solution Lower your display resolution and color palette setting. We
recommend you use a display resolution of 1024 x 768 and a 16-bit
color palette.Last edited by Debbie; 14 March 2011, 23:31.We pass this way only once. Make the most of it !Comment

Haven't used my Marvel for several years. By chance, came across it in a clear-out a few days ago. Noted it was PCI!!!!! Things have changed! It has joined the 25 kg of WEEE (all obsolete computer gear and cables) I took to the recyclers yesterday.Brian (the devil incarnate)

No,
. It's just for the fun of it. I dug it out of the garage and wondered if It still works.
Anyways I managed to assemble a dinosaur from old hardware but it's working fine !

My Marvel was G-200 PCI. When I looked at it t'other day, I was surprised at how coarse the connecting fingers looked! It is now in WEEE heaven being recycled!Originally posted by Debbie View PostBrian (the devil incarnate)

Elie,
I'm still stuck with P4s and WinXP. I have two machines both with All-In-Wonder capture cards, which have to be used on a WinXP OS since there are no available drivers for a more recent OS.
I also like the feel of WinXP and see no reason for scraping away two perfectly working capture cards.We pass this way only once. Make the most of it !Comment

Heh. Still have my Marvel G400 running on my Win98SE box in the family room and it does just fine. Even use it for the occasional capture.
That thing must be what? 12, 13 years old? Positively antediluvian by todays standards.

It is not my intention to do publicity. For those that are still on a PC with a PCI BOBO and want to capture video with a low cost PCI capture card, should consider the Compro C500, VideoMate. I bought a couple and I truly didn't regret it.
