Slow tv out with G450

[ernst]

Hi!

I have a problem with my Matrox G450.

Last week I bought a new computer, and a Matrox g450 16MB (realy don't care about 3d

I connected the DualHead tv out, with composite video and when I switch to the dual head clone mode the driver starts eating my proc power. It consumes somewhere between 30 and 70% of it

When I try to watch a divx on my TV the image it's all cracky and slow... this can't be normal right?

I tried al sorts of resonlutions, color depth and refreshrates.. true, some are faster then others but it's still _slow!

I tried both win2k, win98SE with the latest patches and services packs, directx 8a (also tried the directx8.1 and the redist version) and the VIA4in1 drivers for the mobo.

The divx I'm trying to watch has the correct screen res, so running the DivxG400 patch didn't matter.

I updated the bios of my mobo, patched the bios of the Matrox card,leeched the latest drivers of the web and tried it without sound and network card and it still doesn't work correct... (both 2k and 98)

is this a know problem? Is my pc converting the image using buggy software, am I doing something wrong or am I just plain stupid by looking something over the head or should I return the stuff to the store and ask for a new one.

thanks of you time.

greets,

ernst

Again the old problem. Look out for the G400 DivX fix. http://www.tac.ee/~prr/videoutils/.
Install this, otherwise the G400 will not use overlays when playing back most DivX;-) movies, resulting in awfully slow and blocky playback.

Tried it... didn't work and the divx plays perfectly fine on the monitor, only the TV output is crappy.

+ using overly on the tv isn't much good since (could this be the whole problem?) the overlay isn't copied by the driver.

Don't use dualhead clone, use DVDMax to display videos to your TV.
