Trying to get on screen display working

[gt40]

I recently pickup this system for a whopping $250:

P3 1000, intel Mobo,integrated audio and LAN,G450 16mb dual head, DVD/cd-rw, 40G HD.

I removed the G450 and installed my trusty old 32mb g400 , a twinhan 1020a DVB card and Windows 2000 pro.

Everything works flawlessly using MyTheatre for satellite reception, DVD and file playback - everything except the on screen display (I'm assuming it uses video overlay to achieve this).

Does anyone have this s/w combo and have got the OSD to work?

I'd really like to get rid of the computer monitor completely, but I need it right now to be able to see whats on and what channel I'm viewing.

BTW, if anyone wants the G450, it's yours for the cost of shipping.

I'll take the G450

you got a PM.

BTW, can you give me a brief life history of your G450 ? OC attempts, mods etc.

As for your problems, I am assuming your trying to use the 2nd head of the G400 as your TV out? I think that would be the best way to do it. What you should do first is set up your 2nd head to be a clone of your primary (CRT display). And then enable DVDMAX on the primary head. Then all you do is disconnect the primary (CRT) and hook up your TV to the secondary head and you *SHOULD* be okay.

If your having seeing channels on what the DVDMAX (overlay) is putting out, then I don not know what else to do to help. I have read/heard that you can use FFDSHOW or something but I have no experience with it, so I can't say anything more on the subject. Good luck!

Yep tried that, I'm thinking it may be a win 2k thing, as apparently it works fine in XP.
Someone apparently has had luck using the quartz.dll from XP and registering it on their 2K system.
I've had to set up all the graphs for the directshow filters myself, so that may be a problem as well.
