No Macrovision At All

[UserReview]

I'm using a G400 with S Video out into a JVC 7600 S-VCR, no problems recording DVD's with any of the software players, is this normal?

[Maggi]

nope ...

which player and drivers are you using ?

[Brian R.]

Just don't post your results on the Matrox forum

Has anybody else had any luck in disabling macrovision with the g400 yet?

That trick doesn't work with PD6.x anymore, does it ?

[Brian R.]

Yeah, you better have an earlier driver.

Using Win2000 5.10 drivers and PowerDVD 2.5,
G400 Svideo into front panel Svideo on JVC 7600 SVHS VCR, plays and records fine.

What did you do to get rid of Macrovision? or did it always act that way by a freak of nature?

I think it's PowerDVD ...

[Brian R.]

Maggi - What makes you say that? Have you seen this effect with PowerDVD or is this a rumor?

[Maggi]

Just guessing, Brian ...

I thought I read something about it, but can't seem to find it anymore.

What I found during my dig was a note on how to disable macrovision on NVidia cards that use the Cinemaster engine ...

Dunno if that could also work with G400, but it could be worth trying it.

does PowerDVD only output to S-video? I have had a lot of trouble getting it to use the DVDMax output. Also when i got it to go out thru the Composite it wasnt the right size.

Have you tried using DVD Genie to play with settings?

PowerDVD 2.5 / Win2000 = no macrovision
PowerDVD 2.5 / Win98 = macrovision
