PVR350 w/ TV-out

Alright, so I may be doing something really wrong/stupid here, but I'm having some difficulty with using the 350 as a TV-out. I managed to get it to display only video, but when I enabled UI to be displayed on the 350, nothing happens - except that Sage does not run in fullscreen mode on my main monitor. So, first question: Is there something I need to do on so the UI displays on the 350 tv-out as well?

Second question; When video is playing back, I notice display (UI) corruption happening on my main monitor. Once it's stopped/paused, the corruption immediately disappears. Is this a known issue? (I can't find it anywhere here)

I've got the most updated drivers for everything on this machine.

BTW, I have a Radeon 9800 Pro as my video card.

Thanks!

Put your codecs to default, and disable the software encoding completely. Basically make sure that all settings are on "default", and give it a try.

I.

Glad it worked! Now just hope that you dont have the dreaded 'EOF' issue that plagues everybody!

I decided to use my Radeon to do the decoding because of A/V desync. Hardware-only decoding routes sound to the 350, which I simply cannot do a line-in to my sound card. I'm not looking forward to the EOF bug either

I actually experienced the desync when I had software decoding enabled while using the TV out. Also, never had the famed EOF bug till I tried the 3.011 and later betas

Edit: I checked Opus post here: http://forums.freytechnologies.com/f...266#post112266

I tried option number two there - I get it to now lock up for a bit, but hitting the stop button once it does seems to revert it back to the menu after 10 seconds. Give it a try, got nothing to loose

Oh and for audio mixing - I have the line out of the sound card converted to RCA and used a splitter in reverse to mix the RCAs of the 350 and the sound card to a single cable jacked into the TV/Receiver
