Catalyst 4.9 Beta - Warning

[stanger89]

Just thought I'd post a warning for the rest of you.

In the continuing search for a way to improve my VMR9 performance, I thought I'd give the Beta Catalyst 4.9 (aka the DOOM 3 version) a try. Let me just say I'm really glad I Imaged my drive before I installed them

First thing I noticed was that some of the options in Detailed setup (Recording quality) were blank. Then I went to Sage Recordings and there was nothing there (malore's STV reported "no recordings"). Needless to say I was worried.

Well there's a happy ending, since I'd imaged it, in 2min I was back to my Cat 4.7 setup and all is well.

So a lesson for all you fellow upgrade/test freaks out there, get a good imaging program (Acronis True Image here) and use it, often.

Nevermind that SageTV stopped working... did it fix the tearing?

There were no files for me to even play

It may not have been 4.9, I tried DX9.0c, (after restoring to Cat 4.7 setup) and it did the same thing. I didn't feel like screwing with it so I gave up. I might try again later though.

Directx 9.0c is fine on my box and is not beta any more
