Re: More on Enhanced video/755cd
I tried this but couldn't make it work. It looks like the video-in kinda
keeps working, but the video-out stops. When I reverted to the 755CD EV 1.20
install, the output started working again. Could there be something that you
did that got missed (or that I missed)?
Something funny is going on with my video-in in both cases (755 and 760
drivers) right now. Instead of getting external video in, I get
reproductions of the TP screen. Pretty wierd. This is while using Digital
Video Director Capture. I just got my TP back from IBM EasyServe. I hope
they didn't mess something up...but I don't know what it could have been if
they did...Direct video screen capture actually can be neat if it could be
better controlled. It looks a lot faster than ScreenCam or similar products.
Too bad it's just some system/software glitch.
Thanks

PS I have an "older" 755CD with the 486 DX4 processor, not the Pentium version.
