RE: Re: [OT] Video Input Output Cards

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

One of my gripes is that there are no graphics cards with *GOOD* support
fo=
r
TV resolutions or decent quality TV outputs ... The s-video stages on all
the graphics cards I have tried suck!

There's a possibility that the Matrox G400 / G450 series of cards can be
used to give an interlaced RGB output suitable for feeding into a SCART
socket (and it's possible that the Ati Radeon 9x00 series of cards may be
coaxable into doing the same) - however this requires playing about with
PowerStrip and defining custom resolutions. Why the hell can't some
graphic=
s
card manufacturer wake up to the fact that some people want good quality PC
DVD playback through a big screen rather than a PC monitor?
