Dear Webmaster,
I have some good websites, whose resource pages are with good
page rank by Google.
I am looking to exchanging links and we have many categories so your
site will be place on an appropriate page.
If you are interested in swaping links please send me your
website details.
I am sorry if I wasting your time and have a nice day!
Best Regards,
Edythe Senta

Can someone explain how the drivers being updated effect the image
quality / deinterlacing vs the software decoder being used? If I
use TheaterTek dvd decoder / player (uses Purevideo internall as
the decoder) but with a ATI card, how does the ATI cards drivers
change the video quality on a dvd? I would have thought the quality
of the decoder package would make more of a difference? Can someone
explain?

It's the way that the VGA capture does its "exposure" that
makes it unreliable. If you use the auto-exposure mode it tends to
blow out some of details.

What I noticed was more of a brownish-yellow tint to them, as well
as an overall lowered brightness.
Also....any ballpark estimates on when those new ATI drivers might
hit the market?? How they perform will actually have a significant
influence on my next videocard upgrade.

It's a bug with our VGA capture device. We're still figuring that
one out.

I liked your article Alan, nice info on edge adaptive deinterlacing,
it may actually help me with selection of avisynth deinterlacing
filters when making avi clips from my dvd videos for my family.
As a matter of fact, since you do video only, how about covering
software video filters... avisynth is the perfect candidate :). I am
not an expert there (not enough time and too many filters with too
many parameters to play with), but that would be great!
There's a good guide that covers anime mostly (on
animemusicvideo.com) but it helped me immensely with understanding
the concepts of various filters (deinterlacing, sharpening, noise
cleaning etc...), another view concentrating on regular video
material would help as well ! wink wink nudge nudge
One question though, whatever happened to Rage Theater chip? I
understand it doesn't correlate to watching movies on the LCD screen
but that would only skip deinterlacing function wouldn't it? The
rest (3:2 pulldown detection for instance) would stay. I don't know
about X800XL as I don't have it... but I still have ATi Radeon 8500
BBA. It sports Rage Theater, and I have to say TV out is amazing. We
regulary watch movies through it. Better than nVidia. I use
PowerDVD.
Either way, nice reading.
