"best" drivers for TV@nywhere master

For a month or two now, I am wondering why did I help my girlfriend
and gave her my ASUS TV/FM pro based on Philips 7134 chip and took from
her MSI TV@nywhere Master based on Conexant 23881 chip.
I have read somwehere a few months ago that it has one bit better compression
or decompression and thought that it is something that I will benefit from.
From what I have learnt using the two different cards main problem is in the drivers.
I got the best results with asus card using the original Philips drivers and not the one from Asus site and now... after a month of searching I think I have found the best drivers for conexant chip.
http://ftp://ftp.packardbell.com/pub/itemnr/6924330100/cx88x_20331.exe
they are originaly written for the Leadtek card but...
I just installed them over the beta drivers that STU has recommeded and the picture is GREAT!
better than it was.
do not try them... DO NOT WORK! Stu is right again!
these drivers do not work with the silicon tuner that is on the MSI card!!!
Sorry for 'causing problems to you all!
BUT I HOPE THIS CARD can do much better.

no they don't work
the installer just copies the driver files to the C:\PnP\Other directory, but the TV Tuner will not use them (driver author is still MicroStar I'tl and the date is as on the beta)
i tried to manually install the drivers, and that didn't work either
these are dated 2001/2002 anyway, so i don't think they can be that up to date

New BETA drivers for TV@nywhere Master

there was a thread somewhere before where someone had found some updated BETA drivers for the MSI TV@nywhere Master card but it seems to have gone now
i've been using them for a while now, and they're very stable, and the picture quality has improved somewhat
they say they are for the Master version of the card, but i think they may work on the Mega PC version, the only difference is the Master has a AM/FM tuner as well
anyone having stability probs in media center III or MSIPVS might want to try them out and see what happens...
i've uploaded them to my webspace, and you can find them here in ZIP format: http://www.ukshazam.com/downloads/8606Master_drv.zip
please note these are BETA drivers and as such MSI won't support them (as if they do anyway
i'll also post this in the Mega PC forum

As I recall when this BETA driver started flying around the forum, they WERE NOT official or unofficial MSI drivers. They were modified by a user from another forum and someone from this forum posted a link to them. THESE ARE IN NO WAY RELATED TO MSI DIRECTLY!! Someone reversed engineered the driver and probly thru extensive testing, via trial and error, was able to clean up the driver to give the result that most have had with them. This doesn't mean that everyone is going to have the same result, which is and has been the reality with any add-on card produced since PC's came out...compatibility issues DO still exist out there and not all systems are going to play in the sandbox well with all add-on cards that are manufactured...something to keep in mind when purchasing new systems...
Furthermore, it's been my experience that proprietary systems (The Pac-10 as I call them...IBM, Dell, Gateway, HP, Compaq, Sony, eMachine, etc...) have more issues than White Box systems when it comes to add-on compatibility. If you don't know this already, most of these companies DO NOT want you to purchase off the shelf items from Best Buy, CompUSA, etc...they want you to have to come back to them for upgrades and add-on devices, at higher than retail prices, and that's where they make the most profit. Sad reality, but true. Case in point: My first retail purchased PC was a Dell XPS Pentium 100, (my prior PC's were purchased from Michael Dell's garage) I wanted to upgrade it to a 4X CDROM drive and Dell had failed to include the snap in side rails for their new innovative case that was tool-less. So I called up Dell support and asked if these rails were available. The CS Rep told me that they were so I asked how much. She asked me if I had bought the upgraded device from Dell and I said no. Then she informed me that they wouldn't sell them to me ($6.00 US) because I hadn't purchased the upgrade device from them. Needless to say I was pissed. This was circa 1995-96.
Anyway, over the years of doing network consulting, I can't tell you the countless times that I've heard this type of thing on the phone from many of the above listed companies...yes, most have gotten better over the years (Like Dell including all of the rails needed inside the case nowadays) but overall they still have the same mindset and it's much more subtle when they design a motherboard that won't play in the sandbox well with retail bought components...*shrugs*
I got tired of playing their game after a while and started building my own systems. I found White Box isn't always better either but for the most part it's been a far cry easier than buying proprietary...
Just my 2 cents here for what it's worth...

Best drivers for my gf3 ti200

what are the best drivers for my vid card? live update still is only giving me 31.00 but i've seen others on msi site.

Go directly to nVidia's site if you want the latest WHQL'd version.
Guru3d has a nice archive too.
Personally I would just use nvidia's drivers with the coolbit's registry hack to open the clock settings. Also found at Guru3D site....it's all over all you have to do is do a search like Google.

MOVED: Best Drivers for MSI 6600GT in SLI mode

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Best Drivers for MSI 6600GT in SLI mode

When i first tried that both cards were healthy and operated fine in non-SLI mode. Tried again 1-2 days later and one card gave coloured blocks all over the screen.
Yup, one card was in the process of croaking so giving random effects. Now thoroughly dead and on the way back for exchange.
Thanks for looking and answering.

Best options for uncompressed HD master?

I've just finished my first feature-length project in HDV on FCP, and I have some questions about output. In the past I've always been editing SD DV under 60 mins, so master output was always easy. But between the HDV and the 90 min. run time, things are a little more complicated.
We shot and edited in native HDV 1080/60i. We've rendered our final master sequence in HD ProRes, but I don't know where to go from here. These are my main questions:
1. My primary distribution is going to be SD DVD, but I want to keep an uncompressed HD master file backed up on multiple hard drives. What's my best output option for such a file? Can I just export a self-contained QT in sequence settings? Will that apply compression I don't want? Is there a better output option in Compressor?
2. Keep interlaced or deinterlace? Again, most people will be seeing this as an SD DVD.
3. I'd also like to get a local video outfit to make an HD tape master for more secure long-term archiving. What tape format is recommended?
4. Question I should have asked but didn't? Please, do tell.
Thanks in advance for any help.

The absolute best quality that you are going to get is by exporting a QT movie using current settings and making it self contained. Since you shot and edited in an HDV sequence this will add no further compression (remember that HDV is already heavily compressed).
Uh-oh. That's not actually correct.
HDV is relatively unusual as shooting formats go, in that it's a GOP format, as opposed to an I-frame format. In I-frame formats, each frame of footage (or pair of fields, if you're shooting interlaced) is compressed all by itself, independently of all other frames (or field-pairs). But in a GOP format, a number of frames are compressed together — that's what "GOP" means: "group of pictures." The first frame is compressed independently, then the next frame is described in terms of what's different from the previous frame.
When you edit HDV +and then export it as HDV again,+ whether to videotape or to a Quicktime, the GOPs must be "conformed." As you edit, you make cuts that break the GOP structure, so the timeline cuts from the middle of one GOP to the middle of another without including the first frame on which that second GOP depends. So when you export or lay off, Final Cut has to go through and convert a bunch of I-frames to B- or P-frames, and convert a bunch of B- or P-frames to I-frames.
In essence, exporting or laying off HDV imposes a compression hit. You will reduce the quality of your footage.
Since the question was about the best option for mastering, HDV is +definitely not it.+ Would it be okay? That depends on the footage, and on how picky you are. But it's not the best option. The best option is to master to a (ha ha) mastering format. Uncompressed 8-bit, Uncompressed 10-bit and ProRes are good choices here.
As for tape … that's tougher. You can absolutely send an uncompressed or ProRes Quicktime file to a dubbing house and get it laid off to videotape, but the question is to what format? HDV is a poor choice, because of the aforementioned compression hit you take when conforming the GOPs. DVCPRO HD would actually be a step down for you, because it would downsample your 1440x1080 native footage (or your 1920x1080 master, if you chose to upres) to 1280x1080.
That leaves HDCAM and HDCAM SR. If you've done things like color correction or compositing in a 10-bit color space — or even long-slow dissolves to or from black, which is one of the places where 8-bit really falls apart on you — choose HDCAM SR. HDCAM is an 8-bit format only, and you'll lose color precision if you go to that format. But if you stayed 8-bit all the way through your workflow, then you can go to HDCAM without any real problems.
Note that both HDCAM and HDCAM SR +are compressed formats.+ Your only option for uncompressed HD videotape is D6, and good luck finding a Voodoo recorder nearby. But HDCAM and SR are good enough for professional mastering, so they'll surely be good enough for you as well. And they're both available in 94- and 124-minute lengths, so you can master your whole feature on a single tape.
(While you're at it, consider getting your uncompressed or ProRes master file dubbed off to a data tape format as well. You worked really hard on this project, so it makes sense to be a little paranoid about preserving the fruit of your labors.)

How to pick best drivers for KT2 Combo-L?

Hello,
After I wrecked my old MS-6340 board I have purchased a used MSI socket A board in order to assemble with a internet capable machine for my parents with all the old parts I still had. On Ebay I have found a KT2 Combo-L for a reasonable price.
I have formatted the old hard drive and installed XP Pro (32-bit) and Office 2003 already. It is running like a charm
But how do I know how to pick to optimal drivers for this board? I am asking this question since I know from this forum that 'THE NEWEST DRIVERS ARE NOT NECESSARILY THE BEST ONES'........
I saw that this mobo supports 'Live Update'? Would that be the best way to start? Is picking the optimal drivers a question of 'trial and error' or is there someone who can give me some tips of how to proceed here?
Bob

I need drivers for TV @nywhere Plus Remote Controller!

Hi, I'm really getting depressed because I'm searching for drivers for months. I have TV @nywhere Plus but I lost my CD long time ago and I didn't care because everything still worked fine but last year I reinstalled my XP and everything changed from that day. I found drivers online for the TV card but not for my remote controller (actually I found something like that in the official site but it's not working and it's not the same like from the CD). And I continued searching and searching and lost hopes, and my remote controller stopped working, I bought new today and I hoped to fix it but still I can't make it work because I don't have drivers. :(
So guys, can you just send me the same drivers from this CD because I know they are there and they could help me. I really hope you have that CD. I found info in this topic - TV@nywhere Plus remote issue solved! - and I need exactly this program - P3XRCtl.exe version 2.0 something like that. It's a blue icon. I can't download anywhere this thing online :(
You are my last hope to help me, I don't want to dissapoint my parents again. Thank you again
P.S I bought the same things years ago

Yes but the version is 3.0 and not 2.0 and when I install it and start it I see the icon working but my controller is not working. And on the app when I open the settings it says something like - hold the power button on remote controller and choose the app you want to start and there is a blank list (probably there should be TV anywhere programme and when u choose it to start working. And that's it. It's just useless and I don't know why, I am holding the button trying to make something installing uninstalling and it's the same thing.

Best Drivers for 6600GT

I was wondering what the best drivers were for the MSI 6600GT card? I currently have the latest nvidia drivers, 77.81, loaded. Each time I install new drivers I use Driver Cleaner Pro. I'm wondering if there is a driver that my card works best with because I recall having better graphics with an older driver--but that could just be me looking back on golden days.
Also, should I use the MSI drivers on their site (if so which ones) or the nvidia ones.

I always use the drivers from nVidia. If you want the whole archive of drivers, you can go here ftp://download.nvidia.com/Windows and experiment with them all you want. It also depends on what you want, better looking vs better performance and what games you play. You are bound to get many different opinions on the best driver, but in the end it is really in the eye of the beholder. In reality, the best drivers are usually the ones that were released around the time your card hit the market. As you go to newer drivers, optimizations for the current cards on the market may result in poor results for older cards.
There's always Omega's drivers too http://www.omegadrivers.net/

Best drivers for Auidgy

Hello, I'm using an audigy 2 OEM card. I heard rumors that the Audigy 2 ZS gamer drivers were better for this card rather than the audigy 2 drivers? Is that true?
Also when I install the SB Audigy 2 driver from the disk, it says there is no sound card detected whenever I try to open the media center or volume control center from my SB Audigy 2 programs. Why is this? This is a fresh new install of windows.
Am I supposed to install the drivers before I install service pack , 2, 3 and other windows updates? I am having a really hard time just getting my sound card to work anymore because of these sound card issues and drivers and not being able to recongize my sound card. It is plugged in correctly, it is purely driver problems.
Any help is very much appreciated, i'm pulling my hair out because of this card.

The drivers for all Audigy/X-Fi cards are essentially?the same. So you just need to look at the driver version and not at the card they were supposed to make work. However keep in mind that some OEM models are not supported by Creative's driver directly, so the driver will refuse to install. In that case you may want to try to extract the files and do a "driver only" installation.
Personally I would recommend you try "Daniel_K's"? latest?modded drivers for your Audigy... Search the forum ynd you shall find them
Now concerning your programs, you do not state which OS you are using. However given that you probably have an old card and the CD is equally old, you should forget about the applications under Vista and probably XP SP3. Satisfy yourself with the "Audio Console" which comes with the drivers or any extra utilities available for download by Creative.

[SOLVED] Best drivers for an Nvidia 8600GTS?

Hi all. I installed Arch for the first time over the weekend. Everything went smoothly until it came time to start X - could never get it to work. I tried lots of different remedies (installing nvidia drivers from the repositories, installing the driver supplied by Nvidia themselves, blacklisting Nouveau, etc.). Nothing worked, and I think now the best thing is to start over clean and try to find where I went wrong (as there's a good chance I've done more harm than good in the process).
So as I nuke and reinstall, I'm wondering which driver will be best for my c. 2006 Nvidia 8600GTS card. Should I install the arch nvidia drivers with
pacman -Syu nvidia nvidia-utils nvidia-libgl libvdpau
or should I use the driver supplied by Nvidia? And if I go with the Nvidia-supplied driver, do I leave nvidia-utils, nvidia-libgl and/or libvdpau, or does it replace those, too?
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

First of all, please, read through the related Wiki pages.
The arch nvidia drivers (packages: nvidia, nvidia-utils, etc) are the ones supplied by nvidia, maintained and packaged by the arch maintainers and packagers.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NVIDIA
The open source driver is called nouveau.

Best Drivers for FX 5700 TD128

Hi All,
Can anybody tell me which drivers work best with the fx5700 TD128?
I've used the origanal MSI drivers that came with my card, but that's the older 52.14 Driver, the 52.14 wont even bechmark properly in 3DMark 2003 (Bugs in the driver?) I tried using the official 53.03 driver but the card benchmarks lower.
On the MSI Website they still have the 52.14 driver listed for my card.
No Updates? Which Driver will have all the bug fixes and performance improvement?

I would suggest a clean un-installation of the previous drivers, restart system and do a fresh clean installation of the VGA drivers again.

Best drivers for MSI RX1950PRO-VT2D512E?

Currently latest from MSI website installed.
Edit: I recently got and installed UT 3 and not very good playing it yet but get occasional video stutter/lag/jerking whatever you want to call it, seemed to be OK when I had the 9600 GT in this machine (AMD X2 4200+) but only did a practice try with it then.
I haven't checked for patches for the game yet but will be doing so sometime today.

Latest Catalyst from amd.com is always the best choice.

Best Drivers for new K8N Neo4 Platinum Ultra 7125-010

Looking for just a little clarification on which drivers to load for this board. It is on the way with my CPU and should be here tomorrow. In reading through some of the posts, it seems to be a good idea to load the most recent drivers right from the start and not even use the CD that comes with the MSI board. Below is a list of the Drivers which I "think" are needed.
Graphics Video Driver; 78.01
Nforce AMD Driver; 6.66
Audio Driver; 4.62
In doing some further reading, it seems I may need the following also but am not sure??
Windows XP Unified Driver; 5.10
Which includes the following:
Audio; 4.42
Audio Utilities: 4.44
Ethernet; 4.42
Gart; 4.36
Memory Controller; 3.38
SMBus; 4.04
Installer;4.46
IDE NVIDIA; 4.46
My plan is to setup the build with 1 WD 37.6 Sata drive as the boot drive and only the drive to start with. As for my Internet connection, I am going to use my USB Gigafast Wireless to connect to my D-Link DL-524 wireless router. I am going to Disable all of the onboard LAN features. Part of my confusion at this time is, do I need all of the Windows XP Unified Driver package??? Thanks in advance for any help in clearing up my confusion. Also, is there a specific order in which these should be installed??
Regards; Pop's

No problem Pop,besides,I'm 42 now and still love to build on my computer
As for the link,you need the "AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 Version (exe) 1.2.2.2"
or the one just above it "AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP x64 Edition and Windows Server 2003 x64 Editions Version (exe) 1.2.2.1"
It will uninstall the current driver that was installed with the mainboard driver cd,and should install the newer afterwards,you can check in hardware device manager if the driver version is the newer for cpu after reboot.
Haha,yes,I had the same feelings before I build this system,reading all msi forums regarding mainboards.
And all I read was problems after problems.But I have another system based on the KT3ultra,which I build 3 years ago,and I'm still pleased with this system so I decided to stay with MSI for now.Also I noticed the problems were/are the same on the Asus platform,seems common on nforce4 mainboards.
As for building,just take your time,I had a slight incident with placing the heatsink+fan on the cpu socket,apparently in the corners of the cpu bracket is a small ledge(Énglish is not my nature language so don't know if I use the correct word) ,I couldn't get the retention lever in place,needed a lot of pressure and I became scared of damaging things.
So I waited a few seconds and tried again,suddenly with a loud click,the retention lever fell in place,the heatsink was hindered by this ledge in one of the corners from the bracket.So you have to place the heatsink correct and don't overuse the pressure you need for the retention lever.Slowly increase it,and all will go well.
Also I noticed the pcie graphics card fell right over the retention clip that holds it in place right besides the northbridge fan(well,actually on the left side from the fan),so installed once,it's very hard to get your finger behind to replace the card for example,or to clean it out from dust.But I used a small tool to get behind and press the clip for card removal(a bended metal tool,so I need to be carefull using this)
As for sata drives,I started with an ide to be on the safe side,but I do know you need the driver floppy disks for using the sata drive.
Can't help you any further with that for now,when I buy sata2 drives no doubt I also will need to check if I need a bios update etc.But that's with a smooth system already running,so I can take my time and redo any steps I made if things fail.
That's why you need to do the correct order of installing software,it's much easier then to fix problems that may arise.
Well,goodluck and don't be afraid,just take your time.

Tv @nywhere Master w/ Vista Ultimate Driver help

I have Tv @nywhere Master and when i try to install the 'certified for windows vista drivers', it wont let me. I open up the rar file and then i click on setup and click next and then next and then an error pops up and it says 'system cannot detect the device on your computer, please make sure the device is connected properly'. I have tried taking it out of my desktop and putting it back in, ive tried uninstalling all of the drivers and reinstalling them, and ive tried opening up the driver folder and opening x86 folder and clicking on SetupDrv.exe and i get the same error... when i open up the setup on the x64 folder, i get an error that says "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see weather you need an x86(32-bit) or x64(64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher."

Where did you get Vista drivers for TV@nywhere Master? Are you sure you're referring to the right product? MSI discontinued the Master card long before Vista was available, and they are certainly not listed on their website:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=132&prod_no=638
Of course, some might argue that the Master drivers never worked properly under XP, but thats another subject
My honest advice, if you really do have the TV@nywhere Master is to ditch it, and buy a newer card, which does have Vista support.
