FX 5200 128 Personal Cinema - Drivers

Please forgive a novice`s question. I`m having problems getting the correct drivers.
The card is used in a PC with an ASUS A7V8X-X, Athlon XP2600, 512mb, CDRom, DVDRom, etc. with Win XP Pro. The present ver. 4.3.51 I`ve made two attempts downloading new drivers - the first was from MS Windows update (ver 5.2.1.6 I think) which resulted in nView Desktop Manager lockup. The second, using MSI live update, caused me to lose my IR Remote icon and the sound from live TV (WinDVR). I`m back where I started and it seems I must await a unique set of drivers for Personal Cinema before anything will work properly. I have no doubt It`s me - something I`ve done or have not done. Any help welcomed.

No thank you, Grand Poobah Global Monitor Glenn, who's icon is a Starfish! (You know they have the same size of brain as a Goldfish!)
I've just off-loaded the the piece of c*** my post referred to due to the same kind of drivers. I did this at a considerable financial loss and thought other subscribers to this forum should have the benifit of my experience. Something they are unlikely to get from a company lickspittal like yourself.  The thread may be two years old but I do not expect to have to replace an expensive vidoe card every two years any more than I would my car!

ChasP,
if we had any idea what problem you were having with your VGA card, then we might be able to help you ???
as it appears you don't want any help and just want to cause trouble, you're not likely to be welcome around these parts for much longer
oh, and in case you haven't already read and observed the Forum Rules, you're probably not aware that none of the admins or mods are in anyway affiliated with MSI, and are just users like yourself

  • Fx 5200-VT128 personal cinema audio connector

    Can anyone tell me if the white connector marked J8 on the card is an audio out connector. I would like to use this to connect to my motherboard cd-in connection.

    Yes J8 Is for Audio Out. You connect it to the Audio in on  your mobo.

  • FX5200 Personal Cinema TV Problem

    TV Not working . No VCR no TV no S-Video
    Please Help
    I install new Nvidia drivers, and all works ok (exclude remote)
    But WinDvr no screen any programs no from TV no from S-video and no from VCR. I connect my VCR to VIDEO-IN connector and if i change source to S-Video or Composite, or TV i see black screen and not more.
    I not have any error messages when i start WinDVR
    And i think that problem in drivers or in card(physical)
    Please Help !!!! S.O.S !!!!  
    thanks

    I`m no expert on this but I`ve had similar problems with my FX5200-128 Personal Cinema card which I have managed to solve. These have included TV picture without sound, unreliable TV capture and channel selection problems. It seems that to get good capture you must start off with a strong aerial signal for the card to work best. This is especially true if you experience poor channel lock.
    If you have TV picture without sound then IMO this points to some conflict/incompatibility with video and audio on the PC. I started with simple onboard audio and only managed to get TV sound after adding a cheap SoundBlaster PCI card (make sure the onboard audio device is turned off in BIOS afterwards to avoid problems).
    I also met a curious problem with TV Standard selection. I live in Greece and the TV Standard used here is PAL-B. The FX5200 setup insisted that this should be SECAM. This caused a lot of grief and the only way I`m able to get good capture is if I use nearby Turkey - which the settings happily accept as PAL-B. This is covered briefly in the User notes somewhere. So, depending where you are, you may have to log to some neighbouring country to achieve optimum capture.
    Hope some of this helps.

  • Personal Cinema TV5200-VTDF128 problem - no channels

    I'm having a problem setting up the TV Tuner on two FX5200 Personal Cinema cards.  System specs are similar:
    System 1:
    =======
    Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
    CPU: Athlon XP2500+
    RAM: Infineon 512MB PC3200 DDR
    HDD: 80GB Maxtor
    CDRW: MSI 52x32x52 CDRW
    FDD: Panasonic
    Vid: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema (TV5200-VTDF128)
    System 2:
    =======
    Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
    CPU: Athlon XP2500+
    RAM: 2x Infineon 512MB PC3200 DDR
    HDD: 120GB Maxtor
    CDRW: MSI 52x32x52 CDRW
    FDD: Panasonic
    Vid: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema (TV5200-VTDF128)
    All drivers have been updated to most recent versions from the MSI or NVIDIA sites, as appropriate.  BIOS for motherboards and video cards have been flashed to most recent versions.
    Problem:
    ======
    When I start Media Center Deluxe II, I get no video (though I can hear audio).  If I do a channel scan, it slowly cycles through each channel number.  During this process, the screen stays black.  Afterwards, if I try to change channels, it tells me to do a scan first.
    When I start MSIPVS, I get video and audio.  When I change channels, it shows the new channel number, but continues to show the original channel.  And when I do an AutoScan, it quickly rips through the whole channel list and leaves all channels marked invalid.  Changing the video input standard (NTSC_M, NTSC_M_J etc) has no effect.  Interestingly enough, the one channel it shows is not always the same.  At first it was showing channel 2, then it was showing 21.
    I have tried various versions of the WDM drivers, both from MSI and NVIDIA.  I have tried the unified multimedia drivers from both sites, as well as the individual drivers (separate WDM and VGA).  I am still getting the same problem on both systems.  All Windows Updates have been done.  The one thing I haven't been able to update is MSIPVS itself, as I have not been able to find a download link for it.
    If anyone has any ideas (or knows where I can download a newer version of MSIPVS) I'd appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance

    Other version of Windows?
    We need a little more info than that if you want anything remotely helpful from anyone here.
    Take a look at some of the thread in here and notice the signature that most users have you can edit it in your profile information.
    Then provide some info on what you did or the process in wich you installed the drivers and the utilities.
    If you have a dual boot setup did you use the latest drivers for each OS?

  • Personal Cinema 5200 Sound Problem/DVD Question

    Hi,
    I'm running
    P4 3GHz Prescott
    1Gb RAM
    Asus P4P800E-Deluxe with onboard realtek 5.1ch sound setup
    MSI 5200 Personal Cinema 128
    Two problems:
    Firstly, I can get my normal 4 TV channels for the area I live in, however I only have sound on 3 of these channels. The other one has sound intermittently come on and off, I've tried re-tuning but that doesn't seem to make any difference (it seems strange that it's the channel with the best reception!!!)
    Secondly, my motherboard came bundled with WinDVD 5, which unlike the Personal Cinema-bundled dvd player supports 5.1 sound...is there any way of getting the NVDVD/remote to open WinDVD instead of the bundled player?  When I try to change the player that the remote opens, it can only find its bundled player...do I have to re-install the Personal Cinema software everytime I install a new media program so that it can find it?
    Regards,
    Nic

    One more thing if the movie is on Full Screen in Cinema Display and the MacBook screen is down and I lift the movie switches to the MacBook as it should d and I get this message:
    The selected movie won't play on one of your connected display
    This movie can be played only on displays that support HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection).
    Try moving the iTunes window to a different display. Make sure the entire window is on the supported display.
    The same thing happens if it was palying in an iTunes Window or a Separate window. 
    Is this normal or another symptom of the problem with the sound and what may be causeing it?
    Thanks,

  • Personal cinema 5200 fx

    i buy a personal cinema fx 5200 everything is ok exept when I capture in movie factory or an other software program there is an inconvenience for about 2or3 mmdownside of the capturescreen.I have the latest drivers

    I have a MS 5200. I got great results after I started reading the http://www.doom9.org website. I have scrapped the programs that came with the card such as Ulead and WinDVR.  I now use the iuVCR recorder from IULABS at http://www.iulab.com and record AVI files using the Huffyuv codec. You can get it at http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/huffyuv.html and install it, the iuVCR will find it, then it's a matter of trial and error to get the right adjustments Then I take the TMPG decoder from http://www.tmpgenc.com/ and convert the AVI file to MPEG. One can get great results with this card, but trying to record and compress the video in one shot is the problem with this card, it's too much for a computer. It takes for example around 5 hours to compress a 2 hour film with TMPG. So it comes as no surprise that it doesn't work so well in it's natural state.

    I'm afraid there is no definitive answer to this problem. I have the same problems and the main protagonists MSI and nVidia couldn't give a   . This is a serious software problem and it looks like it will never be solved. I'm running the latest Personal Cinema driver v56.64, which does actually load the capture driver, but NVDVD, NVREMOTE etc, have to be loaded separately.

  • 5200 Personal Cinema MSI-8918 NEW SOFTWARE

    Hello folks,
    it seems newer Personal Cinema (but not from MSI) and NVTV cards are coming with the new Forceware Multimedia Application instead of WinDVR and NVDVD.
    Who knows what is MSI's and NVIDIA's politics for upgrading the users to the new software?
    Because the old software SUCKS! Just two examples:
    - WinDVR deinterlaces during capture and makes a mess of your captured TV footage!!
    - NVRemote has that nvgpio bug and can't be customized.
    Let's ask MSI to give us the new software! Do you agree with me?
    Thanks!

    It seems you are pleased with the current software! Then why you are posting so many threads with problems?

  • Problem with FX5200 Personal Cinema and DirectX 9 - serial reboots

    I'm hoping someone here can help, because I'm pretty much at the end of my rope here.  Here are my system specs:
    HARDWARE
    ========
    Motherboard: MSI KT6V-LSR
    RAM: 2x 512MB Infineon PC3200 DDR
    CPU: Athlon XP2500+
    Video: MSI FX5200 Personal Cinema 128MB
    HDD: Maxtor 160GB
    CDROM: MSI DVD/CDRW Combo
    SOFTWARE
    ========
    Windows XP Home SP1
    All available Windows Updates
    Norton SystemWorks 2003
    MSI bundled drivers and software
      MSIDVD
      MSI Personal Cinema
      MSI Live Update 3
    The problem is, I get serial reboots (computer boots to desktop, then reboots within a few seconds) unless I start in safe mode, or use MSConfig to disable all startup items.  Enabling even a single startup item, no matter what it is (NVCPL, any of the Norton tasks, etc) results in serial reboots.
    Troubleshooting steps taken so far:
    =======================
    Replace RAM - (single 512 or 2x512) no effect
    Replace motherboard (same model) - no effect
    Replace video card (same model) - no effect
    Replace CPU (same model) - no effect
    Replace power supply (w/ 450W) - no effect
    Update all drivers, MBD BIOS, VGA BIOS, DVD/CDRW BIOS w/ Live Update 3 - no effect
    Install Windows XP but don't install any Windows Updates - computer functions normally
    Install DirectX 9.0b - serial reboots
    Roll back to DirectX 8.1 - computer functions normally
    Install DirectX 9.0a - serial reboots
    Replace video card (GeForce MX440) - computer functions normally
    Throughout this whole process, Windows XP was reinstalled clean about five times - just to be sure the issue wasn't caused by file corruption in the install.
    Anyone have any suggestions?  Do I have to go with a different video card?  Or is there something obvious I've missed?
    -Cameron

    Try to put another video card on the computer.
    Try the video card on another machine.
    Try the lastest driver (there will be a new driver from http://www.nvidia.com tomorrow or may be a few days later).
    Try the lastest motherboard bios.
    Install the monitor driver.
    Install WinXP SP1

  • 3d blaster personal cinema with another graphiccard?

    hey.
    i've got your tv tuner. While I don't have an agp slot for the card, i would like to use your tuner with another graphic card.
    is that possible and if yes, how?
    are there any drivers for linux?
    cheers

    Just to provide an update:
    I tried out the SR731 RF repeater with the Personal Cinema FX5200 remote (UR88A). It does not work.
    Fortunately, by moving the RF receiver further away from the PC with a USB extension cable, the range improved.

  • Sound channel problem with Personal Cinema FX500

    WinXP SP1
    MBoard : ASUS P4S533
     (CMI8738 on-board Audio)
    MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 MS-8918
    The problem is that in the setup of WinDVD, the only audio source i can choose in WAVE,
    but the sound output of the video tuner is on Line-In, of course.
    Because of this problem, the remote affects the volume of WAVE, and has no effect on the Line-In channel. And, of course, when recording, the sound on the wave channel is recorded,
    so, no sound !
    Any one encountered this problem ? I installed the drivers on the original CD.

    After nearly 3 months, I came up with the answer myself:
    I installed a new driver (639) for the CMI8738 on-board sound and now the "Line In" option appears in the WinDVR setup.

  • [GeForceFX] Configuring NV Remote (nvarem.exe) to open different programs in Personal Cinema

    Hi all,
    We have an FX 5200 Personal Cinema card with the NVIDIA Remote Control and the NV remote software installed. Whilst this is OK, it is a little limiting. I wanted to change one of the assignments for the DVR software as we have updated WinDVR 2 to WinDVR 3.
    I have trawled through the registry looking for entries that could relate to NV Remote or nvarem.exe but have come up with nothing.
    Is there a way of hacking NV Remote to work with the programs I want, or is there other software that would work with the NVIDIA X10 remote control hardware?
    On another note, is there better software the Intervideo’s WinDVR to view and record TV programs from the Personal Cinema card work with the NVIDIA remote?
    Swin

    Also, does this version of personal cinema support teletext? I can't seem to get this via WinDVR 3 or find out any info form MSI.

  • Personal Cinema issue

    I recently installed an MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 VT128 into my system and for the most part everything is fine, however, I have just tested dubbing a VHS composite signal from my VCR using the supplied WinDVR program. It seems to record OK but on playback the middle third is just a white band!! I've changed settings but nothing seems to cure this. Any suggestions?
    My system includes:
    MSI K7N2 Delta Motherboard
    AMD 2500+ (not overclocked)
    512MB DDR 3200 RAM
    MSI FX5200 VT128 PC Video card
    Audigy 2 sound card
    LG 4040B DVD Recorder
    Intel based Modem

    Thanks for the reply. I looked for the WDM driver listing in the add/remove section of the control panel but none where listed so I installed the new (1.08) drivers as you suggested with no change. The add/remove section now lists the nvidia WDM driver. I removed it and tried installing it again but still no luck, I still have the white band.
    I should point out the I had a Hauppauge PVR250 in my system previous to the Personal Cinema card so there may be an old driver from that installation that doesn't show up in the add/remove listing. (I did uninstall all the visible drivers and software from Hauppauge before removing that card and installing the Personal Cinema card.) Any ideas on how to find the old driver and eradicate it? I don't fancy doing a complete reinstall!! I have Windows XP Pro in my system.
