MSI GF4 TV-IN Help??

I have the MSI GF4 128mb ddr 8x on a soyo dragon plus with a athlon 1.13ghz cpu and 512 2100ddr. I can get the tv-out to work, getting my computer screen onto the tv is no problem, but what i want to do is watch some of my vhs tapes on my monitor and transfer some to my computer. I connect the yellow rca jack into the tv and the other end into the video-in on my 4-1 connecter. No programs i use show the tape being played on my tv on my monitor, i want to preview it before i start to record. when i use winproducer or tv viewer,...the screens in the programs are just black, how do i get them to show something??...please help this is my first time trying this so break it down as simple as possible if you can, THANKS!
p.s-any GF4 tv-in guides out there like the tv-out guide at the top of this forum?

also forgot to tell that when i try to install the software included whit the gfx it gives me error.
This is not a qualified MSI system

Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

mhuizing,
nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work , i tested the connection with a friends computer
exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!
My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free :P !!!

MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X tech question

Hi everyone, I hope u can help me with this:
I'm planning on buying a MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTD8X (Video In) from the United States which uses the NTSC system for Video, however where I live we use the PAL system for Video. So my question is will I be able to use the Video In feature of the card ?( ?? Do these cards work using both video systems or are there different video versions of the card?
Thanks in advance!

bondock,
It is my understanding that they will work with both systems. They do not make them market specific.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI gf4 ti4200 td64 64mb
Last week I bought my video card. I didn't have problems until few days ago. Mouse movement in Win XP is choppy, not all the time. I played with sample rate but that didn't help.I tried my old gf2 mx400, and i didn"t have problems. I was reading threads and I realized that the problem may be in power supply. It's a bit old (about 2 years :-) ), iam not sure is it good if it is warm . This problem occurd just after the problem with HD (detection problems, messed HD name..), i checked IDE cable, it's good. 3d expirience is not shownig voltages and temepatures. Fuzzy logic 3 somtimes alerts that the temperature in chassis is 131C!! which is impossible. I sens lack of fps in games.
Please help!

MSi GF4 Ti4800 temp

Hi there
Posted this in the MOBO forum, but got no reply, maybe because this is mainly a Graphics card question ! DOH !
Hope you guys can help !
As you can see in my sig, I have an MSI GF4 Ti4800 in a Neo875P PCB2 mobo. At the weekend I encountered a bit of a problem. After about 6 hours of use, with the CPU running at 100% most of the time (at 46 - 49 degrees) I started to get strange patterns scrolling vertically down the screen. I was unable to make out anything on the screen so I had to hit the reset button. When the machine had rebooted, I ran sppeedfan (v4.13) which reported the GF4 was reaching a temp of around 60 degrees ! When the temp got above 65 degrees I got the wierd patterns again.
This is the first time I've really had a long session since I installed this mobo. Everything else is quite cool - CPU (46-49 degs 100%), HD's (30-35 degs) and case (38 degs).
Is the fact that the North fan is right above the H/S on the GF card causing the card to over heat ? I've removed the fan that came with the card (I've have the card about 14 months or so) and replaced it with a Thermaltake cooper H/S and fan. This HAS made a difference, the temp has not risen above 60 degrees - but this is still really hot.
Is there anything else I can do ? Does the North bridge fan blow or suck ?
Is there much improvement (performace wise) to be had in upgrading to a FX5900 128mb card (MSI or Gainward Gold Sample) ? The MSI FX5900 XT-VTD128 has a fan at the back and front of the card, so I'm wondering if this will foul on the north bridge fan ? Anyone using one of these ?
Thanks
Fred

yea sound like a heat issue with ur ram
u will get grpahical gltches with ur ram such as white spots and also lines this is overheating id perchance a few heatsink for ur memory
also just to let u know
my ti4600 has a full copper heatsink covering all ram and gpu and i get temps of about 65-70 which a well cooled case

Hi m8 i have a similar set up to yourself and found that my graphics card was bloody well hot!!!!
what i done was added a port blower to the left hand side of the graphics card (the fan side) and it fits like a glove without blocking the graphics card fan.
I was left with the problem of the rear heatsink hotting up!!!,,, the cure was to use a spare fan i had off a pentium 2 heatsink and i stuck it on with evostick and routed the 3 pin connector to the motherboard.
It is on solid and the card now runs cool,i did off set it so it blew directly onto the indentation of the heatsink where it contacts the gpu chip..... hope this helps m8...baz

Are MSI GF4 MX 440 or460 working properly?

Dear All,
Since I am not the only one having problem with MSI graphic card based on GF4 MX440 or 460 :O , especially when playing 3D games (for example No one lives forever or Aquanox), I would like to know if someone is the happy owner of a MSI GF4 MX 440 or 460, having no problem of screen freezing when playing 3D games? If so, then could you describe your configuration (motherboard, OS, Processor, PowerSupply and driver)
thanks for your help and your time
Eric
PS: you can email me directly to [email protected] :P

Thanks for your answer,
here more information and more "?"
I have found out that MSI GF4 MX 4x0 are NOT certified by microsoft for compatibility with XP . Well, I am running XP, investment regarding XP software makes graphic card incompatibility minor, considering the price, so I better buy a new graphic card...
In addition it has been reported that GF4MX are not fully functional with DirectX and 3D, in other words they might not work properly from one game to another....
well here are the info, I have updated my bios on my ASUS P4S333, as well as the different driver of the SIS chipset, AGP slot.... no change, I have also tried detonator 28.32, no improvement,
my psu is 300W so it should not be the source of the problem
so I guess this GF4MX440 is a faulty card, and I have to get it replaced....
Now seing problems with other MSI card on this forum (i.e. 4200 Ti ) I would maybe change and go for a ASUS graphic card, or any other brand, any suggestion???

MSI GF4 Ti4600 game image quality poor

I have installed a Geforce 4 ti4600 in my computer and have had nothing but headaches. I have been benchmarking at 11,869 at 1024x768-32 no AA on 3dmark 2001se. The card began to work fine for a little while.
I am now experiencing poor image quality in Battlefield 1942 and unreal 2003. I get blue speckles and horizontal segmentation of images (looks like a sloppy GL graphics.) I have adjusted both core and mem clock settings on the card to reduce possble strains on the card. What are the blue specks? Is it possible my card is shot?

GF4 Ti 4400 help

Hi everyone. I'm running Win xp sp1, AMD xp3200 with 512 meg ram. My motherboard is a Soltek SL FRN Nforce 2 Ultra.
When I play any games on my computer with a resolution of 1280x1024 the bottom 1/4 of my monitor has random small squares that appears. It tends to flicker and tries to emulate the colors of the game i'm playing. There are quite alot of them that appear. However, when I put my resolution down to 1024x768 or lower these squares are gone. I can't go any higher than 1280x 1024 because my samsung 173n lcd monitor doesn't suppoer any higher resolution. Is there anyway I can resolve this problem.
Thanks

10 days ago I bought VGA MSI GF4 MX 440-TD8X, 64 DDR, TV-out, DVI. Everything works fine and I am satisfied from the quality i get, BUT...
Twinview( I mean CLONE function) is not active, so I get view either on monitor, or on TV, but not on them both at the same time.
My cables are OK,draivers too.I triaed to update my VGA BIOS but there isn't newer one!
Please help me!

If you have VGA card ver. 1.00, then use DVI-I connector for monitor, then Clone - enabled.

MSI 990FXA GD80 audio help

Hello I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but i was hoping anyone with a MSI 990FXA GD80 could help me out please, i am having audio problems with my new motherboard when play a video or some music if i open msi control centre or scan for hardware changes in device manager i get terrible sound distortion, i think its happening because my bios is being scanned but this is the first motherboard its happened to me on, could anyone else with a MSI 990FXA GD80 play a video or some music and scan for hardware changes in device manger while its playing to see if it happens to you, thank you for any help.
p.s i am using the latest v11.5 bios and on-board audio, my CPU is overclocked to 4GHz but it still happens on default settings, thanks again.

Quote from: BR4DDERS on 30-September-11, 09:57:21
Hello i have finally fixed my audio problem i use a wireless usb adapter for the internet so i disabled the onboard LAN controller in bios, i disabled it before i even installed windows so i didn't have any drivers for it,
anyway i have it enabled now my overclocks applied an no audio problems what soever. Uncleblitz check to see if you have you're onboard LAN controller disabled.
thanks for all the help guys
[update]
I just tried control center and it still does it, i checked it by scanning for new hardware in device manager because it was quicker to open it doesn't do it there anymore just in control center, so its half fixed

Overclocking MSI GF4 ti4200td 4xagp

I was wondering if anyone knows what are reasonable overclocks for the msi gf4 ti4200 td 4x agp card. Today I adjusted the core to 300 and used the auto adjust feature for the memory and got it up to 567. Things are running stable but I was wondering if this is too high or if there are any limits I should not pass? Can it go higher? I only have the default heatsink and fan for the GPU and no heatsinks on the ram. Should I worry about temps?

If you aren't getting artifacts on your screen then I think it should be fine. Run a few more games and watch for colorful pixels. If you get them then clock down a bit.
Have Fun, don't blow your card
Regards,
Rob

640x480 and above, capture with MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP

could anyone successfully perform this operation ?
The weird thing is that if I set a capture of something like 5 fps in VirtualDub and 640x480 (I tried with several codecs and thought that decreasing the fps would improve the bandwidth usage), it still doesn't want to capture anything -> 0 frames. The maximum I can get (15% frames lost) is 320x200 at 30 fps. I tried to capture directly to memory as it's supposed to be very fast, no luck.
Maybe my system is not monster enough, don't know.... ?( Or could that be the card which is limited for this ?
MSI GF4 Ti4200 VTP - 1 gig RAM (DDR 333), Athlon XP 2100, IBM ICL35 120 GB - OS : W2K.
WDM 1.16 from MSI-CD. I tried with WDM 1.08 too.

your system is fine for this kind of job....
i have no problem in capturing full pal (768x...) in 30 fps (using included wincoder and mpeg1 or mpeg2 codecs) 60% cpu load on duron @1380
virtual bud will need somethong better then 1,3gh duron but i got no problems with 640x480 divx pro 5.02 25fps on my current sysetm (but the cpu load is high 75-90%) (0% frame lost)
some motion codecs (mjpg) will need both fast cpu and fast hdd....
uncompresed will produce so much data that even very fast hdd's will by to slow
but it is in fact weird 15% frame lost on 320x200 is much to high.. what board are u using?? are the latest 4in1 drivers instaled (very important for w2k) by shure that agpx4 and bus mastering are on... are u using any other extensin cards (tv tuner, off board sound, ide, lan??) if yes try removing them
