Overlay mode won't display recorded programs

I have an MSI GeForce4 MX440-VTD AGP8X card and a Leadtek Winfast 2000XP TV Deluxe tuner card.  Using overlay mode, I can easily redirect the normal cable output from the Winfast PVR application to my TV, and it looks perfectly fine.
However, when I open a stored video file recorded by the Winfast PVR and try to redirect it to the TV, the video will not display....I only get a black screen or a frozen screen of the last image from the analog cable stream.  Overlay mode only plays the incoming analog cable signal and simply refuses to display the playing recorded program.
Audio works perfectly.
Yes, I can play the application in overlay mode with Windows Media Player, but then I lose the ability to use the PVR's remote control to fast forward thru commercials, etc.
I have the latest BIOS on the VGA card and the latest mobo (K7N420D-PRO) bios, and have tried nvidia driver versions 43.45 (currently) and 41.09.  I have even tried turning off overlay mode, starting the recorded program in the PVR, and enabling overlay mode while it's running...no different - just a black screen.
This is the primary functionality I needed in order to turn my bedroom pc into a PVR, and yet it does not work.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated...

I'll try and do my best to describe what it is I'm doing.
I've started out with a “flat” image of a product on a white background with a shadow on it. I need to make the background transparent and so that all I’m left with is the product with the shadow on a transparent background.I want to be able to place this image over another image in indesign and have the background remain transparent.
On the first layer I have a clipped out version of the product with no background (All by itself with no background or shadow). On the second layer I have the original “flat” image with the shadow and white background. On this layer I’ve used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background.
Now that I have the product on one layer by itself and the product and shadow on layer two with the multiply blending mode I have an image of the product with a shadow with no background. When I place this into indesign, my image shows up with the white background as if the multiply blending mode isn’t applied.
I’ve tried this on other images. It doesn’t appear that it lets you bring an image over with that blending mode. It's like I'd have to bring over a clipped image and then place that on top of my original image with a blending mode placed on it "in" Indesign.
Hope that make sense?

  • Layered image with blending mode won't display properly in Indesign CS3

    Hello,
    I'm having trouble placing a layered psd and/or tiff with blending modes into my indesign cs3 document. Basically I have a flattened image with a shadow on a white background. I've had to doctor the image a bit in photoshop and I've used the multiply blending mode to remove the white background. (I'm trying to get around having to clip the image and having to recreate the shadow). Anyone know how I can drop my layered image into indesign and have it keep the blending modes I've applied in photoshop?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • 1 of 2 DVRs won't play recorded programs

    I have 2 DVRs, the 'master' DVR and a secondary one. The secondary one suddenly stopped letting me play recorded show. If I try to play anything, it freezes for about 30 seconds and then goes back to live TV. I've reset the box and used the in-home agent to no avail. Any suggestions?

    OK after many nights of googling I finally came upon a suggestion that fixed this issue.
    Itunes won't recognise a drive letter earlier than c. The Windows 7 defaulted my drive to B. On the surface it seems like a stupid bit of programming logic to me.
    To Fix - Control Panel -> System & Security -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. In the Computer Management select disk management in the left hand pane and this should display all of your drives in the center pane. Highlight you cd/dvd/blu-ray drive and then right click and select change Drive Letter and Paths. Select an unused letter higher than B. Restart itunes and voila the drive appears under devices.

    Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables.  I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
    Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top.  Any ideas?
    Thanks !

    You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
    The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

  • Clamshell mode won't work with OSX Lion

    I am running a 2010 13" Macbook Pro and a Dell ST2410 23" external display. I have been using an HDMI to mini displayport cable with this setup for over a year without a problem. Now my monitor goes dark when I try to setup the MBP in clamshell mode. I even tried to lower the resolution on the monitor to see if that would remedy it, and it won't display anything. This problem first started when I upgraded to 10.6.8, and now is giving me problems in 10.7. Help!

    assuming that you have an external monitor (you said 23"), usb kbd & mouse. How do you start it up?
    I always opened the lid, hit the power and quickly closed before the chime would sound. Do you boot OS X up, then close the lid? Or do you do it as I do?
    My PB is on 10.6.8 and never had any issues, besides running a little hotter..

  • Hp 110-a04 won't display video when my 5670 is plugged in.

    So here's the dealio. Bought a myself an hp 110-a04, threw in the sapphire 5670, doesn't display anything and I get a 6 long beeps beep code. Kill me.
    So, I take out the original PSU (it's only 180 watts), throw in a 400 watt power supply,  toss in the GPU aaaaannnnnnd... still won't display anything and the beep code is back (in the old PC it was in worked fine with the 250 watt psu).
    The computer works perfectly fine without the card, boots up, actaully displays stuff when plugged by VGA. Why it won't display anything is absolutely beyond me. Everything is hooked up to the new PSU, it's just that nothing works with that graphics card in.
    Halp me.

    Hello @HAIRSHAMENSTUFF,
    I understand that you are having issues getting the sapphire 5670 to work with your HP 110-a04 Desktop PC. I suspect that you will have to enable legacy devices in your BIOS. Unfortunately, I do not have access to the BIOS for your computer to provide you with step by step instructions, but if you tap F10 on startup and enter the BIOS you can browse through until you find a way of enabling legacy support or mode.
    I hope this helps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
    Please click the "Thumbs Up" on the bottom right of this post to say thank you if you appreciate the support I provide!

  • Occasionally Firefox 3.6.12 won't display photos on certain sites. Reloading works sometime but not alwasys.

    At times on auction some sites such as ebay, (and others), photos won't display. If I press the reload button there's a chance the photo will display. If reload doesn't work the first time, pressing it 3 or 4 times may work but not always. Closing the site then re-opening works sometimes but not always. Annoying.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Windows 7 Professional XP Mode won't recognize internal DVD or external USB drives

    Windows 7 Professional XP Mode - won't recognize USB external drives or internal DVD drive
    I recently purchased a new Toshiba laptop and ordered configured with Windows 7 Professional so I could use XP mode for some older programs.  The Virtual Mode and XP mode work ok, but the computer will not
    recognize any external USB storage drives or the internal DVD drive.  This prevents me from saving and transferring any file that I work on in XP mode. 
    ,I also tried to copy and paste the file from XP Mode over to a document file to 7 Professional Mode, but it won't allow that.  It also will not recognize any printer when in XP Mode,
    so I can't print out the file either. 
     Basically, I have no way to store or move a file out of the computer when in XP Mode.
    Does anyone know what I need to do so that the computer will recognize the USB drives and internal DVD drive when I am running in XP mode? 

    Checked these ?

  • Java 3D won't display anything

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get Java3D demos to run so I can begin developing a game. The problem is I get nothing but a blank white square the size of the intended 3D display. Everything I've tried (the list is long) has had no effect. When attempted through a DOS window I get an endless repeating list of : "wglCreateContext Failed: the pixel format is invalid".
    The updated drivers for the ATI radeon 9000 pro (all in wonder) shows openGL (classic) is active but nothing 3D is displayed, everything else in Java (2d, swing components, etc.) all displays normally. I've updated DirextX and tried reinstalling Java3D for that format but no change. I'm not familiar with any 3D graphics programming (yet) and it's difficult to understand what won't display. I have posted a bug report with Sun after searching for similar bugs, but all related bugs just show "closed: fixed". Has anyone had this problem or have any clue what I might try (other than waiting) to resolve this issue? Thanks,
    Jerromy

    There are known issues with ATI drivers and java 3D that cause behavior like this. I don`t use direct-X so I can`t sugget anything, except to search the forums at http://forums.java.net/jive/forum.jspa?forumID=70
