  • MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 TV-OUT problem (overscan?)

    Hello!
    I have a very annoying problem with my MSI Personal Cinema FX5200 graphics adapter / tv-card combo. I use it as a HTPC, record tv, play music and watch dvd and digital video. I use bsplayer to view digital video and it works fine.
    But when I try to watch dvd's in full screen with my 16:9 32" Sony, I think the card overscans the image and big partitions from upper & lower screen are not displayed. This is especially annoyting, because I use subtitles. The lower line of the subtitles is 2/3 hidden when I view dvd in full screen on the tv, and I believe this is because the overscan "zooms" the view over-screen.
    As said this problem does not exists with digital video (mpeg, avi or what ever), only with dvd-disks. I have tried three different dvd-player softwares, so the problem is not with the software. I have tried WinDVD, PowerDVD etc. The problems persists.
    I can negate the problem by useing two displays, entering the screen settings in TFT desktop and using the - button to zoom the tv image into smaller - but you can imaginate this is very annoying. Even when I save the setting, it resets when I start viewing a new dvd and I have to zoom it again to fit into the viewable area of the television. When I am using the TV as single display I cannot even do this - because the "overscan" problem happens only when playing full-screen dvd (not on desktop or any other full-screen image).

    MSI finally replied to my questions regarding this problem. Without answering the question directly here is what they have to say:
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    There is no need to install nvidia standard VGA driver (eg . 56.64 or 53.03) . Therefore, please try to reinstall OS, for Personal Cinema FX5200-VT128 driver, please refer to http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/dr...ail.php?UID=459 for driver and patch and capture driver.
    Thank you for supporting MSI product. Please feel free to let us know if you still have any further issues or inquiries.
    Best regards,
    MSI Technical Support
    I'd already reinstalled my OS (WinXP Home sp1) and then reintalled Personal Cinema v2.25 from the MSI disc and the display driver from the second disc I got with the card, v45.33. This seems to have solved the problem for me. Not so far removed from what MSI are suggesting, so it seems that whichever way you go, you must reinstall your OS. That ain't so bad. It's reinstalling everything else which takes the time.
    Good luck to you all.

  • 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?

  • 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

    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

    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 FX5200

    Hi,
    A customer bought an personal cinema in my shop, but now he want's to connect his coax-tv cable to the personal cinema card but he can't browse channels.
    I haven't workt with the card yet, so I've got no clue on how to solve it, or how to configure the card that it works with an TV-Cable.
    Could anyone help me and explain me how to configure it or give me a link to a manual that explains how to make it work with a coax-tv-cable.  
    I'm hoping that someone could give me a quick answer because I want to help that customer asap.
    Thx In Advance.

    Regards from Sweden Guys,
    Same problem here! I have W2k and I at least got the remote to function as a cordless mouse. The channel selector doesn't work, the text TV buttons don't work, none of it works and to make it more frustration, if I used the mouse function to start the recording button, I got simply horrible video recordings, go figure...
    I am getting excelent video recording now, no stutttering, no sync problems, just a great picture. I junked the uLead and the WinDVR programs and I use iuVCR or Virtual VCR to record a TV program in AVI format using Huffyuv codec, then I take TMPG to compress an 80 gig 2 hour film to 4 gig. Works great now!

  • Personal Cinema White Box problem but NOT Macrovision

    About 3 times per hour a white box appears in captured video for 5 seconds. It is full width and half height placed centrally in the frame.
    Internet research indcates it might be a driver/Macrovision problem but WDM drivers V108 do not fix it and it appears randomly on non-Macrovision TV input and in all my video capture programs.
    I've tried clean installs of XP Home/Professional/SP1/SP2 VGA drivers from 4533 to 6681 and WDM drivers from 108 to 223 and I've not been able to fix it. It happens in all capture programs including WinDVR V1 & 3, Ulead DVD Movie Factory.
    I can't produce the box "at will" but worst offenders are TV cable box on a digital channel and VCR (home movies) both on the composite input.
    I don't believe it is directly macrovision as I CAN capture a DVD (played back through the composite video in) which won't copy onto a VCR.
    The symptoms seem so like the reported macrovision problems and it's driving me up the wall that WDM V108 does NOT fix the problem.
    Does anybody else have the white box with the WDM108 drivers?
    Thanks
    Card Bios: 4.34.20.19.01

    MikeF,
    I haven't tried WDM 1.08 because of the code 10 error.
    I didn't know if you were aware of this but this same package is marketed by MSI, EVGA and PNY (there may be others as well). My post on the NVidia board has been ignored for days now. I'm in dialogue with a guy from PNY but he has no constructive ideas on how to solve the problem. People have posted our exact problem on the EVGA board as well. There have been no responses. PNY doesn't even have a forum.
    The Nvidia Forceware multimedia program that I have to schedule and capture with is beta at best. Way too many bugs and absolutely no update or support in sight.  On occasion I build PC's for friends and family and I'm going to include the NVidia 5700 as a graphics card on the next one I build. I'll make no mention of it's other alleged capilbilities. It is an OK graphics card.
    I don't fault MSI at all in this, they have to trust that the products coming from NVidia do indeed work as advertised. In this case it doesn't. There are just too many obstacles to overcome at this pace, so I decided to move on to a Hauppauge WinTV-PVR for capturing. My Dell GX270 has onboard video that will be fine for this PC's purpose which is video work only.
    The one thing that I've learned is to stay away from NVidia products, there are other vendors who make products that have been fully tested and hopefully supported well.  I don't feel much like being part of NVidia's beta program any longer.
    To Glenn: Thank you sir for your responses. Of the various avenues that I've pursued you were the ONLY one who provided good suggestions and feedback. Even though it didn't work out (yet) thanks for trying.
    I'll be checking back in from time to time to see when and if this gets resolved.

  • Personal cinema video-in problem

    Hi,
    When I capture video from my camcorder or video there are 2 lines visible. On the left I have a small green line, on the bottom it is a small crumbled line. I reinstalled a few times, updated all MSI and Nvidea drivers, but no luck.
    The shop where I bought my computer says it is normal with this card. Is this the case or can people here capture without a problem?
    Does anyone know a solution for this problem?

  • Personal Cinema FX5200 128MB

    I am a new user of this card.  I bought with hopes of watching taped TV programs on a near-by TV.  The card records great.  I love the schedule feature of WinTV.  However, using the brakout box (RCA cables- not S-video) to connect to my TV gives no video.  All video is fine on PC monitor.  I have upgraded to Win media player 9.  Any other ideas?  Thanks.

    i am getting same problem but i only get this problem when i have tv out enabled  this is happenning in other programmes as well like nvdvd and power dvd . powere dvd is not recognissing graphics card in tv out mode when hardware accelaration is activated. i have tried all possible setting s and will not sort problem out. in standered 1 monier mode everything is fine no stuttering or picture problems. i think it is driver issue. :O

  • 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.

  • Personal Cinema and S-Video input

    My Personal Cinema FX5200 set up works fine on TV-tuner and Composite Video, and I get good picture quality, and good sound using the Ulead Videostudio 7 software ( and Nero VisionExpress, too)....but when I use an S-Video lead from my VCR into the break-out block, I get black and white images only. I can live with capturing from the composite leads, but why doesn't the S-Video lead work? I have checked and double-checked all the settings, and have run out ogf ideas.
    Is anybody else having this problem with S-Video input?
    Does anyone have any suggestions where I might be missing something?
    Any help much appreciated...I don't like these little problems beating me!

    Ricardo this is not solution for you. Using S-Video cable can be used for video signal transfer only.
    Do you want to have picture without sound. I don't think so.
    I have made similar experiments and I have copied old VHS cassettes to my old Qosmio G30. Later I have converted recorded material and created DVDs.
    My Qosmio G30 has antenna in port and I have connected my VHS recorder to this port and transferred video and audio signal. I have for example started video on VHS recorder and started Windows media centre and scanned all channels and on channel 33 I saw my recorded material that comes from connected VHS recorder.
    I have tested recording with Qosmioplayer and MCE. Using both options I was able to use record option and have video material on HDD.
    I am sure the same can be done with G40. Check it out.

This is a serious software problem and it looks like it will never be solved.
