  • RAINBOW RUNNER HELP!!!

    Hello....

    I have a Rainbow Runner G Series and a Mystique G200 AGP and am running
    Ulead Media Studio Pro which came bundled.

    I have no problem getting output to my television/video, the problem arrises
    when I come to play back an MJPEG AVi file full screen, the quality of
    display and video playback is excellent however the TV display suddenly
    becomes black & white!! this also happens if I play it back direct from
    Active Movie Control & PC-VCR control (obviously the display on the monitor
    is full colour, so is the TV up until full screen playback is activated and
    the card is set for PAL and not NTSC).

    I have seen in the manual for the Rainbow Runner that it only supports MJPEG
    video files at 16 or 32bit - but when I try to change the MJPEG settings in
    Media Studio Pro it only gives me the option of 24 bit. My monitor is
    currently set on 16 bit, I can get the full screen playback function to
    produce colour output if I change the monitor settings but it changes to a
    much smaller display and the playback is very jerky.

    Please can you help, I have some very important video work to do and am
    unable to make a start until this problem is resolved.


    many thanks,

    Hello,

    Well, I can't answer your questions directly, but I do remember these problems from other people...

    You will need to 1) check the Idiots guide FAQ's... http://idiots-guide.matroxusers.com/ and 2) scroll through this forum as far back as you can because there are previous posts somewhere...

    Good Luck,
    Andrew

        The RR will only support overlay on your graphics card at 16bit (and 32bit?). MJPEG uses 24 bits but these two pieces of information are totally independant! Ensure your destop display is set to 16bit and try again.
