I recently bought a Matrox G400 MAX with Dualhead. I got myself a S-Video extension cord and a SCART -> S-Video converter to connect it to my VCR. When I connected it to my VCR I only got black and white images. I then connected it to the SCART connection on my TV, but this resulted in the same black and white images. My TV also has a direct S-Video connection and when I plugged the S-Video extension cord into this one it worked just fine (in colour). The reason I want to connect my computer to my VCR is, because I can then record my desktop onto a videotape. I've looked at the settings in the Display -> Settings -> Advanced -> Dualhead (I'm using Windows 98). I checked under the Desktop TV Settings and the DVDMax TV Settings and made sure the 'Black and White' option was not checked. Furthermore I tried the three different options that are under 'Output cable type (Europe only)'. I only got an image when I put that to Composite or S-video. The other 2 options (SCART - Composite and SCART- RGB) gave a scrambled picture on my TV (also when I recorded a part of it with my VCR I got a scrambled recording).
My question is: What is wrong with it and how can it be fixed. I would like to use the SCART connection on my VCR, but when it only delivers black and white images it is of no use.
Hope someone can help.....
