  • IRQ problem with Matrox G400 TV

    I desperatly need help.
    I just got the card. It's the Matrox Marvel G400-TV. The capture worked the
    first day. But the next day when I tried to capture pressing the record
    button in the TV Remote, a error message comes up saying:
    -----------------------------------------
    Unable to record using the current settings.
    Make sure the path to your recording is still valid. If it is, try lowering
    the record settings on the "Recording" property sheet, or lower your display
    resolution and color palette settings. (A 16-bit color palette is
    recommended) If you're still unable to record, try reinstalling your Matrox
    video software.
    ------------------------------------------
    I tried changing resolutions. I also uninstalled and
    reinstalled the new drivers/video utils many times. The same error message occurred in
    other resolutions also. The TV tuner works. I can see the picture and
    everything. TV Out is fine also. It's just the capturing got messed up
    somehow. I also have a STB TV Tuner which is still in my computer. When i
    first installed the matrox everything worked great. But then I uninstalled
    all the STB drivers. Im not sure if this caused the problem. I took out the STB card and it still wasn't working.
    I made sure that all the drivers for the device were uninstalled.
    I also got another problem. I cannot output AVI's. I can output
    MPEG's but the sound is gone. When I output a realmedia video it works fine
    with sound+audio. Please help me out if you got any additional info. I
    really need to be able to capture again soon... It was all working great
    till today. I have already emailed Tech support but I have heard that
    sometimes they dont answer...
    My Marvel G400 is sharing IRQ 09 with my Creative Sound Blaster AudioPCI 64V
    Sound card, it is the ES1371 chip. I don't know how to change the IRQs.
    I have taken out my STB card and reinstalled the drivers for the Marvel and
    still have gotten nowhere... Please help me out.. My bios suck. I got Phoenix Bios with Motherboard 4M4PBOX1.15A.0018.P09 The only selections other than auto are to share the IRQ with 1-3 things. Which pretty much sucks for my situtation. I'v tried changing it many times but have gotten nowhere. I have 2 IRQ's free. Thanx for trying to help, any more would be highly appreciated cuz this problem is blowing my brain since I got the card for mainly capturing.
    Thanx
