if a DXR3 doesnt fix your rotation problem, then it's your TV. the field coils on the back of the picture tube controls this.
I used to fix TV's before they became a throw away item that they are today. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Bettencourt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 11:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] Re: overscan settings and dxr3 Gray, Tim wrote: > I use the DXR3 simply because it's easier to get/setup/and install than it > is to actually get my hands on G400 cards. > > > Nvidia cards are a major pain in the arse to get working, 2 cards that are > supposed to be the same will act 100% different in the same machine. I think the nvidia are super-simple to setup, however, they look bad in TV mode. I am fighting a rotation of image problem on the TV. I have seen it with 3 different NV cards to different degrees. I know it is the card because it is rotated even in the BIOS config page. I was thinking of trying the dxr3 card to fix this. > > I also modify the dxr3 card to have a video out RCA for composite video.

The nice thing is that spdif is much cleaner cabling than RCA and my amp does not take in 6-RCA inputs. Maybe I will get one of these, like I said, they are cheap for what you get and if it fixes my rotation problem then great. > > One strange side effect, the DXR3 should take more processor power to > display a divx file as mplayer is transcoding the divx to mpeg2 and then > sending it to the dxr3, but it doesn't.
