More progress.


By updating directX with a simple download and setting up
the video player's channel 4 and manually selecting channel
4 at the WinTv program I have video.


Magic. :-)


It's like hearing sound for the first time from an mp3 file.


The picture is pretty crappy though. The vid card is an
ancient ATI and the soundcard is also minimal on this
scratch system on which I am setting up.


Specific problems I'm noticing is poor resolution and failure
to keep up with some images.


Even so, I'd like to try to record to the 15G drive attached
just to see if I get anything.


As to sound, the WinTv and my soundcard both have
multiple connections.


There's a mini jack (1/8 in) line out on the capture.


The manual says the capture card won't do sound by itself.


So the next connection to make is from 1/8 line out to
soundcard line in ?


What I don't want to do is confuse the connection of the
1/8 jacks with the four pin headers used to go to cdrom
to get working sound monitored.


Thanks for your patience. All I really need is to be pointed in
the right direction. You may feel that FAQs do that. I find that I struggle with too much content and linkages which may
be for the current purposes a dead end.


There will always be noobs coming in here. 'Verbal' responses tend to get through what is old info on the FAQs---
some I noted from 2003.
