Can't Use ATI (Cyberlink) Decoder

[msm]

Does anyone know how to get hold of these decoders in the UK? I have an ATI card (2 infact - 9500 and 9200), but it won't let me install the decoders using it (i get the no valid ati disk). I can't buy it off the ati website because it wanot ship to the uk!

Argggg - any ideas anyone?

Cheers,

Matt

EDIT: Think i got it - there is a link on ATIs website - still in US but will ship to UK

I'll have to look - my ATI came with MMC (AIW 9000 Pro.. with the damn heatsink glued on)

Well, I got the Cyberlink codec working.. it looks about the same as Elecard, maybe a little fuzzier..

now, where is the reg setting for hardware acceleration on the ATI?

Any other suggestions? I can not get this to work. No listing of these decoders in my detailed settings drop downs. The text string I am using are:

videoframe/additional_audio_filters=Cyberlink Audio Decoder (ATI),Audio In,Audio Out

videoframe/additional_video_filters=Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (ATI),Video In,Video Out

I have the most recent ATI DVD decoders installed, it appears in my Add/Remove porgrams in Control Panel as ATI DVD Decoder 2.2.0.0

I am having the same problem that kolky reported....

Everytime I try to add this and then I start Sage, the filters do not show up and then when I go back into the properties file, it has removed everything I have added. I'm assuming it is replacing the properties file with the backup properties file.

Is it possible that the phrase "Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (ATI)" is no longer correct with the newest decoder? Or, is the use of "Video In,Video Out" specific to a different configuration? I just tried to plagarize (i.e. cut and paste) from this thread based on what worked for others. I have Svideo coming into the PVR 350 and DVI output on an AIW 7500.

OK....the plot thickens. I have an installation of SageRecorder that I just had success with this text string.....

Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (ATI),Video In,Video Out


BUT....I still can't get the same exact string to work on the most recent version of SageTV. This wouldn't be because I have a trial version of SageTV while I have a fully purchased version of SageRecorder would it??

Make sure SageTV is exited (not just sleeping) when you make the changes to the properties file and make sure you are making changes to sage.properties not the auto backup that is corrected.

Thanks msm....that was the ticket...for some reason I got hooked on the autobackup while doing it with SageTV, while I used the correct file in SageRecorder. Got it working now.

Heh. Just thinking about what i had done in the past
