[NTLUG:Discuss] Voodoo3 3000 TV Out

[MontyS@videopost.com]

Greetings.

Tell me more about your setup, if you don't mind.  My home VHS machine is
about dust, and I really don't want to buy another one, and I don't want to
play the TIVO/REPLAY game.

Do you have a program that drives the box similar to a vcr?  What type of
codec are you using for video storage?  How much and what type of storage do
you have?  Have you been able to get decent quality video with real-time
playout?

Any other information would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you don't mind the questions.  I have been wanting to do this for a
while now, but haven't had the time/money to pursue it.

I feel like a kid looking through the window of a candy store.  Or, me
looking at a Corvette...

Thanks.

Monty

	Greetings!  I am running Redhat Linux 7.3 with a Voodoo3 3000 video
card.  I am trying to make this a multimedia machine to record onto and
watch movies off of.  I will eventually get an ATI All-In-Wonder but I came
by the Voodoo for real cheap (free) so I am going to use it for now.
Anyways, I have the s-video out plugged into my tv.  It probably does not
matter but my TV is a 51" Phillips.  The TV is receiving the signal and
looks great during bootup but as soon as the GUI initiliazes it becomes
fuzzy lines.  I assume that this is a problem with my Refresh Rate but I am
not all that great with the XF86Config file and am not sure if I have
changed it right.  Can someone help me or point me to a place where I can
get some step-by-step instructions on how to configure my XF86Config to work
best for a TV?  Thank you VERY much.
