Matrox geeft inmiddels zelf ook toe dit niet voor elkaar te krijgen..
To our Marvel G-200, Marvel G-400 Marvel, and RR-G customers:
We regret to inform you that Matrox is cancelling all MJPEG support under Win2K. Although this product was only intended for use under Windows 98, we did decide to take on the challenging task of supporting Hardware MJPEG under Win2K.
After months of development work, we have come to the conclusion that it will not be possible to offer any stable support for MJPEG under Win 2K due to the complexity of the MJPEG format and the OS itself, and thus we have abandoned the effort. Matrox will provide a suite of display drivers and video tools supporting TV tuning, 2D, 3D,
DualHead and DVD.
The capture portion for Windows2000 video tools will be the following:
- Marvel G400 will have YUY2 and RGB capabilities.
- RRG and Marvel G200 will have RGB capabilities.
The capture and editing portion will be accessed by 3rd party applications such as Ulead MSpro and Video Studio, however Matrox will not provide technical support for these applications.
As always, clients are more than welcome to post any problems they may have with our vidcap driver and have their fellow clients help them.
Due to the accesibility of YUY2, clients can now capture in Mpeg and vcd format directly which removed the need to convert mjpeg files into mpeg format.
In order to finalize RGB and YUY2 stability with third party video applications, this may take upto 3 weeks for the driver release.
Please note that the eTV series of products are not affected by this decisio
Wat wel weer netjes is, is dat ze je niet laten barsten, maar tot een tussenoplossing proberen te komen:
For Matrox Hardware MJPEG users with Windows 2000 (Marvel G200, Marvel G400 TV, Rainbow Runner G).
As you may know, Matrox recently advised its customers that our internal efforts to provide software support for MJPEG under Windows 2000 have been curtailed due to technical difficulties experienced. While the MJPEG products were clearly sold as only supporting Windows 98 and Windows 95, we have received much feedback from customers who have upgraded to Windows 2000 and are now unable to utilize the Hardware MJPEG capabilities of their card. In an effort to offer some relief to such affected customers, Matrox is putting together a limited-time rebate program for various hardware and software products worth a total value of US $475.
This rebate program is an instant* discount from list price offer available for the following products on Matrox's and Ulead's online store
