Media center doesn't work with PAL...?

[Marcel Martens]

Hi,

Just downloaded and installed Vista via MSDN.
I tried to set up Media Center and all workt fine until i hit Live TV or any
recorded movie of Media Center 2005.

My Nvidia TI4200 driver says NTSC and it will not playback any movie or live
tv.
When I switch to B/PAL for The Neterlands (Where i Live) I reboot the system
and then start Media Center again. I show only flickering image on my TV
when I close Media Center Windows is showed fine and works perfect on my TV.

I'm using a 800x600 resolution at 60hz for the tv and with the old media
center it worked fine.

Does someone know if this is normal because it is still a beta? or is there
any info available somewhere at msdn refering to this?

Thanks in advance,

Marcel

Hmm... it could be a problem similar to how Glass works. You have to have
the screen res. at 1024x768 at minimum for Glass to kick in... so try making
the resolution higher and trying again.

Did it work with any previous builds or Windows XP Media Center Edition? If
not, could well be bad hardware or lack of drivers. Let us know )
