DVD max works on Ati radeon's with 'Theatre mode'

Post by **edwin** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 15:06

If you have an Ati radeon videocard check the Overlay settings and look for 'Theatre mode', enable it and start resolume. Activate the dvdmax functionality in the preferences window (misc settings)..undock and dock the output window and voila ..
if this doesn't work right away play around with the settings of your card..or check the specs of your card.

What about the resolution of the video if I use the DVDmax function? Is it limited to 320*240 or can I scale it to 640*480 and if I scale it, is this the real resolution then or is it just a "blow up"?
Thanx for answering

acees your display properties and choose advanced, then look for the overlay tab. Click it and look for the 'theatre mode' checkbox. If it's there enable it, otherwise you have bad luck (try downloading the latest drivers)....
if you activated the theatre mode activate the dvdmax in resolume (preferences->misc). If it doesn't work right away, fool around more with your display settings...remark: this overlay is only possible on your primary display...so your secondary display should display the interface and your primary the overlay...

this all works only in clone mode...
cheers

the resolution will be the same as the output window...that means that if the output window is docked the overlay is 320x240..
in the next version of resolume we will try make them independent..
cheers

I haven't tried this with dual screen but what good is it if it only works in clone mode? That means the video projector will show the resolume controls to the publi. Thats not very good. The small window in the control screen has low resolution. I could "zoom" onto it with the zoom option of the video projector but it doesn't go that far, with the maximum zoom it still leaves a lot of controls visible.
As soon as I get a chance to, I'll try this in dual screen.
bye bye

with the clone mode both displays show the same image untill the overlay is activated, then the primary display is completely filled with the output. the second display will show the interface...connect the primary to a projector or tv...and voila...

...but!...

..on (my) lappy it is not an option to use a secondary display as primary and vice versa..
meaning the LCD is primary for good. no matter what, and that's his final...the checkbox that makes the primary-secondary switch is greyed out. no options..

laugh on, desktop users..
no preview for me on my lcd yet..i used a cable splitter and connect a tiny TV that shows me my output at one particular club that had vj booth (so to cal it) on a very silly position.. before i've had a mirror to get the eye to the screen:) feels like driving a car..

cheers ppl..
keep up the good work
