Problems with PAL-M using MSI G4Mx420

I?ve just upgraded from my (good) old Voodoo3 to a brand-new Geforce4 Mx420 DDR, and tried to use the "revolutionary" nView in my PAL-M tv set (i live in Brazil=5 times soccer world champ ;) . The image was there... in B&W! The nView proprieties include "PAL-M" and "Brazil" under the video standard options, but it seems that Windows doesn?t understand that (since i can get colors under the DOS prompt - full screen).
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? ;( so i?ve upgraded to recent technology hoping to deliver AT LEAST pal-m color compatibility and i can?t even see if Spiderman?s clothes are red? Someone please help... is it Detonator XP that sucks... or what?

Athlon XP 1600+ w/ ECS K7S5A, 128 DDR, G4 420Mx. DetonatorXP 29.40 on Win ME

:O Helloow!

A porra da placa da MSI não funciona capturando PAL-M. :p

My MSI G3TI200 don?t capture in PAL-M format (standard used in Brazil - The best country of the world!).
The TV-OUT is OK, but the VideoIN display in Black&White. I use Windows XP Pro, with MSI Detonator 30.00 and MSI WDM 1.16.

My CPU is a PIII 1GHz, 256RAM, 30GB HD.....

Anywhere can help us? ?(

Meu lance eh com a saida, ja q a Mx420 naum tem captura...

My problem isn?t even with video capture... i can?t WATCH MY MOVIES nor PLAY MY GAMES nor SEE WINDOWS in color mode with PAL-M.

but dealing with capture (feature wich the mx420 doesn?t have), i don?t know what could be your problem...

the true is that MSI (or NVIDIA) could not claim that their product supports PAL-M if it doesn?t OR doesn?t have drivers to do that (wich is the same thing)....

i?ll try to install detonator 30.00 today...
maybe i get lucky with video-out.

Estou com o mesmo problema, ja tentei atualiza?ão dos drivers, ja consultei ate a Philips que produz o chip SAA7108, que ? o responsavel pela parte da captura e no projeto consta que ha suporte para PAL-M.
Mas nao consigo achar um drive que tenha a op?ao de PAL-M.

Acho que vou ter que comprar um adaptador PAL-M para NTSC. X(

Hi,

I join others in this thread. After spending hours trying to configure my card, I finally found someone in this forum who hint me the only driver to make Tv-out work properly was the nvidia 28.32. But for video-in, capture is still black and white (I use nvidia WDM 1.08).
I already sent two messages to MSI, one to the Miami branch (?) and another one to the address in TW. But no answer yet. Isn't Brazil's market worth some engineering effort from the maker? If not, why bother stamping a review from a Brazilian TI magazine on MSI's front page considering G4MX460-VT the "Choice of the Month"?(http://www.msi.com.tw/html/award/awardnews/20020801003.htm2002/08/01)

Well, after a long time trying... trying... and, maybe... trying, with detonator 28.32, or with XX.XX, my brand-new GF4MX refuses to show colors on my PAL-M TV.
OOOOOOOhhh, i?ve almost forgot, i?ve got colors in DOS mode!!! (WOW, i can edit text in ms-"edit" with COLOR - blue...)
I think this is absourd. It looks like the modern technologies are SO modern that they don?t do its job plain and simple anymore. Tell me what do i do with Nview, NDesktops, N*This and N*That if my screen is B&W just like back in the fifties? It is because of things like that i?ve always worshiped the Voodoo series. I?ve NEVER EVER had any problem with my V3, so why NVIDIA, that claimed to be the 21st century graphics company makes such clowny products that can?t even show colors? The worst side is that they made dishonest marketing, the product box garanted that PAL-M IS supported.
Without anything more to declare, my solution was to pay a few $15 for a NTSC to PAL-M converter, and promess to myself NEVER EVER buy NVIDIA gear anymore... not for the extra-cost of my new transcoder, but for the false claims of their product. LONG LIFE ATI!!!

I couldn't get pal-m to work either. When I tryied downloading the new drivers from Nvidia or MSI, the TV-out stopped working at all (The image was all messed up, looked like static). It didn't even work on NTSC!!!!!
