Thread: FV24 wasted space on video out problem

did anybody try this to see if it works? I see its been downloaded 11 times. I havent had time to try it yet.

I tried with winXP. It says something about the tv-out device not being detected but asks if i want to start anyway. I do and most of the functions don't work. It will change the resolution but not resize. Maybe i installed/ran the program wrong but i couldn't get it to work. Anyone else have any luck??

Guys Guys.... i have answered this question on a previous post ( go do a search or something)

anyway, I methodically went through all the BIOS releases and drivers.... and found out that the OLDER BIOS does not have the border ( or the border is well minimized than the newer one), so go try that, and make sure you download the CORRECT drivers for that BIOS release.

also,... another thing is if you use resolution of 800X600, the border is minimized even more. Don't know why but it is for me. I barely see the border in my 6.8" LCD screen.

I did some digging and found my thread here:

Nice info for FV24 owners.

so go n do a search before asking the same questions over and over again. I must have seen at least a dozen people posting new threads asking about info on the fv24 tv out problem....
if you want it without a border whatsoever email shuttle =)

Has anyone successfully downloaded the so15 or stv2 bios from shuttle? I cant extract the actual bios from either. I get a crc check error. The utility extracts fine though. Also the 2 newer bios stva and stvh work fine.

moahdib,
Did you ever try windows 2000pro? Shuttle has drivers for this os for the stvh bios. I was just wondering what complaints you had about this os. I tried windows 98. I got the same results you did with the display in me, 800by600 works best. I would like to use 640-480 if at all possible. I am currently installing windows me but the cd has a nick on the top of it, i hope it works. I tried windows xp with no luck filling the entire display. I did find an option in the xp registry though for scaling ratio in the s3 folder. I could fill the entire display by modifying this but the video would continuosuoly roll up horizontally. I guess that means it was out of sinc. I used the newest bios and the xp video drivers for that install. Thanks for the link to the shuttle faq page by the way. You can download a data sheet for the video decoder on the from www.chrontel.com. Good luck desyphering it though.
