2) How much control over video output is there? my biggest problem with my current setup is that the TV overscan is unadjustable and far too large. 3) Is the TV output properly interlaced? what about when playing a DVD which is progressive-scan (most movies) ?
The best thing to do is getting an 'older' card ( rev 1.3 or 1.5 I think they're named ), and use the RGB output capabilitys. Maybe feed the signal to an iScan or similar to adjust over/underscan.
Ugh. So if I understandf you correctly, the overscan isnt controllable in the card?

My TV has only got composite input (bleh) and the last thing I need to be doing is adding scan converters (or anything else for that matter) into the chain... the quality is bad enough already ;-)

on an alternative note - does the iScan convert any RGB out of the correct frame size to composite TV? if so, I could connect it to the RGB (VGA) output on the PC and play the video through that. but how would it cope with interlacing ?

basically, I want really really good TV output from both DVB and DVD,
possibly divx (how does that work on these cards?) too.
With the mplayer plugin you can watch DivX etc. ( Needs CPU for DivX->MPEG )
how much CPU? My system is an ME6000 so its not got a lot of grunt really...
