HP Video Card Compatibility Problem...

[CharlieIT]

I'm trying to help someone who just purchased an HP Pavillion 764N computer. He wants to install a good video card that has Video-in capability so that he can create DVD's from VHS tapes (he already has a DVD burner).

I recommended a really nice Nvidia AGP card. However, when I tried to install it, it didn't work at all. I called HP and they told me that his system cannot handle videoshadowing, and that there is no way to disable it in the BIOS.

So now I am looking for a good video card that has Video In and Out that will be compatible with an HP Pavillion 764N. We have contacted HP several times and they have been useless. I don't want to keep trying cards because we have to pay a restocking fee each time we send them back.

Does anyone know what kind of card would be compatible with this system?

We had a similar problem with a HP and after several differant cards were tried (ATI's and Nvidia) we ended up changing the motherboard, the new board had no problems with the GF4. Martin
