Catalyst Media Center, is this the new MMC...???

CJLMTLCA · Jul 21, 2006, 04:19 AM

I hope this is the answer to all our prayers, if of course it works with all TVW and AIW cards...

I did a search and this article comes up on the ATI sight, looks like new? TV Wonder software:

There you will see a link for CMC or goto the Theatre650 link.

omg...

hopefully a new crew has moved in actually started work on making software that works for the AIW

H3X4D3C1M4L · Jul 21, 2006, 08:19 PM

I wouldn't get the hopes up. I read about this on Rage3D's interview with the AiW manager dude (booo, hiss).

I bet first revision we don't get support then following revisions we get the shaft once again as it fails to provide the functionality promised.

Going by ATI's track record thus far anyway.

Sorry but I don't cruise the ATI website unless a driver release that affects my hardware has come out. This does not so..... With the pathetic mess of non functioning AIW drivers and lack of quality support little is left us but speculation, glad I don't depend on my card for anything more than gaming. It was my first purchase of an AIW product and was so discouraging I never had the chance to depend on it for anything else.

CJLMTLCA · Jul 22, 2006, 01:17 AM

Exactly, who visits ATI's website on a regular basis? I think i clicked the bookmark by mistake

and then saw the banner for the T650, so decided to check it out and then saw the link for CMC.

Go ATI, go! Go ATI, go! Go ATI, go!

It's worth a try...

OldBuzzard · Jul 25, 2006, 11:27 PM

I've looked, and can't find ANYWHERE to D/L it.

If someone has a link to D/L them from i'd appreciate ot.

If i can get it, I'll make a sacrifical system with HyperOS, and give them a try.

Who knows 'maybe' these might work.

H3X4D3C1M4L · Jul 25, 2006, 11:35 PM

Its not up for download yet, its an announced new thing they're gonna do.

I'm not holding my breath TBH

It was on thier front page massive banner for days, and no one said a peep as I
ponderd makeing a thread about it. Yet figured, i'd wait and see just how long
it took for people to take note. well it took a little over a month for the 1st post
to arrive lol!

figured you guys would catch on a little faster...

I gave up on anything coming from their site after dealing with their "support" team for a couple of months almost a year ago now. Anyway it is speculative software in it's present form and is not seemingly intended for the AIW. At least not those manufactured before 2007. Anyway who wants to speculate about imaginary software from a now defunct company?

Maybe the merger with AMD will give them free time to make a better MMC!

End of wishful thinking

ROBSCIX · Jul 28, 2006, 12:51 AM

I don't think anything is gonna happen to ATI..

Well I wouldn't know don't think I've ever needed any support from them.
Though i did RMA a card a very, very, long time ago. once to have them check
it out. Turns out the card was good, (they did update the firmware on it though
it said nothing on the RMA sheet to that effect).

Defunct? This isn't a nvidia deal. Where they take all their info an tech rights
and burn the rest to the ground and kick everyone out the door. This is working
"acquisition" meaning they want the people and everything to go along with it.
For ATI to do the same work under the AMD banner. Just with better resources
and funding, the end result should be a superb product , unequaled by anything,

I hope you never do Neon! http://www.iespell.com/ It's a nice free little program.

:roll-eyes: I know, since after all , I used it to spell check the post... and did again
just for you... see this is the EXACT reason I see using such tools as waste of time
as people will continue such comments to the ending of the world. when its posted
straight out of them? I still see the comments? so why waste my time?

let me quote you something...

"Acrcndiog to resecarh at Cimdrgabe Unierivsty, it deson't meattr what oderr the lertets in a word are, the only ionramptt thnig is that the frist and last lttrees are at the right palce. The rset can be a toatl mess and you can sitll raed it wutihot a pboelrm. This is becsuae we do not raed every letetr by itself but the wrod as a whloe."

As I see it long as you can read it, as long as you can understand the message what
does it matter? How good our spelling, typeing or gammer is?

It matters. Alot.

Do you seriously believe that if everyone ignored common gramatical conventions that anyone would be able to understand anyone else? Language would degenerate and break down until everyone spoke their own language. Its the same with society: I mean as long as no one gets hurt... who cares if no one follows the law? Well people WILL get hurt if no one follows the law. That's why the laws are there. Same with grammar. Without proper spelling, grammar, etc., things would fall apart.

Unless afflicted with some disorder or disability, there is no excuse for not trying your best to speak, read, and write English or any other language the way it is meant to be written. The people who don't have a reason for not spelling correctly or for blatantly ignoring gramatical rules are just plain lazy. Not even speaking it as a second language is an excuse because English is my third language and I can still use the language effectively. I could understand if you're in the process of learning English how you might make such mistakes but for a primary anglophone there really isn't any excuse except either laziness or ignorance.
