Ok this is my problem... I have two of them...
One (my main problem) is I am trying to capture video off of the tv... I have a voodoo 3500 TV running on XP. I have downloaded the Amigo Sport 3.0 and the visualreality 3.10.06. Right now when I hook up the TV to the pod it does work so that I can view my computer screen on my TV. What I really am wanting to do is watch TV on my cpu screen and capture video. When I try to open the 3dfx TV it is giving me an Error mesage that says"Warning...The TV drivers are not installed. please install them by pressing the 'Driver' button..." I don't know what to do from here...I have already uninstalled both the Amigo and the VR and then re-installed them and the same thing is happening. If there is anything that might help me with this it would be great!
Second, I am wanting to play my Playstation 2 on the computer screen... I have hooked the cords into the pod but don't know what to do from here...what program do I use on my computer to be able to actually watch and play the PS2 on the cpu..
THANKS !!!!!!

Hi,
Not too sure about your first issue, as I use win98se for my 3500, but in regards to your second question, you need to have vr installed and running to use the input of your 3500 pod.  
No vr = No input = no ps2...sorry :)

Isn't there another prog to capture video on 3dfx cards? I think lecram knows about this, and I think it's metioned in the 3dfx tv section, it should also work with the tuner of the v3 3500.

EDIT: Found the thread, it's right here (http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16), look at lecram25's last post, the second to the bottom. And hit up this (http://www.dscaler.org/) site to grab the DScaler software.

I've tried dscaler with the 3500TV and I had no luck. I thought it was meant to work on the voodoo TV cards, as they have the brooktree(??) tv tuner in them, not the toshiba etc which the 3500 have on them....
