Subject: Re: PAL will not appear in the settings with Studio 7
In reply to: freud 's message, "Re: PAL will not appear in the settings with Studio 7" on 18:07:23 08/14/02 Wed

Hi,

I could solve the problem for Studio 8 drivers in W98SE (dunno about W2000 though, it might be similar). The problem seems to be that some registry settings suddenly lock the card in NTSC mode.

After a complete reinstallation and using "regdelete" utility v5 (checking also the "Studio 7", not only the "Studio DC10+", box), I found the board again 'free' in PAL mode. I rebooted several times then. After maybe 5 reboots, the system was locked in NTSC one more time - without any otherwise extraordinary event in the boot procedure *bummer*.

BUT - this time I used ART (a registry shnapshot tool) and made a registry shot at the moment the card was working in PAL mode. Later, after it was again locked in NTSC mode, I made another snapshot and compared the two of them (ART can do that automatically). So I found differences in [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Pinnacle Systems\miroVIDEO MJPG\ConfigData] and [....\VideoControl]. These are long byte sequences, and I don't know where exactly the relevant byte is. I just exported the PAL-registry to a file (PAL.reg) and, while the card was locked in NTSC-mode, I stopped misiTray, loaded PAL.reg, and restarted misiTray. Bingo - PAL was open again!

You find my PAL.reg file below. Be careful in applying it, this is only for W98SE (not W2000), and of course something in your setup might be different; so save your registry before applying PAL.reg or perform the changes manually by comparing your data with mine. Even better, repeat teh same process I did using ART. I'll also append the relevant part of the registry snapshot in the NTSC-lockup-mode, so you see what exactly changed in between. Obviously, only sequences in ConfigData and VideoControl are changed, teh rest could probably easily be cut out of PAL.reg (Audio settings and the like). Cut between the 2 "---------------- cut here -----------------" lines to extract PAL.reg:
