Virtualdub Problems

[dudds]

Hi guys,

I'm using the composite video input of my TV tuner card (Dvico FusionHDTV DVB-T) to capture old video footage from my analogue handyam. The capture program I'm using is virtualdub.

Although it is working the captures i'm ending up with are less than ideal. Under the video/format menu I can't seem to select any resolution greater than 353x288. When I do I get the following error "Error 418: Unsupported video format".

This card uses a Conexant CX23881 chip which can supposedly provide captures up to 768x576. Also I've read somewhere that virtualdub only works with VFW drivers not WDM drivers. The capture driver than came with my TV card I believe are WDM drivers. However, as i've said the capture does seem to work so I don't quite seem to understand these issues.

If there are any guru's out there with suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. I've been trying this for a few weeks now and it's starting to get frustrating.

Cheers

Hi dudds,

PM lordsmurf or capmaster and see if they'll take a look - they're both well clued up on capturing...

Or check out lordsmurf's site (www.digitalfaq.com) - there may be something there.

Good luck...

Hey Daamon thanks mate I'll do as you suggest.

I have an msi capture card with the same chipset and cant use virtualdub over 240 even with the vfw wrapper,i use virtualvcr which works great,give that a try.

[dudds]

Thanks Johns0 i'll give that a go.

Are you using Virtualdub or Virtualdubmod? V-dubmod is meant for WDM driver cards. Might help also.

Ive also tried Virtualdubmod and it doesnt work above 240 ffor my card,uses vfw drivers still.
