anyone fixed it in win 98 se???
I need virtual dub

Does this fix the audio problems? I got ATI RADEON 32mb DDR card

This is the only way I can capture with VDUB and WIN98:
Use ATI driver 6292 and MMC6.3, After installing These, install DirectX8 and the DirecX8 update.
Use VDUB14c and not the latest revisions. VDUB145 does not work.
Ater booting up, run TV player and close it.
Now you can run VDUB. Hit CAPTURE AVI and couple of WARNINGS will show that you do not have the drivers installed and it will reconfugure to VFW drivers.
I am having some problems with this configuration, when I capture MPG1 with Video player the sound is distorted. I have tried many different audio settings.
Any input will be appreciated.

GRANPINO,

What do you mean by "1.4c only"? What are you using as hardware? What ATI product? What are you using as codec to capture? I've no issue with any of the versions so far, and it gets better as the version upgraded. I am using ATI AIW 128 2xAGP 16Mb and 32Mb, and recently upgrade the 16Mb to a 32Mb PRO 4xAGP board. The upgrade to the PRO version seems to dramatically increase my capture quality...perhaps it's the playback that the Rage PRO increase the quality in since everything on my desktop seems to be looking better then before. As for virtual dub version, the most recent version gives much sharper image quality over the previous one (at least I can see it with the overlay input and the playback). I am now seriously considering upgrade to Radeon Version, now that I've seen what the Rage Pro upgrade does to quality. However, I don't know if the Radeon can do VFW even through the mapper function for Win98 ( don't want to go to win2K ).

My problem is the compatibility of the ATI drivers not fully supporting VFW with WIN98. For some reason VDUB14.c is able to work around this, but VDUB145 gives me a 'No capture driver error' and crashes. When I had WIN95, I had no problems with VDUB and ATI MMC6.3.

My current system:
AMD 750, 64mb memory
WIN98 first edition
ATI AIW128
ATI 6292 video driver
ATI MMC6.3
DirectX8.0 (the latest upgrade)
Shark sound card-- very old

I am seriuosly thinking about upgrading to WIN2000. As I understand ATI drivers handle better the VFW mapper. A few of my programs need VFW.

Funny - I never had any probs capping with any version of VirtualDub and my Radeon 64 DDR. Currently using current version of VirtualDub.

GRANPINO,

6292 driver is 100% supported VFW with win98 1st edition. This is what I am using. Edit the registry to remove virtualdub from it (somewhere along the line you are saving the WDM driver as a default capture driver for virtualdub); Remove vdub from the registry, will start it fresh (just remember what settings you've set before on vdub before you wipe it from the registry).

Raphtor,
What O/S are you using? Win2K or Win98? if it is win98, then how do you setup the VFWWDM.drv/VFWWDM.dll for it?

Thanks I'll give it a try tonight.
