We have a website that streams live video and audio at many locations requiring many different types of computers and equipment. We use Influxis as our flash media server to stream and either an Osprey 210 card or a Dazzle DVC100 to capture the video on mostly winXP computers and laptops. Most of the cameras are security type cameras, some X10 cameras.

We encountered a new problem with Windows 7 64bit Home edition and the Dazzle DVC100 capture device. Pinnacle does not have drivers for win7, but we have used the Vista 64 bit drivers and it will pull the video, but through our flash player it distorts the video (makes it wide and short), but through MSN Messenger the video looks just right.

Our flash developer for the flash player says that the flash player is simply playing what the video stream was handing to it from the hardware and software drivers on the OS.

I have looked around the forums and haven't found anything about the distorted Dazzle video, which leads me to still believe it is our flash player somehow, and the capture card information doesn't necessarily talk about streaming video and I don't want to buy lots of different ones just to test.

Question 1: has anyone had trouble with the Dazzle and a distorted video?
Question 2: what other type of USB capture cards can handle live streaming video?

Thank you for any input.
