VirtualDub and MSI WDM Drivers

[tsigo]

I recently had a hard drive crash, but before that I was able to capture video from my TiVo using s-video-in on my GF4 4400. After the reinstall of XP and SP1 (which I had before the crash), VirtualDub is giving me errors.

I can see the video and hear the audio, but when I try to capture, the following happens:

- Status bar says "Status 411: Press escape to end the capture
- I press escape
- Error message: "Warning: No frames captured. Make sure your capture card is functioning correclty and that a valid video source is connected. You might also try turning off overlay, reducing the image size, or reducing the image depth to 24 or 16-bit."

I've tried everything that it says except changing the image depth because I couldn't find the setting. I've also tried different WDM drivers and disabling the second monitor. I don't see how this used to work on the exact same system setup, and now it just won't.

Anybody?

V-Dub does not support WDM capture.

Try downloading VirtualVCR for WDM driver support.

Ok I tried to use VirtualVCR. I did the install.bat to register the filters.

When I try to turn on the preview, I get "Cannot run preview graph," so I turn off Preview.

When I try to capture I get "Cannot start graph" - one time I actually got past that and then I got "Cannot start disk write" or something to that effect. The drive isn't full, btw.

So...do I need some more filters? I couldn't find any.

Sorry to bump, but I need to get this working.

The mystery continues. I put in my old VoodooTV 200 PCI card, finally managed to find some beta Windows 2000 WDM drivers that work in Windows XP and got it to work for capturing.

With WDM drivers, it captures in Virtual VCR and in VirtualDub. My GF4 capture drivers don't work in either. So I need some help here.

Here's what I have in Device Manager that relates to the GF4:

- nVidia WDM A/V Crossbar
- nVidia WDM TVAudio Crossbar
- nVidia WDM TVTuner
- nVidia WDM Video Capture (universal)

All the drivers are 1.1.6.0 from 6/7/2002. Are those the latest?

I'm having different WDM probs, but I got a version 1.22 from nvidias site. However, they MAY be the same drivers and the 1.22 could be refering to something else... couldn't hurt. Run it twice, once to remove current WDM, once to install new WDM.

I have a GeF4 Ti4200 VIVO, using v1.08 drivers (no macrovision) and it works like a charm with VirtualdubVCR.

Well, its wort a try, since I had this same little problem.

Fist thing, verify the status of the nview feature of your video card, if its on, turn it off. (I don´t know why, but on some new GF4 it starts normally activated, contrary to the old gf2 cards)

second, when using virtual vcr:

go to setting/view and disable the option "use smart tee view for preview", this normally gives error on the gf card.

hope that helps.
