Qosmio G10 - capturing using WinDVD Creator

I'm having trouble capturing video using the s-video input and WinDVD Creator - I've connected my camcorder to the s-video port, but WinDVD Creator doesn't recognise anything is being played. Several users have advised on clicking the spanner icon after running WinDVD Creator, but I've tried opening it several times, selecting a new project, and I can't see the spanner icon no matter what I do.
I've had the software on my computer for some time. Have I missed something in the initial set-up? Do I need to reinstall?
Any help would be much appreciate.
Cheers
Raymond

Hi
Check please Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp
There you will find all stuff that you need for your notebook model. There is also listed Registry fix for the WinDVD Creator. You will find it under Registry Patch.

Qosmio G10: Composite input and WinDVD creator

I've got a Qosmio G10 and WinDVD creator 2, as shipped with machine. I'm trying to copy some old VHS tapes onto my HDD using WinDVD creator and the composite input next to the power socket (connected to VHS through SCART and supplied adapter)
WinDVDc isn't seeing anything at all to record from, let alone the composite input (which works fine when I press the 'input select' button just next to the brightness adjuster on the machine). I cannot therefore see or record from my analogue TV signal either, which is set up and working fine under MC. I can record using MC but the dvr-ms fie format it uses isn't editable and is far too bloated.
I've also tried using nerovision for the same purpose, but I get an error message saying 'capture device is already in use...'.
Sorry if this is a question for intervideo, but the Tosh forums seem more useful.
HELP!

Hi Jake
Look at the drivers download (the section valid for your model and OS) for a Registry patch. Take a look also at the info for it. I think that should fix your problem. That means that you will get the Composite input as a valid source of data in WinDVD Creator.
Good luck
Tom

Qosmio G10: News Flash - Great News for Capturing!!

I own a Qosmio G10. I live in Australia and purchased the notebook here. I like to keep things upto date and was scanning the Australian Toshiba website when I came across a special up-date for Qosmio owners Here's the link
http://www.isd.toshiba.com.au/cgi-bin/ai1.exe/topic/content/driver_search_list.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1490231535 .1109544574@@@@&BV_EngineID=eaddckkmlflebfdhcjkcfg ldkf.0&theAction=true&CATOID=-15058&MODE=NPRO&ProductMenu_0=Notebooks&ProductMen u_1=Qosmio&ProductMenu_2=897343&x=21&y=4
I am yet to try it but have installed it and using WinDVD creator I can choose to capture from S-video, Composite video or TV tuner. This may be just what we've all been waiting for. You can change the quality settings as well. I've looked on the international Toshiba website and can't find it. Anyway I hope it works for you all. There are some release notes for the utility on the page as well. Good luck!

Qosmio G10: analog video signal capturing from Camcorder

Please help
I am from Canada and new to this forum. I bought a Qosmio G10 early this year but only had a chance to try to use it to capture and convert my V8 home video tapes recently with no success.
I have tried the Toshiba Tech support with no hope. I have tried the registery patch for VinDVD creator 2, but still it is not seeing my video input stream from the camcorder. I tried both S-Video and Composite inputs with no result. Anybody with similar experience?
I appreciate your help.
Moe

Help please?
It's me again!
So far I've got the analog video stream captured only when using DVD Creator 2. But, I still have two more problems to solve. 1) When I stop recording onto DVD creator, always error message:"WinDVD Creator has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." is displayed, and restarting the program it cannot open the recorded clip saying "either the file is corrupt or a non-compatible file format" while Windows Media player can play it back. I cannot edit the recorded video clip as a result. 2) The second problem is that the video stream from S-Video of analog camcorder is played back OK, but once click the record on DVD creator, the video capturing starts to lag and looses smooth flow.
Any hint or comment is appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe

Qosmio F10 :WinDVD creator

Qosmio F10 is sell with DVD creator, does anyone acquire analog video with it

With the version of WinDVD Creator shipped with the F10, I find it impossible to capture either DV video (camescope connection) or TV/Video Recorder input. The capture screen is continuously blank. So I downloaded the trial version of WinDVD Creator directly from InterVideo, and voila! It recognized both, immediately, no problems. Anybody else have this situation?

Capturing and editing on Qosmio G10

Can Qosmio G10 work with Adobe graphic editing softwares either dirrectly or indirectly?

Can you please explain to me what you mean with directly or indirectly?
Anyway, every software producer defines minimum hardware requirements for software usage.

TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

Good morning,
TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
-Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
-TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
Thank you to anyone answering this message.

Hello Luciano
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
Try it at first.

Qosmio G10 Analog video acquisition.

Please help!!!
Does anybody can help me to find a way to run analog video acquisition on a Qosmio??
I have to transfer many analog videos from a camcorder, I tried winDvd, Moviemaker, I installed Magic Video Deluxe, Pinnacle Studio 9 full version, but it seems that no one of these software is able to recognize and capture the video source. Only digital acquisition is OK. It is very frustrating!
Many thanks
Massimo

I've had a similar problem with an anlogue VCR. I sorted that out by plugging the coax output into the TV-in socket using the coax adapter that comes with the Qosmio and then tuning the TV into the video. I was then able to record the video output just like any other TV programme. The recorded TV files are saved in the dvr-ms format and this can be imported into WinDVD Creator 2 provided you have a MPEG11 decoder installed.

5900 Video Capture in WinDVD or Pinnacle

Hey there,
I have the 5900XT card with VIVO, and I am at that sticking point of capturing composite video. I have all the drivers installed for the universal NVidia capture, however, WinDVD and Pinnacle are not grabbing the output from my camcorder. I am using composite and made sure I have the cables sorted out, but there is no obvious place to set the capture device to composite versus s-video. In WINDVD tools, options, there is no place to specify that I am grabbing composite. In Pinnacle, it also sees the nvidia capture device but again there is no place to specifiy that is is coming in from composite and not s-video.
Is there a software setting somwhere in the nvidia drivers that will do that?

It's in the options of the program, (WinDVD Creator) It's right there. I found in 5 seconds when I first tried it.

Qosmio G10: How to get Toshiba Virtual Sound in Taskbar

System: Qosmio G10 running Windows XP.
When I bought the system, it came loaded with Toshiba's 'Virtual Sound' app, which replaced the standard Microsoft Volume Control app in the XP Taskbar (bottom right of screen). Now, the standard 'Volume Control' app appears in the Taskbar.
How do I get the 'Virtual Sound' app back? It enables me to easily switch between setting the sound for the laptop's internal speakers and using larger external speakers.
Thanks!
Ben.
PS. Love Qosmio's!

Hello Ben
First of all check if this application is preinstalled on your notebook. When application is preinstalled properly in task manager under running processes you can find TvsTray.exe listed there.
If the application is correctly installed you can also find an entry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\ CurrentVersion\Run when you start REGEDIT in RUN option.
Check all this. If there is something wrong I recommend you to install it again.

Display Properties (Qosmio G10)

Hi,
Basically, I tried to show my parents on their TV photos from uni(Qosmio G10 - WIn MCE 2005). And it worked! Then, because I thought the resolution was too fine, I decided to tinker about with the settings in Display Properties as well as the GeForce FX Go5700 utility to change it and got carried away changing settings. After I pressed some button or another, the image on the TV vanished. I can't seem to get it back.
Anyway to reset or default Display Properties and/ or the GeForce utility - at least this will aloow me to continue to use my laptop for other presentation needs esp. at uni.
Thanks a lot,
WB

Yes, while the Qomsio is running, press Fn + F5 until you get a picture back on its internal screen.
Later,

Qosmio G10-133 & Vista can not recognise my memory stick

Hi,
I have installed VISTA on this laptop, and I have had a few problems as you can imagine!!!!
I can not get it to recognise my memory stick. I can't find any drivers and Windows can not solve the problem.
Anybody got any clues?
I am also having a problem if I power off the laptop. The only way I can get the power on button to work is to remove the mains cable and the battery and then I can power on the laptop. If I don't remove the power cable and the battery, I get a green light on the power button, or no light at all, and pressing it seems to do nothing. I also get a flashing orange light on the mains power light at the front of the laptop. I assume it is something to do with the computer thinking it has hibernated or something?

What to say buddy.
The Vista is not supported on the Qosmio G10 series officially and therefore the Vista drivers dont exists for this series.
Fact is that you need an card reader driver to use the memory sticks. But as I said above such drivers are not released and dont exists.
What you can do is to check the drivers for G30 but Im very skeptical that this will work on G10.
Bye

Can't burn with DVD with WinDVD Creator

Greetings,
I have a new FX5900XT (bundled w/Vivo and WinDVD Creator). I captured video from camcorder and made a nice move with effects and titles, etc...
Now, when I go to "Make Move" it shows movie size as zero. When I go through the motions and tell it to burn to DVD, it says "Please select files first.". I've saved the move to MPEG, and tried loading it from "Make Movie" as well. I can watch the movie in the preview area on Make Movie page, but it still give me the error when I tell it to burn.
InterVideo won't support bundled software - they sent me to my "OEM", but I can't find anything in the FAQ or online help, so here we go...
Anybody know whassup?
Thanks

Hi mstone
I have found intervideo software to be very buggy, may I suggest you try another DVD encoding program (Ulead or TMPGenc trial ).
Cheers

Qosmio G10-133: Where to find NVIDIA GeForce FX Go6600 Vista drivers

I have a Qosmio G10-133 with the upgraded motherboard which I believe has the Nvidia GeForce FX Go6600 graphics chip, not the older motherboard which had the 5900 chip.
I am trying to find a recommended driver for this chip when using Vista as an operating system.
I know Toshiba no longer support this discontued model and certainly do not have the drivers on their website.
Anybody got any ideas where I can obtain a suitable driver, or even if there is one.
Nvidia's website just states that invidiual laptop manufacturers adapt drivers for their chips and don't provide a driver.
Any ideas?

From my understanding the Toshiba doesnt support any Vista drivers for the Qosmio G10 The Vista seems to be supported since Qosmio G30 series
I have read several threads about the compatible graphic drivers for Vista OS and the _www.laptopvideo2go.com_ website provides some nVidia drivers.
But note; these drivers are not tested and therefore you can install and use it only at your own risk
Best regards

Qosmio G10-133 - need Keyboard Part No

I have a Qosmio G10-133 for about 5 months, but alas a small picture fell and damaged the keyboard. It broke one key luckily, and one that isn't used much!!! The |\ key. But it is still a pain. I could claim on my household insurance, but I wont.
I am trying to find the correct part number. How easy is it to install a replacement? I recently changed a hard drive for a friend in other notebook, and keyboard removal replacement seemed very easy. What is it like on the Tosh?
[Edited by: admin on 09-Oct-05 13:36]

I just couldn't be sure as one website like www.laptopbits.co.uk says:
Toshiba Replacement Keyboard UK Specification
New Toshiba original spare part for the following range of laptops - UK keys part number P000349000, P000405490 or P000367420
Suitable for the following Toshiba Laptops
Qosmio E10, Qosmio F10, Qosmio G10
Satellite 1410 series & 2410 series
Satellite A40 and M30
Price each 55 + VAT
Usually ships: same day for next day delivery
P000367420
Price each
64.63
Qty required
So I wasn't sure, as I can get the part no P000367420 fairly a reasonable amount secondhand. But I am uncertain what the difference is between this one and the one you quote? Any ideas? Will this part no work on a g10?
Kind regards to all who are helping.
