  • Ti4800SE-VTD8X & WDM video capture problem...

    sheeesh... I did everything I know to solve the problem... I read every thread on this help forum having the word "WDM" using the search engine and also on other webpages and forums. I can see that I am not the only one having problem with the WDM drivers  
    Can anyone help me with this  ?(  :
    The WDM driver fails to load and make my system boot up time to around 45 seconds to 1 minute which is normally booting in less than 18 seconds without the WDM driver installed. In the "Device Manager", I see a nice lil " ! " on the "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" codec.
    Here is what I did to date :
    1) I had an MSI Ti4200-VTD8X on a different setup computer and had the same problem. I changed my 250 power supply to a 350 watts as I read it might solve some problem but it did not.
    2) I exchanged the Ti4200 for a brand new MSI GeForce4 Ti4800SE-VTD8X (MS-8900) and STILL have the same problem
    3) I completely change my "old" P4 1.8 to a brand new setup (see at bottom) AND STILL have the same problem.
    4) Why did I buy an nVidia product instead of ATI ?   dunno...
    5) I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall, uninstall, reinstall... huh ?  ?(  oh yeah, the nVidia WDM drivers 1.21 and 1.22 still doesn't work. I even tried old WDM drivers as some said solved their problem. Installed 1.04, still the same problem.
    6) I have tried the WDM from MSI (was happy to see a newer version 1.27) and disaster  8o  computer crash with a nice blue screen and reset itself as soon XP loads this famous WDM driver during boot sequence. Had to start in safe mode using the last known working version... At least, that worked...
    7) The only way I can make this crappy driver to works (and that is at 50%) is this way
    a) in the device manage, I right clic the faulty codec (that XP kindly took the time to open for me to show me that this is not working...) and go to "update the driver"
    b) then I click "install from a specified location"
    c) then I click "do not search, I will chose the driver to install"
    d) then I can see "nVidia WDM Video Capture (Universal)" in the list so I click on it
    e) click "next" button
    f) XP reinstall the driver withtout the " ! " once I go back in the "Device Manager".
    The only thing with that is that it is unstable. Sometimes it might work for 1 hour, sometimes 10 minutes. What it does is it completely crash the application which is using the WDM, for instance InterVideo WinProducer. And here is the kind and gentle warning message box from XP saying : "InterVideo WinProducer has to shut down. We are sorry blah blah blah blah..."   and of course you lose any recordings you were capturing or working on...
    If I reboot the system, the codec is once again not loaded properly.
    So, can some one help me with this ???  
    Thank you !  :D

    For more information on TvTool look at this webpage.
    http://tvtool.info/index_e.htm
    Try and download demo version, and see if you have use for it. I would like to use it, when I want, to watch DVD on my TV.
    So now we need MSI or nVidia to make a WDM driver that works with nVidia VGA 44.03 driver.
    Thanks man !
    I have tried the TV Tool and quite frankly, I don't really like it... For the moment that is... It messed up a little the video settings like resolution and refresh rate. I have had numerous errors also saying to update to the latest version but you already told me about that.
    I have noticed something with 41.07 driver that I lost a nice feature that might interest you ! In fact, with this feature, I think you would not need the TV Tool.
    I had the option before to maxize the TV out to full screen when the DVD player started or when I watched any video format.
    I can have the Windows Media Player (using nVidia nDVD for DVD) running minimized on my main VGA monitor and get the S-Video out run full screen which was really nice. Sadly, this option looks to be nowhere to find with the Detonator 41.07 version.  :(
    I don't know if there will be a serious revision about the newest Detonator drivers so it can support our card with full features like the full screen one...
    When you fix a problem, there is a new one that come out  :O
    If you get any hint on how to complaint at MSI or nVidia, it would be great to let them know that something has changed since the v.41.07 that makes a lot of nVidia users having problems with the WDM issue.
    Thanks again, at least, I can capture some video ! But not able to watch it full screen anymore on the TV out  
    Let's keep in touch !
    See ya !

  • [GeForceFX] FX5600XT-VTDR128 Video capture problem

    I am trying to find out if anyone has been able to get the capture (WDM) driver successfully installed for MSI FX5600XT on XP/SP2.
    I tried both the MSI & NVIDIA drivers, but always get a message saying "Cannot start device code 10".
    The current MSI display driver is version 7772, and the capture driver is 4.05.
    should I try an older WDM driver ?
    Any advice will be appreciated.

    Is the WDM driver affected in any way by what display driver is installed ?
    The last WDM driver I installed is 2.13 and after the system rebooted, there were 2 devices that poped up, The WDM A/V crossbar which installed OK, and the WDM video capture(universal) which has the "Code 10" error.
    what is the A/V crossbar and do I need it ?

  • Video capture problem

    Hi, I'm using a 1 TB External LaCie HDD. I want to capture video from MiniDV tapes through a DV Deck, directly on to the LaCie.
    The problem is, my Mac Mini has only one Firewire 400 port & the Lacie also has only one Firewire 400 port (it has two Firewire 800 ports though). Additionally, the DV Deck I'm using only has a 4-pin Firewire port.
    Please advise how I can make this configuration work.

    You could daisy chain the DV deck to the LaCie HD to your Mac Mini: use a FW400 to FW800 cable to connect one FW800 port of the HD to the FW400 port of your Mac, and use a 4pin to 6pin FW400 cable to connect the DV deck to the only FW400 port of the HD.
    This assumes that the DV deck works when daisy chained with the LaCie; in theory it should, but there are some devices (e.g. some Canon cameras) that are known to misbehave in such configuration. This might not be a problem for you: if you get the cables you need you may just try and see the results.

  • MacBook Pro Video capture problem

  • Not another video capture problem

    I know people are sick of hearing about problems with capturing video, but my problem is an easy fix I think.
    I have 2 computers: Powerbook G4 and a Macbook Pro, and my old powerbook can detect my cam for capturing, but my macbook pro won't. Both have the same exact FCP software and I'm using the same 9 pin firewire 800 cord for both. my vid cam is a cannon GL1.
    So I'm guessing its gotta be a quicktime problem?

    Yes, I've tried firewire basic. There's gotta be a way to fix it without having to buy a firewire card.
    Get another (non canon) camera or remove the external drive and capture directly to your internal.

  • 4200 128 8X VIVO - Video Capture Problem

    I occasionally get this groovy white box that covers a good half of my screen when I attempt to capture video from my video camera..  
    My wife has finally decided (after a good year) to start hounding me about where those christmas DVDs are that I promised her..   :hypecrite:
    after a little hunting it appears this may be some copy protection scheme for video cassettes?
    l'il help?!

    I'm new to this!
    FX5600 on a P4 2.6, 521pc3200 RAM and plenty pf fast HD space.
    WDM driver 2.13.
    My captured files are uncompressed and have data rates of 20mb/s.  I have installed several codes such as DivX and Hufy(?) but although they turn up in the VFW compressor list and can be selected they are not shown in the spec of the capture window and are not used.
    Anyone out there having any success doing this. It works into Windows Movie maker but I really want to use Premiere.

  • CS4 Win 7 64bit video capture problem

    On my win 7 64 bit new installation of CS4 my Premier or OnLocation would not control my capture video devices.
    The solution turned out to be simple but not something I found on any help forum.
    Go to the device manager and open the IEEE 1395 Bus host controllers. It probably has some manufacture device drive listed. Right click and select update driver software, then select browse my computer and install drivers manually. You should get a selection of drivers. Select OHCI compliment host controller (legacy) and this will install, cause a re-start and should then render the capture device fully working.
    Message was moved from the CS Windows forum by host

      Thanks for the reply, I will look into your ideas. I don't have screen saver on and no Nero, iTunes was downloaded with Quicktime and I beleive Win7 uses Roxio, I will check these out.
    I put the hard drive docking station back on the XP windows quad core computer, the project was edited on this machine.
    Encore burned the dvd  complete EXCEPT now no sound, only the menu sound. When I play the timeline there's no sound. This seems to happen when I make a change in PPRO and then go back to Encore. I then export the audio from PPRO and bring it into Encore as an asset, drop it on audio 2 and then all is fine. I did that just now and still hear no audio. I've been using Encore for a year and no troubles.  Glad I make the SD dvds 1st before the HD so I don't waste blu ray discs.
    My win7 computer is a Dell with Win7 Ultimate, 12 GB ram, i7 920 processor, 1TB C drive and I use external drives to edit on in a docking bay with esata cable.

  • MacBook connecting to Mini-DVI to Video Adapter problems- HELP!!!

    I just purchased the mini-dvi to video adapter. Immediately upon connecting the device, it makes the connect sound, followed immediately by the disconnect sound, accompanied with a flashing black screen. This repeats until I remove the adapter. I just updated my graphics driver, but that didn't help. I'm running windows XP on a macbook purchased in august 2007. please help!

    Does the adapter work if you're in OS X? If so, you may get better help over in the Boot Camp forum here:

  • FX5900XT-128 Video mode problem - HELP!

    Hi everyone.  Here's a challenge for you...
    I just upgraded my 5700 to a 5900XT from ZipZoomFly.
    First thing I noticed when I installed it was that when my machine posted, the text display showed up for a second then blanked out.  The monitor didn't "sleep", it was still active - it's like the video signal blanked out.  I paused the bootup and jiggled the VGA connector, wiggled the card a bit, and the screen came back up and I was able to access the mainboard BIOS setup. Again, the computer continued to function fine even when the screen was blank.  When I let it continue to booting Windows, and it launches the GUI, everything is fine and works good.  
    But now, consistently, everytime I boot the machine, the monitor will not show me anything in the text environment (post, etc), but it comes to life when the GUI launches.
    Is this a card defect or some kind of setup adjustment that I need to make?
    Thanks for any help you can give!
    PS - What's with the total lack of support directly from MSI?????  Ugh - no phones, no email, nothing.

    No, the card I just pulled (MSI FX5700 VTD128) works fine.  And this card actually works *sporadically* in text mode.  Some kind of Voltage thing?  The Nexus PSU is only a month old.

    1GB RAM
    Dell 20" LCD (4 months old)

    }OK .
    now I am not getting previous errors.
    But now I am getting null pointer exception on clicking the Start button.
    Even the file is created.(56 kb)
    On your advice I displayed the player and filewriter and got following things
    (after clicking start and same even when created in the constructor)
    Data Sink started com.sun.media.datasink.file.Handler@1fdc96c
    Processor started com.sun.media.processor.unknown.Handler@186d4c1If you find something please let me know.
    Thanks in advance.
    This shows that processor is having some problem and cant render. While file is created and the println statement shows Data sink object is working fine.
