ATi TV wonder pro x64

[dani9678]

I have attached some screen shots of the driver details also in device manager. One is of the audio capture driver and the other is of the video capture driver. I don't know if my problem I am having is caused by using a bt848.sys driver for a bt878 chip.

You will have to go back to page 12 to see my first post today. I posted again and it started another page.

Did you use the automatic installer? If so, it looks like it installed the driver, but you might have to update with the inf you modified earlier in order for it to detect the video sources.

 

[dani9678]

Not quite sure I understand what you mean by updating with the inf. To be honest, had tried so many different options that it all runs together. I don't remember what I did exactly at this point in time to get it to work.

One of the files I attached is an installer (automatic) and the rest were variations of updating driver manually. Not sure which one you chose, but if you can find the installed inf in c:\windows\inf it would be an oem#.inf example. Probably one of the last. Then you could see if the inf matches up with ati tv wonder values in the manually installer.

 

[dani9678]

Do you think it would help if I sent you a copy of the .inf file? I opened it with notepad and it is for a bt848.sys driver. I don't know what to look for to compare to the manual installer or even how to look into the manual installer. Are you talking about comparing it to the directions that were included with the driver?

 

[dani9678]

I found a bt848.template.sys file in the zip file of the driver that I installed. Is this the .inf file that I am to compare the oem#.inf file to?

 

[Milardo]

Did you try the BT-installer-amd64.zip? Sure you can attach the inf file.

 

[dani9678]

Here are the two inf files.

 

[dani9678]

Well. I tried to upload them but the system says they are invalid.

 

[dani9678]

I don't know how I can upload picture files but can't upload txt files. I know they aren't txt but you can view them with a txt editor.

 

[dani9678]

I will try sending them as txt files now.

 

[Milardo]

There are a lot of 0xFF I think that means autodetected. However it didn't work so you will probably have to manually update with a new inf file. This is from the first attachment.

"8) Open the hardware configuration manager of windows, choose the
video capture device, and update the driver with this recently created
bt848.inf file. Probably, the Configuration Manager will say that
this driver is not exactly made for your hardware, and that the driver
is not certified (by microsoft). Allow it to continue."

Take the bt848.inf and modify so it matches the values for ati tv wonder in the readme file and try a ntsc philps tuner value like 0x02 or 0x10 or so. I'm not really sure what else to do but that yeah.

 

[dani9678]

When you say "configuration manager", do you mean device manager in windows control panel?

 

[Milardo]

Yes that is right.

 

[dani9678]

ok, I'm going to head on to bed but I'll see where I get with that tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help.

Thanks for the oem28.inf, the drivers now installed and I use virtuldad to capture avi, if i choose Microsoft WDM image capture, I can see the video from my VHS player but if I choose Conexant I see nothing. Anyway I can capture the video but no sound.

 

[apvm]

I got sound now but only left channel working.

 

[Milardo]

Hi, what kind of card do you have?

 

[apvm]

Hi, same as dani9678. I did capture some video off one of my old VHS tape, the avi has sound from both channel. Looks like those drivers works. Thanks for your hard work, otherwise this card will still be in the basement instead of in my box now.

I notice after capturing a 45 minutes clip and watching the avi, the sound would slow down for a second or two and then it pick up fast (like fast forwarding) and then back in sync (only once). All happened within 10 seconds. I use the latest Virtualdub, any settings to avoid that or was it my old VHS playing is acting up?

I recapture the video again to test and it happen on another part of the video.

1st capture, at around 3 minutes into the video.
2nd capture, at around 26 minutes into the video.

So my guess is I haven't have all the setting right with Virtualdud. Is there any other software that is good for VHS video capture? Tia

By the way, if I choose overlay, I would see the video but it still capture all right and if I choose preview, I could watch the video while capturing.
