firewire problem

Post by 1mpar »

Hi,

Today I tried to use a mini-dv camera connected to avenue through firewire and it didn't work.
I got something like a 'stop motion' effect as avenue plays only a few frames from the input. This doesn't happen when the input is my built-in camera, so the problem may be the firewire connection.

I tried the same input with other softs (modul8 and vdmx) and it worked perfectly, so I think this is a Bug of Avenue.
I'm using a macbook pro with 512M video.

Hi,

I have also problems with Live-Vieo IN in Resolume 3....

1st I was trying to setup one FirewireIN and two USB-IN and all I got was juddering videos on the output (btw: resolume printed about 45fps in Previewmonitor, so the speed of the Machine is not the problem (2x2,53GHz Core2 DUO System (4Gig) with Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT (512M)) tested with vista and XP). Then I re sized the Setup to only one Input at a time and I have the same Problem!

I'm using following USB Adapter and all of them are working in Arkaos on the same System without any problems...
Dazzle DVC100 and a Terratec Grabster Series Adapter (Version 2).

Both are playing in Arkaos, or with grabbing Software like DVDrecorder from pinnacle without any problems, but in resolume 3 they don't work correctly.

BTW I also tried to run them on resolume 2.41 and one of them was there also playing without problems - sorry, doesn't remember with of them was working, but the other Adapter wasn't shown up in Sources, so i thing the Driver was not recognised by resolume....

2nd Problem is to switch the decks when there is a Live Input on the next deck...
...then the Framerate is about 5fps and also a short freeze of the output for about 1/2 second.....

Playing our own Clips (also in 1440x576, our prefered Setup 2xPAL side by side) with DVX or MJPEG Codec is no problem - only Livevideo in is not possible.
