CapturCards ( WinTV / TerraTec / NoName ) cant be used when a DV-Cam is Pluged in ?!

Post by thomas »

Hi Guy's , i got a little problem.
We use a TV-Card to display signals ... Every thing works fine - BUT only if no DV-source ( in my case a Panasonic MiniDV Camc) is pluged in via firewire. When the Cam is connectet only the "cam" can be load into a layer.

Is this a problem of our setup ? Any Probs like this known ?
Thanx Thomas

Hi Folks,
after playing around a hole night with our hardware we found a "rule" to set up our stuff.

1. Bottom Layer - Mini DVcam
2. Middle Layer - Usb Webcam Logitech
3. Top Layer - TV-Card

The strange thing is that it only works in this order ... if we change something of this "rule" in most cases only the minidv works - sometimes nothing.

I had a similar issue. I have to load my 2 capture cards and usb webcam in a specific order, or they won't all load. For me it's

1. usb 2.0 webcam (640x480)
2. hauppauge winTV
3. ATI TVwonder Pro

If i don't load them in this order, none of them will work properly. Anyone else who has this problem, just play with the loading order, and eventually it will work
