How to use VBI on Windows?

Postby Mongrel » 26 Feb 2010 19:39

Hey all,

(Using VLC 1.0.5 on Windows)

I'm using the following options to launch vlc with TV output:
dshow:// :dshow-vdev="AVerMedia BDA Analog Capture" :dshow-adev="AVerMedia BDA Analog Audio Capt" :dshow-size=720x576 :dshow-tuner-channel=25 :dshow-tuner-country=49 :dshow-chroma=YUY2

Now I've been trying to get VBI (Teletext) to work, according to http://wiki.videolan.org/VLC_command-line_help it seems that I just have to pass --vbi-page=xx, but that doesn't work. I don't see any Teletext on screen. How does it work? Do I somehow have to activate the module? The module list in Extras->Plugins lists the libzvbi codec.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Do you see the teletext listed in the subtitle list?

I seriously doubt, though that you can with a dshow device, and not a BDA device.

How would I use the BDA device? The vlc command line help (using vlc.exe -H, printing out a very verbose vlc-help.txt file) doesn't seem to have a "bda://" device. Though, on the other hand, the dvb-(c|s|t) stream inputs aren't listed either and those are chosen when I select DVB input using the GUI.
Does BDA only work with DVB? I'm currently capturing from an analog DBA input device.

Thanks.

BDA are DVB devices on Windows.
