USB or PCMCIA capture device with mp4 encoder for vlc!

Postby hossein » 16 Apr 2008 16:09

Hi all,
I need to use laptop to stream a video and audio with the best quality in a project.
I want to use vlc for that. but i could'nt find a usb or usb2.0 capture device
in "Hardware compability list" that can use in laptop and has mp4 hardware encoding.
I bought and tested a "dazzle platinum dvc-170" but it seems that it can not
be defined by VLC!!
any idea or expirience in this subject?!
Thank you all

Unless your devices works as Directshow capture device, it doesn't work.

Hi,
I bought and tested a "dazzle platinum dvc-170" but it seems that it can not
be defined by VLC!!
what does't that mean? -- couldn't it be used by VLC as DirectShow Device? was it not recognized? got some error message useing it?

Hi,
Thank you for your attention.
Dazzle DC170 is detected by VLC as a video device in Directshow tab of open device,
when i started to open the video and audio by selecting that from the list it seems
that vlc start without any error message, but no video and no audio in response.
I tried to see the dazzle from movie maker and other applications but they couldn't
see that too. They even couldn't find it as a video capture device!!
The only software which could find and work and show it was Tvideograbber demo
sofware that i have an evaluation version of that.
It uses Directshow too!!!
I don't know what is the problem and how can i find a soloution for that.
I tried to make a contact with Pinnacle tech. sup. but the answer was:
"we dont support any third party software!!"
I think it is very funny!!
any way i got tired to find a way to make known dazzle dvc170 for vlc,
but now i'm looking for a hardware that i described at the first post.
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

if you want support for that device - you may fillout a ticket (http://trac.videolan.org) and add the output of this small program to the trac entry:
http://people.videolan.org/~atmo/tools/devlist.exe
(http://people.videolan.org/~atmo/tools/src if you prefer compiling yourself.)

then we will look at and see what we can do for this device - or if it is too much change or work for the moment.
