The VideoLAN Forums

Hey guys. Got Win7 installed and I'm trying to get the tuner to play via VLC. Will this work in 64bit? I've got an ATI 650 Pro and a Pinnacle HD Stick Pro, I can't get neither to play. The audio plays fine, but I cannot get the video to play.

This is a fresh install. Any ideas as to what I can do?

Thanks

P.S. I have an nvidia 8800GT if that makes a diff.

So you can play for example AVI files without any issues, but your tuners won't give any video?

That is correct. I can open up an AVI and have it play locally without any issues. It's only from the tuner that I cannot get video. (The tuner does work though as it does work in Windows 7 Media Center)

Thanks

You try to open them from Capture mode: DVB DirectShow?

I have a very similar problem with Windows 7 64bit and an ATI 650 TV tuner.

It displays video on the first 3 uses (seriously, three, or thirty minutes of playing, whichever occurs first) as in when I tune to stream TV with either 0.9.9 or 0.8.6f.
But after the third tuning (or around 30 minutes) (because of the need to change bitrate/channel) video stops displaying, but the audio keeps on playing in the background.

Video/Audio work fine in WMC.

The only solution I've found is to restart the machine.

Problem doesn't occur in the same setup under Windows 7 32bit.

And no, I did not try DVB directshow as it doesn't apply to NTSC tunning.

VLC message log shows some errors when the picture vanishes? Have you tried VLC 1.0.0 nightly builds?
