Question

capture card recognized but not capturing any video

Hi everybody,

I have a problem with a capture card, a Pinnacle 50dtvi.
I'm trying to capture live video via Flash, using the Camera object. With my webcam it works perfectly.
Flash is given the permission to access the capture card, which is recognized correctly by Flash, nevertheless it doesn't show any output.

Any solution?

Maybe there's a problem with the fact the card has several input sources (tv, analog in etc.) and Flash doesn't know how to distinguish among them - this, for instance, is what happens with softwares like vvvv, where you can select the capture device and, inside it, the capture source.

Is there any way to make this choice in Flash via ActionScript?
Do you know of any (possibly low-cost) capture card working with Flash which have a in and a out?

I've seen others have similar problem, for instance: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=578&threadid=1164387&enterthread=y

Thanks everybody!

    I have the same problem with other TV capture cards. I've tried a hauppauge 150, 350, and an AverMedia card.

    All show up as valid camera devices, but there is no video. I even tried to use an external applciation to set channels, set inputs, etc. No luck.

    My application works with some camera sources, such as usb web cams and a usb composite video capture device.

    I've searched lots of different forums and come across this problem at least a half a dozen times - never answered though.

    Help!!

    FYI - just tried an ATI tv wonder elite card last night. Same problem.

    So, video capture devices seem to work. Tuner cards do not (even though they show up).
