If anyone is using a capture device similar to this,

Do you know if it registers itself with windows as a standard capture device?

It would pretty much have to be a standard WDM capture device to work with XP and any software now days.

Speaking of capture devices Usb / Pci using WDM drivers do any of them give DVD resolution and Framerate? 720x576 @30fps?

I've never really tried a USB 2.0 device. I've seen half that at most (352x240p @ 30) with 1.1 and even with PCI.

Edit: Oops. Yes, for much more $$ you can get 752x486 up to multi-channel uncompressed 1080i like what I've been developing for years. Duh

ok so will it register or not? and whats WDM?

IM asking cause I want to use Frodocam to view the image, and Frodo says I need to find out if it registers as a standard capture device.

I would just get a PCI capture card, but space is very limited.

Yeah, it will just show up as a capture device like a webcam or TV tuner. WDM is a standard for this type of thing.

I have a tv/ fm tuner card. If I plug in an rca style cam, (video cam or whatever) it will work with frodo?

**Curiosity** · 02-13-2005, 09:34 PM

I don't know. Is there a way to select the video source in frodocam?

yah theres a way. But it has to be registed with windows.

i think was frodo is saying is that the camera needs to work without having to load a seperate program to view the images.
