Hi Troy,

Actually, the videoGrabber provided by RunRev is quite limited under Windows, as it doesn't support DirectShow. I hope RunRev will improve it.

VFW is an old MS technology, some USB webcam are provided with such drivers.

Very few video cards are supplied with QT for Windows drivers, I can't recommend this solution.

I see one solution: use a plug-in that allows QT application to drive DirectShow capture devices.
The plug-in does the interface between DirectShow and QT, then you can use it in Rev with the videoGrabber in "QT" mode.
This is not a perfect solution, as the plug-in slows down the digitizing process (not sure you can get 30 frames/second full screen), but it works.


I have tried WinVDIG ( http://www.vdig.com/WinVDIG/index.html ), it's free, but hasn't been updated for 2 years.
Also take a look at Vdig ( http://www.abstractplane.com.au/products/vdig.jsp ), it's a commercial product, not tested, but I guess it works better.


Regards.
Thierry.

What class of device works best then?

And, this is also the case with the "QT" method?


Sorry to dwell, but this is a final, and crucial function of my software.


Is there a known-to-work analog to digital converter that is compatible with VideoGrabber on Windows XP? USB or Firewire? The one I have a "Dazzle Hollywood Edge" does not seem compatible in either "VFW" or "QT" modes.

I need to be able to take composite or S-Video and convert it to a videoGrabber compatible format. If I can find one that works, I can recommend that one. I currently don't have anything proving it works at all under Windows XP.

OSX works with everything... of course.
