I am able to use the AG from home using a DSL connection and a Linksys router using unicast connections to an appropriate bridged venue. In order to receive video, you have to setup port forwarding so that the video packets that arrive on arbitrary ports at your router are directed to the prope

Thanks for all of your feedback on the video capture card. Another $100 question: Let's say that I am in the NCSA lobby. Using the same venue client setup, I am not getting any incoming video in bridged unicast (vic will sit there forever waiting). Incoming audio is fine and others can see and

As to the drivers you want installed, the VFW drivers (which are older) will appear as multiple distinct devices to vic, and avoid the problem of having to switch the source each time you change venues. Tom On 11/3/05 2:32 PM, Supreeya Miller wrote: > Zsolt, > > > > I have gotten multiple

We are using the Hauppauge Impact VCB's for our capture which use the bttv drivers. They are straight capture (no tuner) which is fine for us - and cheap ($70 Canadian each). Haven't tried them on Windows, but thought I'd throw it out there... Todd Proshanta Saha wrote: > Hi Zsolt, > > About

Hi Zsolt, About 4 months ago I was going through the same problem. I had purchased 4 WinTV PVR 150s thinking that it would be a very good solution for the AG cosidering its hardware MPEG2 and less load on the CPU and all. The problem however is however that with hardware mpeg capture cards ther

Hi, I believe we use 4 of the WinTV cards in our XP SP2 machine, but it did take some work to get it going. We actually had to use a different driver for them, no Hauppauge driver did the trick, so we are using the BtPCI WDM driver, which I found on Google. If memory serves, you install this a

Salut Marie-Noelle, Firstly, are you sure you want to use the "Mix Ana" setting (also called "Wave Out Mix" on some cards)? This sends as your audio signal the *output* from your soundcard, i.e. what you'd normally hear. I would have thought that "Microphone" would normally be more appropriate...
