I've logged bug #1767, regarding the fact that the Windows version of that external relies on outdated technology and in fact, virtually does not work. While it may be possible to get it to work locally, with very specific hardware, and third-party drivers ($$), the basic functionality is not portable to a software package that we (as developers) could sell. At best, even on OSX, it is quite crude (unbuffered) and acts more like a beta or experimental feature.
In the meantime, my software is finished on OSX, but will not run on Windows XP... which is rather contrary to Revolution's marketing. revVideoGrabber is in the docs, and lists as being compatible on Windows, but it really isn't. I'm looking for some alternative. Is there a different external somewhere which will actually allow video preview and still-frame capture from USB or Firewire, on Windows, and supporting recent hardware and software? (he said, well-knowing the answer.)
If video input functionality on Windows means anything to you, or you think it might in the future, I encourage you to review, comment, or vote on bugzilla #1767. And if there does happen to be an alternative, I'd love to hear it.
