Hello,
I've finished playing around a bit with this latest beta 4, and have some issues to report.
I had a problem with the last beta, where anytime the system set up to record, the input got shifted to the video input on my card, away from the cable input.
This new beta has the exact same problem, but because we have more options to choose from I started experimenting. First of all, I tried using the old way, using Windows Media Encoder 7. This recorded fine (although from the wrong input) in the last beta, but not in this one.
I then tried using DirectShow with DX8 installed. for some reaosn here, every time a diagnostic recording got 3/4 done, I would get a "Capture Halted" message and SnapStream would lock in to recording mode and I would have to kill the task.
I then went back to WME7 and started fooling around. I ended up havint to manually edit the .WME profile I was using, to get the right video device in there. It is set up to use the default video device wich does not work for my system. Don't know why, but WME7 gives errors if I use the default device, even though it is the only capture device on my system.
I tried using the ATI specific tuner, but I had the same problem as last beta with it changing inputs on me. So I then tried using WME7 with DirectShow tuning.
At first, I thought I finally had it. It recorded properly, off the correct input. But then I did some more testing.
It seems that it doesn't actually get tuned. It simply is recoding off whatever channel was last used in the ATI Player.
I also have a wierd problem with the configs. The primary settings page seems to have "lost" the field where I select my card. I mean, its totally gone http://discuss.snapstream.com/ubb/smile.gif
