Chris:
I'm curious to know what in your configuration resulted in the
sources being numbered differently from how I would have expected.
If you uncovered anything in resolving this problem that could
result in a patch to the VideoProducerService, it might help other
people who are using the videum card.
I'll poke in my registry for indications of the source numbers, but
will be looking for your response.
Thanks,
Tom
