[AG-TECH] Vic runtime error with WinTV-PVR 150 capture card

Wed Nov 2 19:20:55 CST 2005

I narrowed this problem down to the Hauppauge WinTV card driver. If I disable the device, vic works fine with a webcam or runs without a resource (not transmitting). When I enable the capture card again and select the card as a resource in vic's menu, vic crashes. However, it does not crash if I just enable the driver without selecting the WinTV card as a resource. The moment I do that vic will crash in any situation until I disable the WinTV card driver again. It looks like AGTk 2.4 has a serious issue with this particular driver. It is a shame, because most setup descriptions on the Net recommend this particular capture card.

If anybody out there has a good idea, I would appreciate that!!!

        Yea, the WinTV cards of any age are BT878 based, and so work great.
