Video capture on Matrox Marvel G400

Was anybody able to make it work with Resolume? I tried it with both 1.14 and new 1.15, and it doesn't work in both of them. Resolume sees the driver, but when you drag it to a channel, it waits a bit and then you see "error initialising driver" on the black background.

hi Yuri,
try to change the settings when u double click the driver name in resolume.
maybe its not working because u didnt set the right color depth or something...

good luck...

hi yuri

i have never managed to get my g450eTV capture working (or any other analogue source). DV works, but has a few issues - use with care...

Sure I tried to change the settings, it wasn't easy as well because there was a big pause after wich settings dialog opened BEHIND resolume window so I had to minimize it first. Alas, changing settings didn't helped at all.

To Tim: yes, after reading discussions here I've got a feeling I'm out of luck with Marvel. It's a pity because other VJ soft works with it quite well.

I have managed to make DV capture work, but I'd like to know what are the issues you mentioned

have you tried Pete Wardens freeframe plugin to capture a live feed? You can get all his plugins from our download page and you can find his documentation here: http://www.petewarden.com/PluginHelp.htm#LiveFeed

Yes I did, but I've got just black screen.

By the way, how do you configure freeframe live feed plugins? I wasn't able to do it, probably I need to select right format etc. to make them work.

Hi Yuri
Resolume seems to recognise and display a live feed via DV with no problem at all. The issues i have are when you take the DV feed out from a layer in the mix, it won't go trigger back in again until you restart resolume. Also, if you have a DV feed in the mix and you change decks, it also won't go back into the mix. Also, if your DV device is switched off, it locks up resolume for a while.
If you have a DV feed in constantly and change clips in the deck manually (rather than by loading a new deck) - no problems.
I'm not using much camera at the moment, so it's no biggie for me, but will investigate further in the future sometime to see if i can sort out these issues.

Hi Yuri,
the freeframe livefeed plugins are not really configurable...livefeed1 is for the first device and livefeed2 is for the second that's it.
there is no interface yet in the freeframe architectur to support those configurations but it will be possible in the future.
