I don't know anything about video capture, but you're
probably missing a component or five somewhere. I suggest
you try getting the vampire.slx which I uploaded to
XPefiles.com and importing your hardware list and custom
driver into that and seeing if your application works
then. The vampire.slx (which doesn't include the latest
QFEs, I'm just working on that and going to upload a new
version) is a list of just about every software component,
apart from ones which clash, and so if something doesn't
work using that build, you know it's not a missing
component that's the problem.
 
Dear Linda,

Thank you for your answer. I've just tried the sample
AMCAP.EXE directshow capture demo and it detects the video
capture cards but Cannot instatiate graph builder. It
seems to me that there is a component missing. How can I
detect which one?
I downloaded your vampire_last.zip and will try figure it
out...

Hi Tom,

Have you included DirectX support and of course all required DirectShow
components.

Best regards,
Slobodan
 
Give me a minute, and I'll upload the actual latest one -
I've applied all the latest fixes, so you'll need all the
QFEs installed to use it.
 
Hello Slobodan,

Thanks for your reply.
I included Direct Show, Direct Draw, DirectCore and
subcomponents for those. I tried not to install all the
directx unless neccessary.
Do you think I should rather install all DirectX
components?
Best Regards,
Tom Galinski
 
Backup your slx file, and give it a try. Check again that you have included
all DirectShow components since they are vital to you.
If this is not a problem, then try to make full configuration, you can use
Heidi's vampire component.

Thanks Slobodan,

I installed entire DirectX and it seems to be that "TAPI
Audio and Video filters" component was missing.
Although the application still does not show the picture
but it detects the video capture boards now.
The sample amcap.exe sample still has some problems:
cannot render preview graph. I'm still looking what is
missing...

Best Regards,
Tom Galinski
 
Just a thought,

1. Check GART Driver
2. Check Video Driver
3. Check color depth, or Overlay functionality.

Dear Slobodan,

I can't figure out what is the GART driver you are writing
about?

Chipset driver for support of AGP, overlay won't work if you don't have it.
For Intel chipsets it is agp440.sys

Best regards,
