ASUS Live Tuner Windows XP

I've switch to Windows XP. Everything works fine, except for Asus Live. I get the following message:
Video decoder detecting occurs error!
Possible reasons:
1. Your display card doesn't have a video decoder
2. Your monitor or monitor driver is not proper design for I2C Bus control

My card: Asus V7100 Deluxe Combo.
Motherboard: Socket 423 P4, 850 Chipset

Anyone with a solution?

Thanks!

I've got it working on XP!

- download the Nvidia-drivers (23.11)
- download the WDM-drivers (Nvidia, 1.08)
- download Digital VCR 2,5 Beta

After installing... it worked for me!

I switched too and had problems with the DVCR.  I found the solution on the ASUS download site.  Although, I'm still struggling with the audio capture.  There are a few zip files to download.  The driver first, then the beta software.  XP will warn you about it not being authorized, but ignore it and you'll get the correct drivers, etc.  Hope this helps.  Go to:   http://usa.asus.com/download/multimedia/beta-app.htm

Here is how it worked for me (ASUS 7100 Deluxe Combo under Windows XP)

1. Install ASUS 7100 Deluxe Combo Video Driver v14.62a
2. Download Digital VCR 2.5beta
3. Download Digital VCR 2.0
4. Unzip both
5. Replace WDMCapDrv folder in Digital VCR 2.5b with the same folder coming with Digital VCR 2.0 (so you are basically using a mix of beta VCR and released WDM capture drivers)
6. Run Digital VCR 2.5b installation.

At this point everything would work fine. But after some time it stops working - and I cannot figure out why. On my last installation it stopped working after the first time I ran Remote Desktop

ASUS DVCR + XP step by step

Step 1: If you have already installed the nVidia WDM drivers, uninstall them. First go to control panel ---> add or remove programs and uninstall the WDM drivers. I'm pretty sure you should do this next step as well and that is removing the hardware components of these drivers. Right click on My Computer ----> properties ---> hardware ----> device manager. You'll find all of the WDM components (all 4 of them) under Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Uninstall all WDM components.

Step 2: Next go to http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=windows2000 and download both the latest GPU driver and WDM driver. Install the latest GPU driver. Take the WDM driver (a self extracting zip file) and drag it into Winzip (actions ---> check out) and create a new program group. Delete the original file so you aren't tempted to click on the unmodified driver later.

The following was supplied by Dr|zzt:
Now find the "nvxbar.INF" in the folder you extracted the WDM's to (you might have to set explorer to not hide system files) open it up with notepad and scroll down to the bottom. The 3rd and 2nd last lines should look like this:
NVxbar.DeviceDesc="nVidia WDM A/V Crossbar"
NVxbar.Crossbar="nVidia WDM A/V Crossbar"

Change them to this:
NVxbar.DeviceDesc="ASUS WDM A/V Crossbar"
NVxbar.Crossbar="ASUS WDM A/V Crossbar"

Save the changes and click on setup in the new progam group and install the drivers.

Step 3: Go to ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/ASUS_VGA_TOOLS/
and find DVCR 2.0 beta. Download and install it with the ASUS WDM capture driver. Halt the installation when it gets to the nVidia WDM capture drivers (I'm not sure, actually, if it does any harm to install these older drivers). Anyway, I found that solved pretty much any problems I had... Good Luck!

More info on the topic (see previous post by me).

Reinstalling the (old?) driver from the original CD that came with the card (NOT made for winXP) fixed the problem with ASUS Live, meaning TV Tuner + Remote works perfectly. The CD doesn't claim to work with WinXP, but clicking the button in the flashy autorun program that says "Install Video Capture Driver" results in the message "... Successful ..." ;)
Reboot, and there you go.
Concerning ASUS DVCR; the sources seem to be set right but still the same sync problem. Another problem is that ASUS Live fails after ASUS DVCR has been run, really annoying since I don't use to shut down my computer (Suspend-To-RAM takes care of that, but the capture driver makes suspension fail!).

go there and install these drivers, it work
when you install the drivers for the video it install also the capture driver

http://download.asus.com.tw/mm_alllist.asp

I had the same problem, but I fixed IT!
Heres how.

First.  Remove any 3rd Party drivers you have
Second.  Go to www.nvdia.com and download the detonator drivers for XP.

Third. Also from the same website download the WDM_1.08.exe

Fourth. Download the new Asus VCR(asvd200.zip)
Install Everything and you should be ready to GO!!

asuslive in setup ask if i whant update capture i click yes.
after setup i reboot and start asus live and answer is :
Video decoder detecting occurs error!
  The reason could be :
  1. Your display card doesn't have a Video
      decoder
  2. Your monitor or monitor driver is not proper
      design for I2C Bus control.

i have an asusv7700 gts deluxe 64mb ddr
i have run win 98se win me win2k win xp
win98 se and win me are the only problem free os for asus live and digital vcr.
However Asus have 2 drivers that do work one is an earlier version driver for "win2k ver 6.49"and "14.62" and asus live. ver 4.62beta2
these do work for me in win2k and xp and i Have been able to capture video on both.However video is slightly choppy.
IMPORTANT ASUS LIVE AND DIGITAL VCR SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A USER WITH ADMINISTRATOR PRIVELDGES. that is the username and pass created when the operating system was installed.
or make an account with admin.also some motherboards will show an unknown device in system properties,thisis actaully part of asus live or digital vcr so dont disable it.

Here's how I "solved" it:

dual boot (w2k and xp)... sad isn't it?

Hello everybody!

I've got many of the problems above and I tried my ASUS V-7700 Deluxe 32 MB in almost all MS operation systems. The only systems which function properly are WIN ME, WIN 98 and WIN 98SE. With WIN XP, WIN 2000 and NT 4.0 I've got the mistakes which are mentioned before.

With Linux running I don't know about the capturing. At least the card functions. (Mandrake Linux 8.0/8.1)

So now I did it like this: I installed both WIN XP and WIN 98SE. In WIN 98SE I capture and in WIN XP I edit. It is a bit angry that I have to change the OS, but I reach my targets.

I hope, I helped a bit

i used the drivers from nvidia drivers 4 the GeForce 2 Ti Deluxe (the make n model of my card).. when i installed both the WDM driver and the display drivers capture and output worked fine i also used digital vcr 2.1 beta hope this helps!

Ok. I HAVE HAD it working fine in XP (14.62a + nVidia WDM 1.08). But then one day my composite input quit working. And the tuner "channel" from VCR turned black and white...

Things works fine with VfW under Win Me, but even there (Me) the WDM has the same problem.

Ideas? Gbg, this sounds a little like your problem.

Here's a solution for those with no sound when capturing in XP.

Make sure you hook your sound wire in the "Line-in" plug on your sound card.

Go into Control Panel.
Choose "Sounds and audio device".
Select the "Audio" tab.
Click on the "Volume" button in the "Sound Recording" section.
Now, put a check in the box beside "Select" in the "Line-in" section.
You are done. You can now capture with perfect sound.

Hi, I've done it with ASUS V7100 Deluxe Combo:

1 - Download all the latest drivers from nVidia (GPU, WDM, Stereo Glasses ...) Install all(making change in the ini file of WDM drivers from nVidia, change nVidia to ASUS)
2- Download ASUS Digital VCR 2.2 from: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/ASUS_VGA_TOOLS/asdvcr22.zip

That's all, except that for some TV Channels the sound suxx but I think this is the best for now.

When I install the WDM Asus driver and I want to capture video (V3800 S-Video in) I get a lot of lost-frames. Looks likes the software is set to NTSC.
I use Ulead Media-Studio 6.5 set to 25 frames full pal.

When I used Win98 (VFW) it worked perfect.

Please Help

You can file a complaint here... I did

http://www.asusmall.com.tw/forms/complaint.asp

Can recognize many of the above problems. Have a 7700 deluxe. Capturing worked fine until I installed Windows XP.
VFW hasn't worked since. It cannot lock a framerate so sound and images are in fast forward mode.
With this setup
display driver 29.41
wdm 1.08
and Dvcr 2.2
I can record mpg's fine with no loss of framerate and perfect sound. However two problems remain:
I get black vertical bars in the image recording pal(BDHG) video.!
In capuring AVI with dvcr the image is flipped on both axes!

Just noticed there is a WDM 1.11 at this location: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/

I'm a bit confused as to all these different version and numbering schemes of drivers, but I'll give them a try anyways.

well (sigh) back to testing

First of all I got an Asus v8200 dx card

My tip too all of you with a Asus GeForce3 dx running on an XP. FORGET ABOUT ASUS LIVE.

USE ASUS DIGITAL VCR. It is 100000 times better, special the screen qualety.

download it here: the newest non beta version:
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/ASUS_VGA_TOOLS/asdvcr22.exe

Good luck
 

running dvcr under xp? if you are getting a message similar to - asusdvcr has encountered an unexpected memory access problem.will be terminated... you may have dvcr set to be compatible with an earlier system in the compatibilty wizard.. you forgot didnt you!!

Works for me!

I have the 8200 deluxe model. and am using XP Professional

I installed the asus live (during install it asks to install the WDM Capture driver. I said yes to that option.

Then after the installation was complete (and rebooted) it didn't work.

I got the no decoder found or I2C Bus not supported by monitor error.

If you goto C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Live (or whereever YOU installed it to) you should see a file called i2cinst.exe. Run that and it should work. You shouldn't even have to reboot, but I would to be safe.

Good luck.
Terry.

P.S: If you need the i2cinst.exe file, email me (netfinder@sympatico.ca) and a reply address (obviously). I'll do my best to get you the file.

I have a 7100 combo-deluxe.
I'm checking this forum now since I installed Windows XP - about 9 months ago.

After all the tips that I read here, I concluded that until now there is only one decent solution: Install Windows ME or 98 on a second harddisk!!
Install your Asus-software on this second operating system
(I'm still using DVCR 1.4 - no frame drops - no sound problems) and capture your stuff.

For editing etc. you switch back to XP again.
The switching between operating systems can be done by creating a double boot-system or by switching the bootdisk in the BIOS.

Good luck.

Forget all about DVCR.
Try using the ASUS Live Video utility instead.
It works fine to me.
CELERON 1.100, 256MB ram, ASUS V7100 Deluxe Combo.
But i think that ASUS has a rong aproach to our problem.

Asus has just fine support.  Your problem is either a) you upgraded to XP instead of formatting your hard disk, or b) you have not installed the correct XP drivers, which I found in this thread about 4-5mo the SAME night I upgraded to XP.  I do feel for you though, I remember the battles with XP and drivers I had, BUT, after 3 formats and XP installs, my Athlon T-bird 800MHz, 384MB RAM, ASUS GeForce2 v6800 Deluxe has worked perfect.  I might add that some drivers work the capture, and not ASUS Live, and for some drivers its the opposite.  There might be a driver that works both by now, but I am starting my search for it now as I want to capture now.   By the way, my vid-input comes from my satellite box as my monitor is my TV.

here what i did to get the darn asus working, and as for their support, asus is not good period. If I have to spend days installing somthing then I am not getting the support i need. I am not a rookie PC user. Any way what i found to be the lucky strat. is to install nvidia drivers for the video card first then add the WDM driver and heres where the luck kiks in the first several times I installed the WDM driver XP would not recognize anything had changed. But i just kept on reistalling the drivers about 5 times and then bingo all sorts of new hard ware found. Now every thing works asus DVCR works great. As for people that get frame drops check your hard drive mak sure its a fast one for WIN XP. Hope this helps
Thanks to NVIDIA for picking up ASUS slack!!!

I had all kinds of problems with my Asus v8200 but I found the following solution for running it with XP:

1.  De-install all the software (asus and/or nvidia drivers, dvcr, alive, tweak, etc..).
2.  Download the Win2KXP_2941.exe driver from the German Asus site, the only place that seems to have all the current stuff: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/V8xx0/Win2KXP_2941.exe
3.  Download the WDM Capture 1.11
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/V8xx0/wdm1_11.zip
4.  Download Digital VCR 2.2
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/ASUS_VGA_TOOLS/ASDVCR22.EXE
5.  Install in the following order: video driver, capture driver, digital vcr 2.2.  I recommend you reboot after each step.

You can also get other things like the Tweak utility, and the the latest video security if you poke around in the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/

No other versions worked for me, and DVCR is way better than Alive - which is no longer being developed.

I have finaly done it with win xp and asus v7700 video card and conecting the video camera. Here is how I did it.
use explore from start and open up all the files, right click on all the setup and executable files, basicly all the files that have compatability mode tab, and tick run in compatability mode. set for win2k do this for all the items in that folder and then run the setup file. if I does not run and errors (not 95 compatable) change from win2k to 95.
I installed asus live viewer last. I have all the codecs set and it captures great if you have probs let me know.

Good luck
Chris

Try the following WDM driver. Obviously Gainward has adapted the original driver, but this one also works with Asus cards (at least with my one 6600).

http://www.gainward.de/gwnewsite/gwdown/gwdriver/gwnvidia/video.exe

don't ask me why, but it works. Previously I got the same problem (white rectangel when trying to record) as you. Unfortunately this solution is not very stabel. The DVCR is crashing very often.

hope this helps

I had the "white block" problem caturing with the 7700 Deluxe and Win-XP
I tryed the 29.42, 29.41, 29.80  and also the old 12.41 together with the Asus-version of WDM1.08 and the nvidia 1.11 and 1.12 (from gainward). It did not work together - each combination gave a big white block in the middle of the picture in the capture movies.

Asus Germany gave me a quick answer to my "white block capture problem" (e-mail within half a day!)
the answer:
"mit den WDM Capture Treiber 1.08 von Nvidia direkt (http://www.nvidia.de/view.asp?PAGE=windows_xp_2000) tritt das Problem nicht mehr auf."
means that with the WDM1.08 direct downloaded from nvidia it works, with asus version it does not work.

No it works!!  I use downloades from asus the 29.41 and the asdvcr22 an from nvidia the wdm1.08

Thanks to the german ASUS support.

Good luck

I tried this for winXP pro and i still get the Division by ZERO error and i get access violations at 0x0000000 what the heck is going on?  why can't we use this software for XP?
 

FYI, the link mentioned by DerZyniker above has been updated to:

Capture works for me on XP too. I never even removed the old copies of the Asus drivers, just installed the new Technogarb ones over the old ones, and WDM 1.08.

The only problem now is that the guy making the Technogarb drivers doesn't want to update them anymore :^/

I hope someone can point me in the right direction with my Asus 7100 Deluxe. I have both W2K and Win 98 installed on my PC. In order to start with video capturing I installed following software :
1. Asus driver for 7x00 ver 29.80
2. Asus WDM driver ver 1.1.1
3. Asus Live ver 4.6
4. Asus Digital VCR ver 2.2
I've connected my camera to composite input. Now the problem : Asus Live shows image from the camera, but there is no sound, when click on capture I get error : "Connecting to capture dirver occurs error...". When I start Digital VCR I have no image, no sound. I have checked that I've got correct setting for video format and input type. This problem occurs both on W2K and Win 98. Please help.

I got video working. But no sound from the tv turner....

Hi,

i've a problem after recording. The file has an white bar 1/3 size of the screen!
Where's the problem????

Hi,
I'm having the v7100 combo, and the problem I'm having is as soon my PC boot's up the tuner get's in and i'm hearing the tv, I have to open digital VCR and close it, to shut it up. I uninstall/reinstall everything, I have the latast driver 2980, wdm 1.11, advcr 2.22

Can anyone help me

sincerly
Pierre

I have the ASUS 8200 Deluxe, and I can't capture anything. First off I am a noobie to this capturing video stuff so bear with me. My VCR has one video out port (its yellow) is that an RCA out put or a Composite out put? (WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE) Well I am using a  monster RCA cable that I use for TV out on the ASUS card (tv out works fine), I hook that cable to the video out of the vcr to my 7 pin asus svideo in adpator which has an rca adaptor (yellow) along with an svideo adaptor. Is that a right set up? If not please tell me what the right (cable) set up would be. Now I will try all the solutions given here for now but I'm starting to lose my hair trying to figure this out.

I'm using Windows ME with asus 29.80, asus WDM 1.11 (i think also tried the nvidia WDM 1.08), asus dvr 2.1 beta (i've tried all of the other versions), asus live (all versions). When I set it up for capture using TV tuner option I get a gray screen with lines running up and down horizontally, it's like SNOW on TV just not dots. The other two options composite and svideo just give me a BLACK SCREEN. I believe my TV-in is broken, don't you think so?

I can capture using my camera through USB, but I really want to get my family tapes from the VCR in the computer. I'm about to sell this sucker and get me an ATI all in WONDER card or get that DAZZEL device if this doesn't work

ASUS USA does suck in support...

I've got an ASUS 3400 and XP in NTFS and I can't get the capture driver to work. Not with any of the NVidia nor the Asus drivers. Whatever I try, I get the message for the capture driver "This Device cannot start (Code 10). Neither Asus live nor the capture work. Any suggestions?

I've also got an ASUS 3400, but running under Win98SE. Sadly I'm not able to get the capture drivers to work, too.
Same error as above (Device cannot start, Code 10). I'd be gald for any help or suggestions...

2000P/S
I have had luck in the past installing the asus v7700 deluxe with xp and windows 2000.  I installed newest drivers from asus website (the german one mentioned above in july).  Grabbed 2980 and the asuswdm.  In 2000 i installed digital vcr 2.0 right off the bat with no problem.  
XP
In xp, i installed the latest vid driver and asuswdm driver but, u have to install 2.1 first cause that is the only version with an xp compatible asus asv2 codec (located under device manager, sound video game controllers, video codec, right click hit properties, resource tab).  If it doesnt appear at the top of the list it aint installed.  Asus dvcr 2.1 is bundled with it.  Just upgrade the wdm and advcr without uninstalling.
Recently purchased a asus geforce ti4600 ultra deluxe card and have tried all of the above that worked with the 7700 card without any luck.  All drivers install, but under sound and video game controllers in device manager i get "error code 10 device cannot start" with the asuswdm capture driver(universal).  
Anyone got a clue cause I've talked to tech support 5 times and all i get is the same install i just did, we'll call u back, or they send me the same drivers i already had.

Thanx

Something to try?? (v3400 model users...)

I have the following setup:

ASUS P2B (1.02, BIOS 1014 BETA 001)
ASUS V3400TNT/16/TV (SDRAM model, BIOS 2.04.17)
Windows XP Professional
German ASUS Drivers v29.80

I have tried installing ASUS LIVE 4.6, 4.6b2, and 4.6b5 with no luck.  I have tried using WDM drivers 1.08 (nVidia), 1.08 (ASUS PAL patch), and 1.11 with no luck.  Originally ASUS LIVE gave me the "no I2C" support error, but as Netfinder posted earlier, there is an "i2cinst.exe" file included in the ASUS LIVE package that fixes that problem.

As others have encountered, my "nVidia WDM Capture Driver" always errors with Code 10 ("Device cannot start").

I sent an email to ASUS, and actually got a reply back the next day (today).  They indicated, and here is the catch...

ASUS LIVE does not yet support Windows XP!  At least no released version.

ASUS suggested I try the ASUS Digital VCR for Windows XP.  I have submitted a followup clarification request because the link to their DVR software does not indicate that it supports the V3400 card.  I will post again when/if they reply, clarifying whether or not v3400 cards are supported with the DVR software.

I have not yet been home to try the DVR software, but I wanted to go ahead and post this information hoping that it may help some other frustrated customers.  Below is a snippit of ASUS's email with the steps to follow.

Hope it helps!

-------------- ASUS Support Reply --------------

Dear Customer,
    Thanks for choosing ASUSTeK.

    We have not released ASUS Live Utility software for Windows XP OS. But we have new capture software, which is called ASUS Digital VCR software version 2.2 for our VGA card. Please download it from our website as following URL:

http://download.asus.com.tw/mm_dl_menu.asp?Status=51&l1=2&l2=2&l3=3&mid=20

  ASUS Digital VCR 2.2 needs the nVidia WDM capture driver installed. It is available from:

http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers

Installation Process:
  1. Windows XP OS installation
  2. Install Motherboard AGP driver according to the motherboard chipset.
  3. Install ASUS Windows XP driver.
  4. Install ASUS Digital VCR software 2.2.
  5. Due to those drivers are not certificated by Windows XP, please install them anyway. After reboot, it will auto detect the new hardware and install all of WDM driver and capture driver.
  6. Please open Windows Device Manager, if you can find "nvidia capture device", "nvidia audio/video crossbar", etc in "Sound, Video and Game Controller" list and without any Unknown Device, then you can run our ASUS DVCR program for testing.

I have an ASUS v3400 running under WinXP. I am getting Device cannot start, Code 10 with Detonator Drivers 29.42 and Nvidia WDM 1.08 and also 1.13.

Has anybody figured out what to do yet?

On one of my machines, I'm also running Windows XP, ASUS v3400 (TNT with TV in/out).  I get the Code 10 when I try to install ANY of the different versions of the WDM drivers.  I haven't spent more than an hour messing with it yet, but if anyone finds the solution PLEASE post it here, it would save me (and others here) a lot of time...

I think you can fix this if you run your machine in "Standard Mode" instead of "ACPI Mode" - unfortunately the machine I'm using is a dualprocessor box, so I am forced to keep it running the ACPI MultiProc Hardware Abstraction Layer... you guys with single CPU systems can probably change to Standard PC mode and get the WDM driver running.  Do a complete backup before you make this change however.

subhuman,

  how do you change between ACPI and Standard modes?

thanks,
dane

i have a 7700 deluxe on a XP system, i cant get to the properties window to configure the display (t.v display).
any ideas?

I've now tried ASUS DigitalVCR instead of ASUS Live on my Win98Se system (with V3400). The prog doesn't find the capture drivers. I suppose it's because of the code 10 (device cannot start). Has someone found an approach to that problem??? I'd be very glad to here some solutions...

Thx, MatchMan

I finally worked it out (for the V3400) to get it going under XP. You need to install ASUS Live Version 4.6B2 (with capture driver Version 1.1.0.0) It works up to 704X576. No full screen TV overlay though. If you can,t find this version on the net, I can mail it to you. (gbeu@ozemail.com.au)

Cheers,

Jerry

did anyone find a fix for the july 19,2002 post from berserker, I have pretty much the same problem.  My computer is in a dual boot mode winxp/win98se.  both operating systems have the same symptoms.  Dvcr will load but in TV Tuner mode there are white/grey horizontal lines running through the picture.  However if I set the channel then go into composite video mode I can watch the picture.  In order to change channels I have to go back into TV Tuner mode then back to Composite again.  The sound only works intermittantly.  Also sometimes I cannot get any channels above 13 even though the setting is on antenna mode.

Asus DVCR 2.2 not workin in PAL-N. Drivers amd software works fie for me in XP; the error message i get is "can't decode signal as video standard"; so tv signal is Black and White (it's working in NTSC).

Ps: I'm from Argentina.

Well, i returned my brand new asus v8460 for rma service cause of the code 10 error.  Well, they rudely called me early one morning asking me what was wrong with it.  I was so mad!!  They called me back cause they still couldnt find a problem with it a half hour later.  I explained that they gave me a case number for a reason and that i shouldnt have to explain the problem over and over to 12 different tech guys who give me the same answer:
"MAKE SURE U DISABLE ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE!"
Anways, they sent be a copy of the log from their testing software and it said it came up with no errors.  This also included 3 hrs of video loop time (probably with a keygen copy of 3d mark 2001 se).  

I'm not a stupid moron, i know how to install hardware and software(well except their software cause some 90 year old nearsighted fool wrote it!).

Well, the only solution for anyone elses problem is to install asus digital vcr 2.1 beta cause there is a video codec (under sound and video game controllers video codecs in 2000/xp) that only beta 2.1 installs!  Gotta upgrade to anything else.  Watch carefully when it auto uninstalls before u can install; i.e. make sure when it says "file no longer use by system would u like to remove it?" that u say NO to removeing "asus asv2 codec.*.  Everything else u can say yes to.

DVCR 2.1 beta xp/2k comes with its own asus wdm install which is 1.08 (u can upgrade to 1.11 later).

For those having a problem with vertical lines in and mode (composit tv tuner etc) ur probably using the nvidia drivers.  These were written for detonator drivers only.  U need asus modified wdm drivers!

Anyone have a clue about the code 10 error?  I looked it up and windows help said something about it being a device failure error.  I am pretty sure that its ok since asus rma told me they installed wdm and capture a dvd with it.  I have replaced everything in my system (motherboard, video card, monitor) and noticed i have a agp voltage problem.  AGP x4 uses vddq 1.5 and 3.3 voltage for agp voltage.  I have been having problems keeping the 3.3 voltage above 3.0.  I have purchased a new powersupply but its not here yet.  I'm sure i will repost by then and hopefully with good news.

Hey btw mr. yo-helados make sure the jumper on the card is also set to pal.  You have to take it out and look for ntsc/pal and 3 pins with a plastic jumper on two of them.

A ray of hope: I *did* have the Code 10 error, but it disappeared after one of the following things happened:

1) I reinstalled Windows XP after accidentally removing the boot flag from my C drive.

2) I installed the correct drivers for my internal Netcomm Lucent 56k modem. When the incorrect driver was installed, the modem was unable to hear the dial tone. After installing the non Microsoft driver, the modem worked, and I had a few new system devices, including one called "Unimodem Half-duplex Audio Device". When I noticed this, I also noticed that there was no longer a question mark icon over the Asus WDM driver.

I suspect the Code 10 appeared because the modem and video card were sharing the same IRQ, and by fixing the modem, the Code 10 resolved itself.

Well, i found an irq sharing my vid card and i had the capture driver in without a hitch.  I rebooted and i got error code 10 once more.  I rebooted and xp decided that it wasnt gonna boot anymore.  I had a config file go corrupt on me for the 45 times i installed/uninstalled wdm drivers.  

I reinstalled xp over the same partition to save my personal files in about 20 minutes.  Thank god all my files were still there.  I just have to reinstall every program again.  I reinstalled all asus package and it wouldnt work again.  I checked for any conflicts or sharing irqs and nothing.  Finally i was moving all my drivers from my backup on c:\program files\icq\received files video to my d: backup hd.  I then tried one more time and it worked.  

I was trying to install drivers from a dir that windows doesnt let hidden files into any system folders(ya ntfs, not really).

Thanx for all the help.  Forums really work for u sometimes.  

Ok, I've tried different things but I cant get it to work.  I have a Geforce 2 GTS Deluxe (v7700) and a Tv-Box.  With the last driver of Asus for the video card and the WDM 1.08 from nvidia + DVCR 2.2 I can see what I plug in my S-video, but I cant see the TV(horizontal white/black bar on all channels).  Also I cant capture, I always have a white block in the center.

Someone have an idea ?  I didnt do the ini trick .. should I ?

I thought I had the problem solved with all the knowledgable tips being offered here but to no avail! Here are the specs:

Athlon 700/Win XP Pro/256MB SDRAM/Asus v7100 Deluxe Combo

Clean installed (with antivirus disabled) the following as suggested by DerZyniker (see Jun 24, 2002):
1. Asus 29.80 video driver
2. Asus 1.11 WDM driver; with modifications by hcir (see Jan 24, 2002)
3. Asus Digital VCR 2.2; using the video codec from DVCR2.1 as suggested by SirShaggSalot (see Aug 8, 2002)

I cannot see a thing from my VCR source, which is connected to the breakout box, within DVCR (or VirtualDub either, for that matter) but it does perform a "capture" at 6 fps. Dropped frames? Oh, several. The resultant file is the same result as Luvien (see Aug 12, 2002), nothing but a horizontal black bar on top, a horizontal white bar in the middle, and a horizontal black bar on the bottom.

Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated as I cannot afford to lose any more hair over this [granted, if I didn't pull so hard that would help ;) ].

Thanks!

Hi everyone!
Thanks to all for advises, but I need one more suggestion about:

horizontal white bar in the middle of my captured video.

I am using:
ASUS V6800 (Nvidia GeForce 256) 32Mb AGP DDR
1. Asus 29.80 video driver
2. Asus 1.11 WDM driver
3. Asus Digital VCR 2.2
Everything works fine, except this. Thanks for any help.

Was there a solution for the Code 10 problem with the asus 3400 in win XP? (a non IRQ solution..)  If so, please post it!  (*on my knees beggin'*)

Ok here it goes ! Check this, it WORKED for me.
I have an Asus v7700 Geforce 2 GTS 32 meg and a Asus TV-BOX.
I was using windows ME and everything was fine, I asked the tech support at Asus if there was any problems moving to Xp and I got this..

******************************************************
Dear Customer,
    Thanks for choosing ASUSTeK.

    We have not released ASUS Live Utility software for Windows XP OS. But we have new capture software, which is called ASUS Digital VCR software version 2.2 for our VGA card. Please download it from our website as following URL:

http://download.asus.com.tw/mm_dl_menu.asp?Status=51&l1=2&l2=2&l3=3&mid=20

  ASUS Digital VCR 2.2 needs the nVidia WDM capture driver installed. It is available from:

http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers

Installation Process:
  1. Windows XP OS installation
  2. Install Motherboard AGP driver according to the motherboard chipset.
  3. Install ASUS Windows XP driver.
  4. Install ASUS Digital VCR software 2.2.
  5. Due to those drivers are not certificated by Windows XP, please install them anyway. After reboot, it will auto detect the new hardware and install all of WDM driver and capture driver.
  6. Please open Windows Device Manager, if you can find "nvidia capture device", "nvidia audio/video crossbar", etc in "Sound, Video and Game Controller" list and without any Unknown Device, then you can run our ASUS DVCR program for testing.
******************************************************


BUT !!  This is NOT working with my setup.  After 4-5 install of Windows Xp it seems that you CANT mix the NVIDIA WDM and the ASUS VIDEO CARD DRIVER.  If you do so, you will see something from the S-Video IN, but nothing from the cable TV.

The best way is :
1- Install the latest Asus driver for you video Card
2-Reboot
3- Install DVCR2.1 WITH the Asus WDM driver
Note, in windows Xp I found that even if you remove the nvidia WDM driver, Windows will still get these from somewhere in his directory.  If you already installed NVIDIA WDM capture, install DVCR 2.1 with Asus WDM, after reboot new hardware will be found.  When everything is installed, go in Control panel, Sound, Device, check the WDM driver you will see that the name is still NVIDIA.  Update them manually.  Update driver, and chose the directory in your DVCR21 wich contain Asus WDM. (no need to do the ini trick)
3-Reboot
4-Unistall DVCR2.1
5-Reboot
6-Install DVCR2.2
Voilà !

(I'm pretty sure you can install the Asus WDM 1.08 alone with DVCR 2.1 and DVCR 2.2 after)

No more white block when I capture, everything is good except ... After I use DVCR and I reboot my pc, I still can hear the sound of the TV.  I have to open DVCR again to close it.  Or I have to always mute the line-in before I close the DVCR.  Anyone has any ideas on that ?

If you have the same setup as me, you can contact me at luvieneq@hotmail.com for more info!

I hope it help! :)

Mr. Magoo contact me pls, we have the same problem :)

I have an ASUS 7100 Deluxe combo and after installing all the updates for XP, and install WDM 1.08 when I want to install the DVCR 2.2 tells me that "a version previous of DVCR" exists and does it ask to remove it, but doesn't it figure for uninstall, do look for in the registry and neither I did find anything, does somebody have idea against that check when it installs?

Hi XZX,

If I'm understanding you correctly, you can't install the latest DVCR 2.2 due to a "previous version" exists. The easiest way is to go to your Control Panel and use the "Add and Remove Programs" icon to get rid of DVCR 2.1.

Be aware that you need to keep a video codec from DVCR 2.1 as no other version comes with it apparently (see SirShaggSalot, Aug. 8, 2002). Does my rig work like it's supposed to? No. But I'm going to try the suggestions listed by Luvien (see Luvien, Aug. 14, 2002).

Good luck!

hi,

can anyone confirm me,  does digitalVCR work with Asus3400?

I got AsusLive 4.6, Asus driver 6.49 under windows2000

and i wanna try DigitalVCR with nVidia display and WDM Capture driver.

It works now for me, I had all the errors described...

System:
ASUS 6600 Deluxe (Geforce 256 SDRAM)
NVIDIA Detonator 30.82
NVIDIA WDM 1.08

DVCR 2.2

The following worked for me:

Problem: "Code 10"
Solution: I disconnected the video-in cable! I also trecognized that a 7 pin connector will cause the Code 10... a 4 pin will di fine.

Problem: "white bar"
Solution: Nvidia 1.08 from nvidia, since there is no changelog to find, its hard to say that a 1.16 driver would do better.

Note:
I reinstalled windows 3 times, and spent the whole weekend to solve a problem, which should not be a users task! I am not very amused about Asus...

For all those guys who mailed me with questions regarding getting to work ASUS Live with the V3400 Card under XP:

ASUS Live version 4.6b2 can be downloaded at: http://ftp.cvut.cz/Asus/beta/vga/
and the nVidia driver Win2K-XP_23.11 can be found at:
http://skjalfti.simnet.is/files/drivers/Detonators/
The above combo works for me.
Cheers,
Jerry

I just updated to the XP bandwagon, and have the Asus V6800 Deluxe. I had a heck of a time
trying to get the capture mode to work with it, now I get a solid "white" bar in the middle of all my captures.

Any idea what is causing this?

I have installed the WDM 1.11 driver that Asus offers, along with the 28.80 drive from Asus.

Thanks

I had the same problem, and olso the same card, change WDM driver from 1.11 Asus to 1.08 Nvidia - it works for me, no White bar enymore.

Cheers.

Well my whole problem with the capture driver going code 10 after rebooting was a voltage problem.  I purchases an antec true powersupply.  3.3 voltage went from 3.08 to a steady 3.20.  Even rebooting and turning on/off system, the driver holds.

U need asus dvcr 2.1, a good powersupply, and no other hardware sharing ur vid card irq.  After all of that, manually update asus wdm to 1.11 and install asus digital vcr 2.2 without uninstalling 2.1

Asus gave me no help with my problem.  They insisted i was an idiot.  Not once did they mention powersupply conflict, even though i had a 400 watt powersupply my voltages were going up and down.  Now with a true powersupply not a problem.  Enermax is good as well.  U need at least 300 watt but i suggest at least a 330 watt ps.  

As far as the white bar conflict, i would try to avoid mixing asus and nvidia specific drivers.  My capture works just fine, except it will not play back the files.  Prolly cause i use a codec pack that only associates with mediaplayer.  I watch every file on media player and it looks just as good as it did when i captured it.
   

I have been weary about upgrading my last PC to WinXP Pro from Win98SE with Asus 3400 as I used that PC to watch TV via the Video In, while I worked. After going through these wonderful threads, I finally got a combo that sort of works:
Win XP Pro (fresh install)
Video Driver - Win2K-XP_23.11 (unsigned)
Asus Live 4.6b2 / 4.6b5 / 4.6r (started with older and upgraded up)

The problem is I cannot watch TV anymore as I can see a single frame and I have to walk over to update each frame manually. Bah! 30 mouse clicks per second; I do not think so. Asus Digital VCR version 2.1 / 2.2 does not work with the vfw Win2k drivers that is installed from the ALive 4.6x. None of the other combos work like various Video and WDM drivers. All ends with Code 10.

I really hate to pension a perfectly working 3400 because of Asus's bad XP support but it is looking like it is a buyer beware of Asus issue.

Sorry about the several posts. I kept on getting a Post error and had no idea that it actually posted.

Hello you all.
I've a problem that I have not seen here.
(I'm just new so maybe in earlier messages)
If I start DVCR 2.2 (or 2.1)I got the message "Can not start Capture driver!" Does somebody has an idea?
I use Asus VGA driver 14.62a, WDM driver 1.11 (tried 1.08 also) XP Prof.
Cannot find the Capture driver in the system either.
Where should it be visable?
Thanks

i had the Code 10 error..
this is what worked for me.

1. unplugged svhs cable
2. changed from 75watt psu to 250watt (ADM athlon 1.2ghz)

capture driver is in digital vcr 2.1.  How many time do we have to say it.  It isnt in any other release.  When installed under xp or 2000 it appears under sound and video game controllers, video codec.  Select properties of video codecs and see if the first one says asus asv2 codec.  If it is not there it will not work.  

ONCE AGAIN IF IT IS NOT THERE IT WONT WORK!!!
INSTALL VIDEO CARD DRIVERS, ASUS DVCR 2.1 WHICH HAS ALL THE WDM U NEED.
If it still doesnt work, its either an irq conflict or u need to check to make sure ur video card is getting at least 3.15 for the 3.3 voltage.

BTW, xp and 2000 wont tell u there is an irq conflict.  You must check every hardware properties to make sure that ur video irq isnt assigned to anything else.

FORGET WHAT EVERYONE ELSE SAYS ABOUT NVIDIA WDM, IVE ONLY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THOSE WHILE USING ASUS VIDEO DIRVER.

I have removed the Asus Live 4.6x and the vfw Win2K driver installed by Asus Live 4.6x. From here I have the following:

Win XP Pro (fresh install)
Video Driver - Win2K-XP_23.11
DVCR 2.1 (capture portion dumps during install)

On reboot, I checked 3.3V P/S reads 3.33V - very healthy. The DVCR 2.1 Capture install bombs out in the middle of the it's install. I think that us 3400 owners have another wrinkle that 68xx 71xx 82xx owners do not have to deal with. No surprise that I have not  received any email back from Asus Support.

I moved my only PCI card to slot 2 from slot 3 that makes Multimedia IRQ move from IRQ 11 to 9 and 9 is not used by anything else. On reboot, however, XP stuck it back to IRQ 11 that is shared with the VIA Audio, VIA USB, and ACPI. I am going to take this system back to basics and try again.

Will post when I have more info.

System: XP, 7700D.

After the white bar problem(as well as dropped frames in captures above 352x288), I decided on a fresh install of XP. Started reinstalling the usual - 29.80 drivers, Live 4.6r. Live couldn't detect my card unfortunately & after finally finding this thread I fixed the problem. I'm using Digital VCR 2.2 & WDM 1.08. I have no problems capturing to mpeg in any size & the white bar problem is gone & I never have any dropped frames anymore. The only problem is when I capture to AVI, the capture is flipped(Cosworth1 posted the same problem). It seems the ASV2 codec flips the capture & DVCR doesn't let u change the codec(not that I know of anyway). Does anyone know how to change the codec in DVCR or know of a program that can easily flip the capture back to normal?

Can ASUS V6800 captur in WinME?

Hi there fellows!
I read ALL this post but still I haven't found a solution to my problems.
I have XP, and a 7700 ti deluxe.
Naturally I tried to download the 1.08 WDM, but I noticed a WEIRD thing:
In control panel I'm getting only 3 WDM drivers, and guess who's missing??? Video Capture -_-
Installing ASUS or Nvidia doesn't change anything, after removing THOSE 3 drivers, and after installing (e.g.) 1.08 WDM, after reboot I only get those 3 recognized :(
I REALLY don't have a clue as to what to do now.
I am beginning to think I'll NEVER be able to install a VideoCapture driver on this machine :(
Any help will be welcome. :)

Ok, Anything sorted.
Basically I wasn't getting the "fourth" WDM driver in the control panel because I had a "Unknown Peripheral" which I totally ignored. GUESS WHAT? The unknown peripheral was a "old" capture driver which prevented the new video capture drivers from installing.
O_o
So I removed the peripheral, reinstalled 1.08 and eveything went fine. :)
I guess it's true that each day you learn something new. :D

Hey Bewick!

Regarding your problem with a flipped picture when capturing to AVI.. i think you should try use VirtualDub.
 If you don't already know about it, get to know it :) - its a brilliant program to let you edit your video files.
it have an internal filter called "rotate", im quite sure thats what you need.

I use Vdub to capture in ASV2, then resize, crop, deinterlace and finally save it as raw avi (take much disk space though).
After that, i can make anything i want from this edited source... SVCD, SBC (DivX 3.11a) DivX 5.02, Xvid...  Thats just the way i do it.

I hope you can use some of this... Good luck!

Sys Specs: XP, 6800D

Hi folks,
I'm trying to make the ASUS V7100 DELUXE combo
show some TV on Win2k. After installing the
drivers 29.80 and NVidia wdm1_11, and DVCR2.2
things started to work a bit. I can see (and record)
almost all channels from the cable, however the sound
is very very noisy (before I used this card on Win ME
and the sound was OK). What am I doing wrong? Before
I also used a diff. sound card but I gues the AUX IN
should work the same way (or if not, I would not hear
anything and not this noise I'm hearing  now).

Any help would be really welcome,
thnx,
Richard.

I have two probs on my hands. 1st any asus version of the display driver i install results in a system hang during boot (during the WinXP logo, just before entering the GUI), 2nd I've got the damn code 10 "device cannot start" curse!! this seems like a major problem for asus cards, and i'll be damned if i do a fresh install of WinXP just to add capture support (same goes for the dual boot solution).  

The Asus tech guys better get there act together and come up with a proper explanation.  Seems everyone's come up with completly different answers to the problem!

WinXP, V6800 Deluxe, Asus Live (alive46r.zip):
1. Install Nvidia WDM_1.08.exe
2. Install Asus Live(install Asus capture driver when asked)
3. Run C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Live\I2cInst.exe
4. Enjoy.

I think this is how i did it.... :P

I found that for my setup of XP Pro and the 7100 Deluxe the new (1.17) Nvidia drivers installed twice (they didn't take the first time, a common problem for many) along with the new (4.041) NVidia drivers for the card cured most of my problems.  The only ASUS anythingf I am running are the ASV1 and ASV2 codecs.

Only wierdness: All of my WDM drivers show as Version 1.17, dated 6/27/02 EXCEPT the TV/Audio crossbar, which shows as 1.16 dated 6/7.  Upon examination of the driver details however, nvtvsnd.sys shows up as 1.17 here as well as on disk....very wierd.

I can now capture via channel 3 out the back of an old VCR using any input into the VCR (camera, tape, antenna).  I have the "big white line problem" in composite video capture however. In other words, a direct antenna line in from my VCR antenna out to video card in works OK, the little black converter box which comes with the 7100 Deluxe Combo cannot work via its composite input.

I want to know: Under XP, just how does one change the IRQ or memory allocation resources of the video card?

It's been a while since I've posted, but have learned a lot in the past few w
