ASUS Live Tuner Windows XP 2

[ZimZ]

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!

Hi. I'm running Windows 2000 Server and I have an ASUS V3800 with video-in and -out.

I tried installing the most updated NVIDIA driver (40.41_winxp.exe) and WDM (1.16).

And then I tried ASUS DVCR 2.1.

But when I try capturing video, an error comes out saying that I have the wrong driver installed. What gives?

Help anyone?

I just bumped in the thread as I noticed the weird problems with Asus3800 on a newly installed Win2k.

Previous installation of Win2k had worked just fine.

Running i2cinst.exe from an older asuslive fixed all of those pesky asuslive complaints for me

FuzzY-LogiC, I used VirtualDub & it was fine. Didn't have to set anything to keep it the right way up. But ASV2 didn't work(not that I care though).

Same problems as most people seem to have: Terrible noise with Asus DVCR 2.2 and Asus 7100 de luxe combo under XP Prof.
Using Asus 29.80 drivers.
It almost seems to work if only the sound would work.
By the way, country is the Netherlands and System is PAL.
Please somebody help !!

I did get it working this weekend. Key seems to be new drivers, I even have composite as well as the TV Tuner (I have my VCR hooked up to it, outputing on channel 3) working with all capture programs.

Nvidia's new 6.13.10.4041 drivers
New capture drivers 1.1.9.0 (9/Sept)

Just because Device Manager says the new drivers are installed, don't trust it. Look in driver detail and examine the non-Window's files found there. Make sure nvcap.sys actually IS 1.1.9 by looking at the actual properies of \WINDOWS\system32\drivers\nvcap.sys. Do the same, after you install them, to NVTUNEP.SYS, NVTVSND.SYS
and finally NVXBAR.SYS. While Window's Device Manager told me the files were there, they really were not when I looked on the hard drive.

Good luck....oh, one other thing I did, probably unrelated, was clock my AGP card up with one of the Detonator add-in I found. I am pretty sure we 7100 Deluxe Combo owners are dealing with an XP Interupt/IO issue here, not completely fatal, but close if you don't have the right hard ware.

Now, who has Netmeeting working?

i tried wdm 1.11 and a lot of other ones, please help me, its quite important!

what can i do?

Just a quick note to thank Freddy V for the posts regarding Igor Lookin's WDM drivers.

I have attempted various installations of Igor's drivers and Video Live software in both ACPI and StandardPC configurations and with all sorts of video drivers (nVidia reference and ASUS customized).

It has worked *EVERY* time!

FWIW -- I am using a V3400TNT/16/TV AGP card on a P2B (440BX) mainboard with a Cele466MHz w/ 256PC133 RAM.

I have yet to get any of the ASUS software (Live! or DVCR) to work with this configuration except in StandardPC mode, where my power management features are thrown out the window (see my post on 11Sept2002).

I would highly recommend all with v3400 cards to surf over to Igor's site (

http://www.ab.ru/~lookin)

and download the various packages. It's a little tricky since there is a WDM driver, a VideoLive software, and an updated registration key that's necessary to make it all work. A couple times I got a few errors when trying to install it. Sometimes just trying again worked, sometimes by rebooting and trying the installation immediately after rebooting did the trick. Once installed, though, the software works extremely well.

If so many people have problem with getting the capture to work well, and the answer is to install the WDM 1.08 drivers, why don't i see a link from the people who have successfully downloaded those drivers??? I checked the site of NVIDIA but those wdm 1.08 drivers are gone? Is there not an alternative site where i can grab those drivers from??

Thnx in advance...

<asus v6600 - xp - asusdvr 2.2 - wdm 1.19>

 

[eelko76]

okay, found it!

http://www2.driverguide.com/uploads/uploads13/42069.html

this is the site where you can get the wdm 1.08 drivers from Nvidia, first you install the WDM 1.11 from Asus, reboot, and you get 4 new 'device's', after this, install the wdm 1.08, he will remove the other drivers, but not the registry entries. You reboot again, that should work, no more white bar in your movies you record.

I have an Asus v8200 T2, XP Pro, AMD 1.33 oc'ed to 1.59, 512 Mb Ram, Asus TVBox, ect, etc. If you are having problems with this still try this:

1- Install the latest Asus driver for you video Card
2- Reboot
3- Install the nVidia WDM capture driver. After reboot, new hardware will be found. Go ahead and let them install. Install DVCR2.1 WITH the Asus WDM driver. When everything is installed, go Control panel--> System--> Hardware--> Device Manager--> Sound,Video & game controller. Check the WDM driver and you will see that the name is NVIDIA for 4 different drivers. Update them manually to the folder containing the Asus WDM drivers. This will eliminate the need for performing the .ini trick.
4- Once all have been updated, install DVCR2.2.
5- Reboot (for good measure)
Now everything will work fine, but the sound will not automatically shut off when you close the program. You will have to mute the sound prior to exiting for some strange reason, but easy to deal with considering everything else. If you know of a fix for the sound problem, please let me know.
There are alot of good files here:

Please email me if you have any questions.

Running both Win98SE and WinXP Pro on the same system.
CPU: Pentium 4 2Ghz - 512mb ram (PC800)
Motherboard: Asus P4T
Video: Asus V8200 Ti200 (GeForce3)

I do video Capturing and Editing with Adobe Premiere 6.01. I don't use Asus digitalVCR nor Asus Live.

I'll try to be as clear as possible so forgive me if it may seem long, but thank you very mutch for trying to help.

Like many others, I noticed that after installing the Asus Capture Drivers v 1.04g and rebooting, only Win98SE detected the new hardware, while WinXP didn't detect a thing. After reading a couple of threads here, I downloaded the NVidia Capture drivers, installed v1.19 and after rebooting, WinXP detected and installed the new hardware. Everything seemed ok, or so I thought.

I couldn't wait to use WinXP for capturing some sequences but when comes the time for the capture driver setup under Adobe Premiere, the only option I get is YUVY, where in Win98 I can choose from YUVY, Asus 2.0, 24 bits RGB, etc... The problem with YUVY is that capturing at 320x240 takes up a huge 250Mb for 1 minute!!!! When I use the Asus compression (only available in Win98) it's about 50 Mb for 1 minute.

I also noticed that the dialogs are not the same in Win98 and WinXP. I'm talking here about the dialogs when setting up the VFW (video for windows) options in Premiere.

So, the nVidia drivers might have a higher version number (1.08 - 1.19), but to me they are less efficient than the Asus ones (1.04g).

I tried installing the Asus Codecs but there is still only YUVY to choose in the VFW setup dialog under Premiere. Although, since I installed the Asus Codecs, of course I can now read the files I captured in Win98 with the &quot;Asus 2.0&quot; selection in VFW settings.

So right now I have to capture in Win98, and switch to XP for editing, otherwise, it's 250Mb/min.

When I look at the video Codecs in Win98, I have 3 lines about Asus, but in WinXP I only have 2, but this is the way the Codec installation .inf file is made.

At last, my question, and if you're still with me you probably guessed it, how can I get to capture with the Asus 2.0 codec under WinXP. In other words, how can I get the same choices that I have in Win98, when I get to the VFW setup dialog under Premiere 6.x.

Thank you for your time and attention...

I have Asus DVCR 2.2 working fine with my system. My only problem is that DVCR 2.2 uses a lot of CPU resources. I get CPU utilization of 70%-80% during live viewing. I've tried some different drivers and bios settings but nothing seems to help. Using the 1012a beta bios lowered CPU utilization about 10% but it's still high and some of my power features don't work in 1012a so I went back to 1011.

I also use PowerVCR II sometimes. It only uses 3%-8% of CPU resources. The picture quality isn't quite at good on my 110&quot; projection screen but it's very stable overall and I can do all kinds of other tasks while watching TV.

Does anyone have any ideas why Asus DVCR uses such high resources?

Here's my setup
Asus A7V w/ Atlon Tbird 1gig and 256 PC133
Braziliantech 1011 expert bios
Asus 32meg V7700 Deluxe (nvidia 40.72 and nvidia 1.08 wdm)
IBM Deskstar 75GXP 45 gig harddriver on Promise controller

Does TV -BOX work the same as a video card.
I can't upgrade my drivers for my v8200 TI if I do I can't video to work.
I get sound but no picture. I'm using drivers 3. I would like to update my drivers but can't.

 

[tntd00d]

Ok, here's the deal for me.

Asus 3400 TNT/TV, PAL version, 16mb SDRAM, Conexant Bt868 encoder. Win XP.

Every permutation of the NVidia WDM capture drivers messed up my system with the Code 10 thingie. Stock ones, Asus modded ones, etc.

What worked was:

1) Install Asus video card drivers. I have 31.40 now, I don't know if it would work anyway with the NVidia reference ones.

2) Make sure there's no trace of capture drivers installed. Disinstall the NVidia ones, old Asus ones, etc.

3) Here's the trick. I think that the Conexant encoder used in the 3400 isn't supported by the Nvidia drivers and the Asus mods bundled with the sucky apps like Asus VCR etc. So the trick is finding an Asus driver that works with the 3400 under Win2k/XP. The final release of Asus Live doesn't feature any driver but the beta 5, in fact, does. You can see it inside the .zip, it's acap*.* . In fact it's a Win2k driver, but works fine in XP too.

http://www.asus.com/pub/asus/beta/vga/live46b5.zip

Install it with setup.exe, and it will ask if you want to update the Asus capture driver. OK, reboot. Bingo. Same functionality as Win 98. The zip also features two little exes for installing and uninstalling the driver without Live itself.

It works quite well, you can specify the codec used including the asus ones, DivX, etc.

Problems: only quirk is that the frame rate seems less fluid than what it was on 98. Probably less mature, efficient driver.

Hope it helps, take care

Aside: What are the best programs to watch TV on the PC using the TNT's video in? Apps that can do stuff like having the TV signal as a trasparent background full-screen on the desktop, etc.

 

[tntd00d]

Guess I spoke too soon. Heh.
The driver is horribly broken.
Captured video is speeding up more or less randomly and video and audio are out of sync and jittery.
It's still decent for just watching TV, as long as you don't want to grab stuff.

Someone has devised a better solution in the meantime?

 

[ChucklezT]

FuzzY-LogiC, can you please specify the process you go through. I have this interesting problem. I am able to capture Hi8 camcorder video using DVCR no problem from the SVCD input of my 8200 Ti200. Only issue is that there is some minor quality loss.

When I try to use VirtualDub with any combo of deinterlacing filter and compression the damn interlacing choppiness is still in the AVI file!

My goal is to get lossless footage that I can then run through any encoding process afterwards. Can you tell me what steps you follow to get the video to look smooth?

Also, anyone know how I can get VirtualDub to allow me to change the format to YUY2? It only allows UYVY in XP and 98.

 

[ChucklezT]

Never mind, stupid thing I was trying to do was filter during the capture. You must capture then deinterlace using a filter in VirtualDub. Supposedly Avisynth offers the best current solution using the Bob parameter, but I havent figured out the procedure for that method. Probably would have to demux audio, process, then remux again.

As for the white block, get the archived version of the WDM off of Nvidia's site 1.08 and it should fix the problem. NOTE: make sure that you change the *.inf file for the crossbar to install an ASUS not nvdia crossbar (ASUS must be in caps) otherwise DVCR will not work.

I got stuff to work. After a lot of research. solution: don't use VfW drivers or (!) microsofts VfW2WDM wrapper. Don't use Virtualdub to capture! It uses the wrapper if you have the WDM codec installed. i.e. it must have VfW as input. result: dropped frames. never use VfW and Asus Live under W2K or WXP, it only works under 98.

V6xxx/v7xxx must use Nvidia WDM 1.08
V8xxx/v9xxx use newer Nvidia WDM drivers
in any case: get new vga drivers at:
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/NVIDIA/

Use Ivan Uskov's VCR instead of Asus VCR

http://www.iulabs.com/eng/index.shtml

It can use all WDM drivers The Nvidia 1.08 drivers but also BT878 drivers for your TV-card (also provided by Uskov)

To capture lossless use HuffYUV:

kay. that's it! if it doesn't work... I'm at a loss! Maybe also flash your vga bios to enable the sideband?

Vrozen

 

[vrozen]

wait! another warning!
If you don't use Nvidia WDM 1.08 but a newer version on a V6xxx or V7xxx card you will see a white bar. to get rid of it use Nvidia WDM 1.08. and remember: don't use virtualdub to capture! (but it's fine to encode AVIs)

V6600 Deluxe and it only took me 2 years to get it working! I do know a lot about it now

It has a Chrontel 7005 tv encoder chip:
Nice software:

Also works with newer Nvidia TV-out.

And a philips SAA7113 or something

Ah nevermind.
Good luck!
