Problems with Window Media tools / ASF recording
Hi all. New problem I need help with.
I'm trying to record a live source with the Windows Media encoder (WME), into ASF format.
My setup: P3-500/128MB, G400DH32, RR-G. In WME, I set up the capture options to 350,000 bps, 320x240, 30fps, 50% crisp/smooth, MPEG4v3 compression.
When I first installed WME and tried to record like this the vidcap driver wasn't recognized. I'd hit the process button, it would sit for about two seconds and then it gave me some nonsense about not receiving any signal.
I picked up the older MPEG-4 dll from desktop video world. Now it works, but the input signal is horribly skewed diagonally. This happens regardless of the input source.
I can record successfully with MPEG-4 in other capture programs, such as Ulead's vidcap program. Watching the video stream is also no problem through PC-VCR. I'm just trying to save a step by going live to ASF rather than recording an AVI, then converting to ASF (though at this rate, I'd wonder what the result would be - no, I haven't tried that yet).
Interestingly, if I try the above with 15 fps instead of 30fps, I get the same nonsense about not receiving a video signal by WME.
Comments/suggestions appreciated.
