Betatesters needed

[Markus Zingg]

Hi all

I'm seeking registered AVI_IO users which use a Matrox capture hardware that includes a TV tuner. I'm having a pretty stable new version ready of AVI_IO which might means great new's for this kind of users :-)

If you are interested and if you have time to do the (quick) test, send an e-mail to m dot zingg at nct dot ch.

Note, I'm in a hurry, so you need time to test this beta right now ( weekend of July 29th ). I'm in a hurry because I want to release this version asap.

Hi all

I'm going to answer myself :-)

I meanwhile got some beta testers - thank you to all of them. The reason for the beta test was that I added (among other things) support for TV tuners (scanning for stations, configuring stations, choosing stations etc. etc.). I did this using a technology adopted by several TV tuner boards vendors called "Intercast". However, it apears like this does NOT work for the Matrox boards. So my question is:

Can someone reliably deny or confirm that intercast is NOT supported on Matrox boards?

I'm going to implement the COM interface to the driver now to achive the similar functionality but ok, I would apreciate if I could save this effort - not only it means some work, but it also means that I can't deliver the new Version right now.

It's not supported. I'll be out for 2 weeks as of Monday so you can contact me then for more info Markus.

Marcus,
The tuner part may not be worth pursuing for Matrox, but the session capture option is definitely a great addition.

Sorry Markus, I can't help out this time, timescales are too tight.

Bear me in mind for the future tho, I want to support one of our favourite pieces of software.

Cheers
