[vlc-devel] Re: [MOD] Problems opening DirectShow input (win32, log file attached)

[Damien Fouilleul]

Josh,

I've had exactly the same problem with my ATI All In Wonder, I've 
submitted a patch for the DirectShow plug-in, which has made its way to 
version 0.7.2 of  VLC. Hopefully, If you download this version, 
currently only available in CVS/SVN, this should resolve your problem.

There is a minor gottcha, however. the patch I submitted will try to 
force the video source to the 'Video Tuner' by default; However, you can 
fiddle with the Crossbar properties to choose the correct  input source 
(Enable 'Advanced Properities')

Anyway, if you are unsuccessful in getting the video source, send me the 
log file, and I'll see what I can do.

Damien
