[vlc] Re: Capture video / Stream with direct show:

There's pretty much a standard debugging approach:
1)  Does VLC work with my input device?
2)  How do I transcode to a file?.
 
I've checked a latest VLC build, plus 0.8.4a, using Win XP Home Edition,
SP2.  Both a generic USB Webcam and an Osprey PCI framegrabber are working
fine.  This tells me that VLC is generally "playing nice" with DirectShow
devices.  If your USB capture device is DirectShow, it should be OK.
-Do you have the very latest drivers installed for your TV402U, whatever the
vendor provides?
-Try to get a local display:
--File -- Open Capture Device
--Select Refresh List, next to Video device name, then pick your device from
the dropdown list
--Select "Configure" next to "Refresh list" -- this should open whatever
directshow control panel the vendor has made available for the device -- try
selecting different options
--Down in display size, try plugging in 320x240 for the time being
--Select OK -- the Open window should close, VLC connects to your device, a
video window appears.  If this doesn't happen, go back through and try
chaning the options you reach through Configure.
 
Once you are able to get a local display, you should be able to take the
next step, transcode to a file.
