OS: Windows XP / Windows Server 2003
Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev
I prefer using the Server.
Video Card: ATI All in Wonder Pro, AGP 2X, 8 MB
Windows will detect it as
ATI Technologies, Inc. 3D RAGE PRO AGP 2X
Driver Signer: Microsoft Windows Publisher
ATI Audio Video Crossbar (ATIXBar)
WDM TVAudio (ATITVSnd)
ATI TV Tuner (ATITumep)
WDM Video Capture For AIW (AtiBt829)
(This was the default configuration after installing Windows)
I am unable to fully revert to it, so All described below
is for my current configuration.
I have some doubte in the Video Capture driver and the
Closed Capture driver.
My current configuration is based on Video Driver from ATI
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-j5-30-1-b02.exe
After installation it will ask You to install the components
listed above. Install the same Signed drives from Microsoft.
Then I installed a driver pachage:
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-cap [...] 0-6238.exe
Reboot.
Open Device Manager and update the Video Capture driver to
ATI WDM Bt829 Video Version 6.14.10.6238 (18.3.2004)
Yes, I know that this driver is not for my hardware, but it
is the only one that allows me to capture video in resolution
higher that 352x288 (it supports 720x576 - real size).
Also this driver will work with Windows Media
Encoder 9, after
a registry key for a Microsoft driver is deleted
(Closed Caption Driver - described below).
Crush description for my current configuration:
Please note that the driver crush may also appear with
the Default configuration after Windows was installed
and with The configuration after installing the ATI display
driver. I made too much configuration changes and tests today...
Start Windows Media Encoder 9.
Broadcast a live event.
New Session Wizard
Device Options
[Video] ATI Bt829 Capture
Click configure. Click OK. Click next.
(o) Pull from encoder...
Next Next Next Finish
Start Encoding
Error: The device is not connected.
Exit from Windows Media Encoder.
* Nothing happend.
~ Are You sure? Check the Task Manager.
* wmenc.exe is runing.
~ Can You close it?
* Nope!
~ Why???
Device Manager
Sound, vIdeo and game controllers
ATI * (all devices that are part from the Video Card)
~ Can You disable any of them?
* No. It asks me to restart.
~ Of cource not, they are not responding.
Regedit
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CCDECODE]
Detete this key and reboot.
If You Start Windows Media Encoder 9.
Broadcast a live event now, it may crush crush emediately.
I used End Task. It didn't close, but it closed one or two minutes.
If it crushes, reboot and from Device Manager
Disable:
Closed Caption Driver
ATI WDM Audio Video Crossbar
Start Windows Media Encoder 9.
Broadcast a live event.
New Session Wizard
Device Options
[Video] ATI Bt829 Capture
Click configure. Click OK. Click next.
(o) Pull from encoder...
Next Next Next Finish
Start Encoding
* It's working!
~ Yes it is! Stop it and exit.
~ It exited successfully. See Task Manager.
* Indeed!
You can now reenable
ATI WDM Audio Video Crossbar
It Should work with them.
Now Graph edit:
Open GraphEdit
Insert:
Video Capture Sources\ATI Bt829 Capture
Direct Show Filters\Video Render
Connect them and click the play button.
Driver file details:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\CCDECODE]
DisplayName = Closed Caption Decoder
ImagePath = System32\DRIVERS\CCDECODE.sys
ccdecode.sys

File version 5.3.0000000.900 built by: DIRECTX
As You see, if I disable the Closed Caption Decoder
I can use Windows Media Encoder 9 to broadcast live video.
In My case I prevent the driver from running by deleting the
registry configuration.
[09:09 22.6.2004 ?.]
I just reinstalled the Video Driver again and updated the WDM drivers to
ATI WDM Bt829 Video Version 6.14.10.6240 (14.4.2004) (newest)
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-cap [...] 0-6240.exe
They seem to be better than 6-14-10-6238.
Now I can run Virtual Dub and open 720x576 without crushing
Windows. :-)
GraphEdit still crushes the capture driver, when I connect
ATI Bt829 Capture to Video Render and click the Play button.
I can also start Windows Media Encoder 9, capturing video,
with no need to disable the Audio Video Crossbar.
I'll keep useing these until there is some hot-fix for my
hardware and / or Windows from Microsoft and / or ATI.
[9:37 PM 22.6.2004 ?.]
I just updated my Windows XP installation's video capture
drivers to the latest drivers for RADEON. They seem to work
mush better than the original. Requirements:
ATI display driver
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/wxp-j5-30-1-b02.exe
ATI WDM Bt829 Video Version 6.14.10.6240 (14.4.2004) (newest)
http://www2.ati.com/drivers/tv-cap [...] 0-6240.exe
Update the ATI WDM Bt829 Video to the new version from RADEON.
Disable the Closed Caption driver.
I suggest that microsoft create a driver update for
ATI All in Wonder Pro AGP 2X video cards. Based on this
configuration (Windows XP and 2003 Server.
