hi guys ive used the ccard befre worked fine but i lost the disc and suffered a system error needed to reformat ive tried numberous drivers etc everytime i try i get no signal error or a complete system dump obviously a driver conflict anyone able to suggest anything?

What version of Windows are you on?

Are you sure you have an EzCAP116? before I go any further.

[evilsine]

yeh its 110% 116 and also vista 32bit

If you are getting "no signal" you need to make sure the EzCAP itself is working.

Unplug the EzCAP
Go into "device manager", expand "sound, video and game controllers"
Plug the EzCAP in. Device manager should refresh and you should see "USB 2861 dfevice"

If you see it, it's working. If it does not refresh when you plug in it is dead.


If it is working, what are you trying to capture? vhs/gaming? Are you using Arcsoft showbiz?

[evilsine]

no im using pinnacle ultimate

[bigweeal]

Sorry, i do not know anything about Pinnacle Ultimate. Do they have a forum? have you asked there?

Do you have the Arcsoft software? load it up and see if you get a signal on that.

OK, I have come across this error message once before with a customer who purchased an EzCAP.

It was a driver conflict. He was into making music and had a couple of things he plugged into his usb port. He did not want to disable/remove any usb drivers so he tried the audio to line in method and it cured it for him. (he did not have an audio problem, he had exactly the same problem as yours. Could capture but came back with "invalid file" message)

I would try the following...
Go into device manager and disable all other usb drivers, reboot the pc and see if it works.
If it does not, I would go back in and delete them. rebbot the pc and try again. If it works, reinstall all other required usb drivers one at a time and try arcsoft after each install.



Purchase a phono to 3mm jack and insert into "line in" on your sound card.
"3.5mm Stereo Jack to 2 x RCA" adaptor. You can get them for 61p inc delivery on Amazon

http://www.amazon.co.uk/WE11130-Adaptor-3-5mm-stereo-sockets/dp/B000L9C3GY/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1271193386&sr=8-5

Take the 2 audio outs from your games console/vhs player and insert into the adaptor. Insert the adaptor into the "line In" input at the back of your pc on the sound card. This leaves just the yellow video lead going from the games console/vhs player into the ezcap.

Change the audio settings in Arcsoft from "usb audio device" to "line in"
