I just purchased a TV@nywhere Plus card, hoping to read video from a video camera.

Whenever I start the MSI video program - the program at the top of the MSI main panel interface (see the bottom of this page for a screenshot) - I get the following two errors one after another:
Cannot render audo renderer (5001)...
Cannot init Direct show interface... (1001)

Unfortunately, this means I can't read video from the card, so I'm stuck!  Fixing the video error is critical, fixing the sound error isn't important (the video I'm importing is from security cameras, which don't have sound).


I've tried updating the directx drivers, but they seem to be the most recent?
I've tried updating the MSI drivers from the MSI site, but they seem to be the most recent?
Someone mentioned messing with codecs somewhere/somehow, but I don't understand how to do that.

I really need help.  My only option at this point is to return the card and find another..
Thoughts?

Try AMCap, and see if you get the same errors there.

Also, try updating your video card drivers, and audio drivers.

I don't get errors using the program you suggested (or webcamxp, the program I was using), however, the video signal is black... no video going through to these apps.

Which is why I was testing with the MSI app, thinking if I could get it working there, it would work within my other apps.


I will try to refresh the video/audio drivers.

This Windows XP machine has next to nothing on it.  The only thing I can see in 'add remove programs' that might contain codecs is the NVIDIA (video card) Drivers.

Not sure if there is any other way to check...
In the Device Manager, under 'Sound, video and game controllers' > 'Video Codecs' there are about 11 codecs in the properties tab.  Of course, they are cryptically named, so I can't tell what they are for.

Do you have any codec packs installed?

For capturing a non-TV source, you'll need to connect your camera to the TV card using the composite or s-video inputs.

For completeness of the thread, I have it connected to the RCA video input now.  I will try to connect it to the svideo input.  I assume they are the same though?

Conclusions:
1.  MSI software won't work with the Windows XP configuration I have (which was installed out of the box).  However, will work with other software (i.e. webcamxp, or arc's total media).

2.  MSI video capture card MUST have the non-tv video stream plugged into the composite port, NOT THE RCA.  If you have video coming through RCA, you must still plug it into the composite port with the included connection cord.

Hope this helps someone else.
