| Sorry if this has been discussed already, but i've had a search on these forums, and google, and i can't seem to find an anwser. Basically, VirtualDub detects my capture car, tells me it is connected but doesn't give me a prievew. When i try to record with it it tells me "Unable to start the capture,". Now, my capture card is working in Windows Movie Maker, and Camtasia, but not here. I want to use VirtualDub to capture because of the amount of control you have over audio and video. I have tried other programs but they are all useless, i have also tried a few versions of VirtualDub but neither of them woreked. Also, i have recorded using VirtualDub before with no problems. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. |

| What capture card do you have? Does VirtualDub give any reason for not wanting to start the capture? Are you using compression? |

| I've tried a number of different compression methods, right now im on Xvid and PCM, VirtualDub doesn't give me a reason, and im using ADS Video Xpress, which has worked before for me. |

| Have you tried uncompressed? If I had to take a guess it would be that the card is feeding VirtualDub already compressed frames. Also try if you can fiddle around in the capture pin and filter settings (video menu). |

| Try turning off overlay in the video menu to see if the preview works. |
