Hello,
I'm using VirtualDub together with an Elgato Video Capture device. First time it worked but now I receive constantly the message "Unable to start video capture" after "Capture video" command and no black video screen is displayed. I am using the last build of VirtualDub v.1.10.4 under Win7. No problems to display video files. I have tried everything suggested in different discussion forums, included this, but no luck.
Can you help me ?
Thanks a lot
Happy New Year

Found something about a problem with audio capture:

Verify Audio > Raw capture format ? Select and confirm the actual format ?

Thanks Abrazo,
following your suggestion I tried to change some settings in the audio menu under capture mode. The bottom selection list reports:
0 Capture Device
1 Line (Elgato Video Capture)
2 Elgato Video Capture Audio
3 ...
Only selecting 0 everything works as expected. This menu is confusiong since three items point to the same Elgato device.
Thanks a lot
Best Regards

Good to know that, selecting "0 Capture Device" in the Audio-menu, was your solution for the "Unable to start video capture" problem.

Regards.
