Video for Windows Conflicts with Diamond VideoStar Board

MORE INFORMATION

Below is a list of other potential problems with the VideoStar card that although documented by Diamond may affect the operation of Video for Windows.

• The switch settings for the port address of the daughter board (which enables video capture functionality) are mislabeled on the VideoStar card itself. You can find the correct settings in an insert supplied with the VideoStar documentation.
• You must run the Diamond Video Snooper utility in the background while Video for Windows is running. If Video Snooper is not running, a "capture device not detected" error message is displayed.
• Be sure to follow the instructions in your Diamond documentation regarding maximum screen refresh rates. Most modern computers default to faster refresh rates than the VideoStar supports. If the refresh rate exceeds that supported by the VideoStar card, screen corruption may occur in Windows.
