I've switch to Windows XP. Everything works fine, except for Asus Live. I get the following message:
Video decoder detecting occurs error!
Possible reasons:
1. Your display card doesn't have a video decoder
2. Your monitor or monitor driver is not proper design for I2C Bus control

My card: Asus V7100 Deluxe Combo.
Motherboard: Socket 423 P4, 850 Chipset

Anyone with a solution?

Thanks!
 
running dvcr under xp? if you are getting a message similar to - asusdvcr has encountered an unexpected memory access problem.will be terminated... you may have dvcr set to be compatible with an earlier system in the compatibilty wizard.. you forgot didnt you!!
 
Works for me!

I have the 8200 deluxe model. and am using XP Professional

I installed the asus live (during install it asks to install the WDM Capture driver. I said yes to that option.

Then after the installation was complete (and rebooted) it didn't work.

I got the no decoder found or I2C Bus not supported by monitor error.

If you goto C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUS Live (or whereever YOU installed it to) you should see a file called i2cinst.exe. Run that and it should work. You shouldn't even have to reboot, but I would to be safe.

Good luck.

P.S: If you need the i2cinst.exe file, email me (netfinder@sympatico.ca) and a reply address (obviously). I'll do my best to get you the file.
 
I have a 7100 combo-deluxe.
I'm checking this forum now since I installed Windows XP - about 9 months ago.

After all the tips that I read here, I concluded that until now there is only one decent solution: Install Windows ME or 98 on a second harddisk!!
Install your Asus-software on this second operating system
(I'm still using DVCR 1.4 - no frame drops - no sound problems) and capture your stuff.

For editing etc. you switch back to XP again.
The switching between operating systems can be done by creating a double boot-system or by switching the bootdisk in the BIOS.

Good luck.
 
Forget all about DVCR.
Try using the ASUS Live Video utility instead.
It works fine to me.
CELERON 1.100, 256MB ram, ASUS V7100 Deluxe Combo.
But i think that ASUS has a rong aproach to our problem.
 
Asus has just fine support. Your problem is either a) you upgraded to XP instead of formatting your hard disk, or b) you have not installed the correct XP drivers, which I found in this thread about 4-5mo the SAME night I upgraded to XP. I do feel for you though, I remember the battles with XP and drivers I had, BUT, after 3 formats and XP installs, my Athlon T-bird 800MHz, 384MB RAM, ASUS GeForce2 v6800 Deluxe has worked perfect. I might add that some drivers work the capture, and not ASUS Live, and for some drivers its the opposite. There might be a driver that works both by now, but I am starting my search for it now as I want to capture now. By the way, my vid-input comes from my satellite box as my monitor is my TV.
 
here what i did to get the darn asus working, and as for their support, asus is not good period. If I have to spend days installing somthing then I am not getting the support i need. I am not a rookie PC user. Any way what i found to be the lucky strat. is to install nvidia drivers for the video card first then add the WDM driver and heres where the luck kiks in the first several times I installed the WDM driver XP would not recognize anything had changed. But i just kept on reistalling the drivers about 5 times and then bingo all sorts of new hard ware found. Now every thing works asus DVCR works great. As for people that get frame drops check your hard drive mak sure its a fast one for WIN XP. Hope this helps
Thanks to NVIDIA for picking up ASUS slack!!!
 
I had all kinds of problems with my Asus v8200 but I found the following solution for running it with XP:

1. De-install all the software (asus and/or nvidia drivers, dvcr, alive, tweak, etc..).
2. Download the Win2KXP_2941.exe driver from the German Asus site, the only place that seems to have all the current stuff: ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/V8xx0/Win2KXP_2941.exe
3. Download the WDM Capture 1.11
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/V8xx0/wdm1_11.zip
4. Download Digital VCR 2.2
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/ASUS_VGA_TOOLS/ASDVCR22.EXE
5. Install in the following order: video driver, capture driver, digital vcr 2.2. I recommend you reboot after each step.

You can also get other things like the Tweak utility, and the the latest video security if you poke around in the ftp site:
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/

No other versions worked for me, and DVCR is way better than Alive - which is no longer being developed.
 
I have finaly done it with win xp and asus v7700 video card and conecting the video camera. Here is how I did it.
use explore from start and open up all the files, right click on all the setup and executable files, basicly all the files that have compatability mode tab, and tick run in compatability mode. set for win2k do this for all the items in that folder and then run the setup file. if I does not run and errors (not 95 compatable) change from win2k to 95.
I installed asus live viewer last. I have all the codecs set and it captures great if you have probs let me know.

Good luck
Chris :eek:)
 
Try the following WDM driver. Obviously Gainward has adapted the original driver, but this one also works with Asus cards (at least with my one 6600).


don't ask me why, but it works. Previously I got the same problem (white rectangel when trying to record) as you. Unfortunately this solution is not very stabel. The DVCR is crashing very often.

hope this helps
 
I had the "white block" problem caturing with the 7700 Deluxe and Win-XP
I tryed the 29.42, 29.41, 29.80 and also the old 12.41 together with the Asus-version of WDM1.08 and the nvidia 1.11 and 1.12 (from gainward). It did not work together - each combination gave a big white block in the middle of the picture in the capture movies.

Asus Germany gave me a quick answer to my "white block capture problem" (e-mail within half a day!)
the answer:
"mit den WDM Capture Treiber 1.08 von Nvidia direkt ( tritt das Problem nicht mehr auf."
means that with the WDM1.08 direct downloaded from nvidia it works, with asus version it does not work.

No it works!! I use downloades from asus the 29.41 and the asdvcr22 an from nvidia the wdm1.08

Thanks to the german ASUS support.

Good luck

I tried this for winXP pro and i still get the Division by ZERO error and i get access violations at 0x0000000 what the heck is going on? why can't we use this software for XP?

 

FYI, the link mentioned by DerZyniker above has been updated to:

ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/V8xx0/Win2KXP_2980.exe

Capture works for me on XP too. I never even removed the old copies of the Asus drivers, just installed the new Technogarb ones over the old ones, and WDM 1.08.

The only problem now is that the guy making the Technogarb drivers doesn't want to update them anymore :^/
 
I hope someone can point me in the right direction with my Asus 7100 Deluxe. I have both W2K and Win 98 installed on my PC. In order to start with video capturing I installed following software :
1. Asus driver for 7x00 ver 29.80
2. Asus WDM driver ver 1.1.1
3. Asus Live ver 4.6
4. Asus Digital VCR ver 2.2
I've connected my camera to composite input. Now the problem : Asus Live shows image from the camera, but there is no sound, when click on capture I get error : "Connecting to capture dirver occurs error...". When I start Digital VCR I have no image, no sound. I have checked that I've got correct setting for video format and input type. This problem occurs both on W2K and Win 98. Please help.

Can anyone help me

sincerly
Pierre
 
I have the ASUS 8200 Deluxe, and I can't capture anything. First off I am a noobie to this capturing video stuff so bear with me. My VCR has one video out port (its yellow) is that an RCA out put or a Composite out put? (WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE) Well I am using a monster RCA cable that I use for TV out on the ASUS card (tv out works fine), I hook that cable to the video out of the vcr to my 7 pin asus svideo in adpator which has an rca adaptor (yellow) along with an svideo adaptor. Is that a right set up? If not please tell me what the right (cable) set up would be. Now I will try all the solutions given here for now but I'm starting to lose my hair trying to figure this out.

I'm using Windows ME with asus 29.80, asus WDM 1.11 (i think also tried the nvidia WDM 1.08), asus dvr 2.1 beta (i've tried all of the other versions), asus live (all versions). When I set it up for capture using TV tuner option I get a gray screen with lines running up and down horizontally, it's like SNOW on TV just not dots. The other two options composite and svideo just give me a BLACK SCREEN. I believe my TV-in is broken, don't you think so?

I can capture using my camera through USB, but I really want to get my family tapes from the VCR in the computer. I'm about to sell this sucker and get me an ATI all in WONDER card or get that DAZZEL device if this doesn't work:-(

ASUS USA does suck in support...
 
I've got an ASUS 3400 and XP in NTFS and I can't get the capture driver to work. Not with any of the NVidia nor the Asus drivers. Whatever I try, I get the message for the capture driver "This Device cannot start (Code 10). Neither Asus live nor the capture work. Any suggestions?
 
I've also got an ASUS 3400, but running under Win98SE. Sadly I'm not able to get the capture drivers to work, too.
Same error as above (Device cannot start, Code 10). I'd be gald for any help or suggestions...
