asus v6600 deluxe capture issue "...a video port is required..." 1

[sparatik]

Whenever I try to run ASUS LIVE on my ASUS V6600 DELUXE , I get the following error after the splash screen:

--
Your display device (or driver) does not support a video port.
A video port is required for ASUS Live.
--

I have also tried this with other video capture programs, and get similar errors. I have uninstalled and reinstalled released drivers on the ASUS site (and also the newer beta drivers). I even used the drivers on the CD that came with the 6600 deluxe. Any suggestions?

The devices I have tried to connect to the card were my sega dreamcast (which worked on my older computer 400mhz bx motherboard), and my video camera.

I found there was no specific 6600 deluxe BIOS on the asus support (driver) page... but I did flash my bios a few times with a few different versions for the 6600 series. None of them made a difference..even after uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers and graphic software.

I have an A7V motherboard, Athlon TBird 900mhz, 128MB-VC133 ,ASUS v6600 deluxe, SB Live, and a couple of IBM Deskstar ata-100 harddrives. (running windows98:SE w/ necessary window updates)

I have the same problems with my ASUS 3400 TNT. I have just put a new monitor on (an AOC Spectrum 7Glr) in place of a very old 640x480. The Live program used to work fine with a composite in from my Cable Box but now reports a missing Decoder or I2C Monitor or Driver problem. Have tried installing new monitor drivers/ different Versions of the Live program etc. No effect

I received a email from Asus. They told me to d/l the driver v14.62.
ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/asus/vga/agp/v8200/1462w2k.zip
and the Asus VCR 2.0 works fine in XP.

"At present, ASUS Live doesn't support WindowsXP yet. Sorry for your any inconvenience"

Read the word YET, I hope they fix it soon.

I have a different problem. Asus live 4.06 worked fine in my system. I have asus 3800 tnt and using driver ver. 3.79 on win2k. But then I noticed that all my power options have gone. I couldn't hibernate or suspend my machine. ai2cnt driver uses irq 9 (actually it can not it reports this irq is not available). This irq is also used by acpi. I think this is the problem. But uninstalling asus live does not uninstall this ai2cnt driver. So i first uninstalled it from device manager but that didn't solve the problem then I reinstalled live and uninstalled again but this time didn't uninstall ai2cnt I just disabled it(from device manager). And my power options came back. Is there any solution for using both power options and asus live together.

When installing software to my asus 7700 deluxe64, on win xp, my computer crashes when i start up, are there anybody that can help me, I'm seriusly in trouble.

I agree k-oz. No more ASUS for me neather. They make great hardware. But they make bad software. I have already lost LOTS of hours trying to install these drivers. Incredible:
Example of an installation procedure

A. Format all harddisks
B. Install Windows 2000
C. Install WinZip
D. Install Service Pack 2
E. Install Graphics Card (NVIDIA drivers)
F. Install Capture Drivers (NVIDIA)
G. Install ASUS Digital VCR 2.0

result: Won't work!

etc... Already tried 3 evenings installing the ASUS Digital VCR 2.0 and won't work until now. Tried 6 times from scratch (new Windows installations). Will not work!!! Asus Live works but is no good.

I will never buy ASUS again.

Few month ago I tried to made working video capture on ASUS v3400 under Win98 SE. Typical errors, with different versions of drivers and VideoLive, were "exception ... in I2C.DLL" (when starting VideoLive) and the same thing in capture driver (after attempt to switching to capture mode). Then I tried the ASUS Digital VCR 1.3 (another terrible thing, which can't remember about 90% of its settings, including selected codecs, but, anyway, better then VL). It wasn't crash in I2C.DLL anymore, but still unable to switch into the capture mode.

Next, I tried an older versions of ASUS capture driver (three files - ASUSCAP.DRV, ASUSCAP.DLL & ASUSCAP.VXD) from older versions of v3400 driver packages. After some attempts, I found normal driver, which wasn't crashing. Unfortunately, it was not suppoting 'ASV2' video format, which are required for ASUS ASV2 video codec. And the ASUS digital VCR can't remember last used codec settings, and after each restart wants to use ASV2 by default.

After all this @#$, I found a program called "Video Live",
which do not use ASUS capture driver, and works directly with video card decoder uing it's own WDM driver. It has only two disadvantages - it hasn't a sheduled capture option and it isn't freeware anymore...

PS I don't understand, how it is posible for such respectable firm (ASUS) to supply their products with such <censored> software.

I might have a solution:

I am using Win XP Pro (Same as win2K).
I also have the v8200 Deluxe video card.

After I installed the ASUSLive software and the WDM Capture device I was unable to run the asus live software. I got the error message about the I2C Bus not being supported or no decoder found.

When I installed the ASUS Live software, I installed it to C:\Program Files\ASUS\ASUSLive (Default location). In that folder, the setup program installed a file called. I2CInst.exe (161 Kb). After installing this file, everything worked fine.

I don't know where you can download the i2cinst.exe file, but if you like, email me with your reply address (obviously) and i'll send it to you. Im using the generic drivers that came with my video card (the retail driver cd). Which I believe is version 5.10.... I think....

Good luck.

I have the same problem no video port. How did you solve it?

Hi.
this to all people having trouble capturing with asus v6xxx/v7xxx.
All drivers above Nvidia WDM capture 1.08 will not work with your card!
with v8xxx/v9xxx newer ones do work.

1) get WDM driver from asus germany
ftp://ftp.asuscom.de/pub/ASUSCOM/TREIBER/VGA/NVIDIA/v6x00
2) get the asus driver from the same url.

virtualdub doesn't work! why?
virtualdub uses VfW drivers.
these are outdated drivers provided in ASUS LIVE, use the newer WDM drivers.
The reason virtualdub does function even if you use WDM drives is that there is a VfW2WDM wrapper Microsoft made (I read that on virtualdub.org). My advice: don't use the wrapper. To capture using WDM drives use
Ivan Uskov's VCR:

http://www.iulabs.com/eng/index.shtml

This program can use the Nvidia 1.08 WDM drivers to capture (or newer WDM drivers if you have a v8xxx/v9xxx card)

Use the HuffYUV codec (it's lossless)

http://math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/huffyuv.html

Later encode using divx/xvid or whatever
for sound use ogg (find out how to do that yourself)

again.
Don't use the ASUS Live software under XP or 2K. It only works under 98. The Asus VCR isn't that good either. Use the VCR by Ivan Uskov I suggested to get better results.

If you still have trouble after intalling the software I suggested let me know.

good luck getting stuff to work
