Matrox Driver Installation Instructions don't seem to work! Am I missing something?
James C. Allison:
I have the following system: IW-Q500N-ATX FullTower Tyan Trinity i845-S2090 ATX Mainboard w/Intel i845 Chipset Single Pentium IV 1.8GHz Processor 1.5 Gb SDRAM (3 512 Mb DIMMs) Matrox G450 Millennium Dual-Head Graphics Card Matrox RT2500 Video Capture Card Creative Technoloby Ltd., Audigy MP3+ Sound Card M-Audio Delta 1010LT Sound Card 18 Gb Seagate Cheetah SCSI 10K RPM Hard Drive (System Drive) 36 Gb Seagate Cheetah SCSI 10K RPM Hard Drive (A/V Editing) 120 Gb Western Digital IDE 7.2K RPM Hard Drive (Capture Storage) 120 Gb Western Digital IDE 7.2K RPM Hard Drive (Master Edit Storage) Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller Dual Adaptec 2940 SCSI Cards Two 19" IDP Monitors Sony DVD-CD Burner 1.44 Mb Diskette Drive Digital KB 5923REV-B01 106-key KeyBoard Genius EasyMouse+ PS2 Supra Express 56K External Modem Panasonic AG-DVC10P Proline 3 CCD CamCorder w/IEEE1394 JVC HR-DVS2U Mini-DV/S-VHS VCR JVC DR-MH30S/ DVD & HDD Video Recorder (160 GB HDD) PK Electronics 500VA Blackout Buster UPS Windows 2000 Professional w/ Service Pack 2 Adobe Premiere 6.0 Realtime Effects Matrox Video for Windows AVI Files Matrox Media Tools Inscriber Title Express Sonic Foundry ACID Music Professional 5.0 Sonic Solutions DVDit! LE All attendant cables, wires, boxes, and remotes. ========= And here is a problem that I am having. I can "capture" from a MiniDV CassetteDeck using Adobe Premiere 6.0, and have access to all the AP6.0 stuff. BUT I also have the Matrox Video Tools software, which came bundled with the Matrox RT2500, and it has a LOT more stuff available. BUT the Matrox stuff won't work because: Win2K keeps classifying my MiniDV Cassette Deck as an "Imaging Device" in the "Device Manager", and Matrox requires that the MiniDV Cassette Deck be classified as "Sound, video and game controllers". And so solve this problem, the Matrox RT2500 User's Guide says to do the following: ======= Problem: DV Device shows up as "Imaging device". Windows "Device Manager" may recognize your DV device as an "Imaging device". Solution: You'll have to remove your DV device as an "Imaging device" and re-install the drivers. To re-install the device driver in Windows 2000: 1. Turn on your DV-1394 device. 2. Right-click on "My Computer". 3. Select "Manage". 4. Select "Device Manager". 5. Click the plus sign beside "Imaging devices". 6. Right-click "Microsoft DV Camera and VCR". 7. A message will appear about uninstalling the device, click "OK". 8. Choose "Action" "Scan for hardware changes". 9. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" starts. Click "Next". 10. Select "Search for a suitable driver for my device (recommended)", click "Next". 11. Under "Optional search locations" make sure nothing is selected and click "Next". 12. Windows will automatically find the "c:winnt\inf\dvcam.inf" driver file. Click "Next". 13. Click "Yes" to continue. 14. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" dialog box will appear. You how have the proper driver installed. Click "Finish" to exit. 15. Your DV device should now be listed under "Sound, video and game controllers" in your "Device manager". Seems simple enough, right? Wrong... Everything up to Number 8 works as shown. From Number 9 on there is not any of the choices shown. The Wizard goes ahead and installs the MiniDV Cassette Deck back into "Imaging devices" in "Device Manager" just like it was before! Am I missing something? Any ideas? Any input would be genuinely appreciated. Hope that this finds you all doing well.

Matrox Driver Installation Instructions don't seem to work! Am I missing something?
Hello,
the problem is discussed in the Matrox RT2500 forum (look there for it). Basically, you have to delete the occurrences of Microsoft DV driver (something like MSdv.inf and MSdv.sys) from system32 filder and Inf folder. After that, just run the steps from 1 to 15 again. Fact is that RT2500 works only with Texas DV driver (obosolete), not with Microsoft drivers. Good Luck Mario "~~~AllisonWonderland~~~" ha scritto nel messaggio ... James C.
