Applications and Troubleshooting
You might experience some issues in the tested applications. Here are the procedures
how to resolve them.
GraphEdit
In GraphEdit insert the filter of the device (usually UFG-05 Channel) to the graph.
Right click on the single pin and choose render. Start the graph with the play button.
If you want to preview with a custom format, disconnect the graph by clicking on the
arrow coming out of the UFG-05 filter and pressing the Del key. Right click on the filter
and set the appropriate Override Resolution or Override FPS checkbox with the format.
Press OK and reconnect the graph.
If the picture appears upside down follow the previous steps but try to check also the
Flip Vert.
checkbox
AmCap
AmCap is a sample capture application of Windows
If you want to capture to a different resolution than the default, open the
FG Properties
window, check
Override Resolution
and select the desired format. To apply this setting
to the preview window open the
Video Capture Pin…
dialog and press Cancel.
If you use the
Override FPS
function in AmCap you cannot set the frame rate in the
Capture/Set Frame rate menu.
If you experience issues with the AmCap.exe in Windows SDK (Vista Build 6000)
please use the application from the previous releases of Windows Platform SDK
Windows Media Encoder
Windows Media Encoder is a standard reference application for DirectShow. There are
no known issues with the use of UFG-05 with WME.
Please note that WME is very sensitive to CPU performance. When storing to *.wmv
file format this might be the bottleneck
VirtualDUB
VirtualDUB is a freeware video capture software application originally written to
capture Video for Windows sources. The recent versions are already compatible with
DirectShow. The tested and proposed version is 1.6.16.
VirtualDUB normally cannot accept top-down RGB images which are default in UFG-
05 for performance reasons. To avoid this open the menu
Video
>
Set Custom Format
and set the Use Custom Size fields to for example 640x480 instead of the default
values.
Some VirtualDUB codecs have problems when using with UFG-05 output streams.
