SonicDennis,
Satish asked me to post a message on the forums. I hope I'm doing this right.
I have found a problem with his FrameServer plugin when used in a VideoFactory environment. If the plugin is installed in the correct location to enable its use from within VF (C:\Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Shared Plug-Ins\File Formats\PluginPac) it causes video capture to fail. That is, with the plugin installed, as soon as I attempt to 'Capture Video' or 'Capture Tape', VF returns with the pop-up form as if video capture is complete (with the message 'no video captured' or something to that effect).
Here's the test: I installed the Frameserver, with the result that two dll's were placed in the Windows/System32 directory and the plugin, dfscVegasOut.dll, in the above referenced location. Doing so causes video capture to fail. If I move dfscVegasOut.dll to any other location I can again capture video correctly, but, as you would expect, I cannot render to the FrameServer (is is not available in the drop-down list). I also checked to see if moving the dll's in the System32 directory made any difference and it did not. The problem only occurs when the dfscVegasOut.dll is placed in the 'C:\Program Files\Sonic Foundry\Shared Plug-Ins\File Formats\PluginPac' directory.
Satish asked that I post a message to you on the SoFo forums.
For completeness, I am running Windows XP Pro (no service packs), 512 MB RAM, 2 disks, the second one a 130GB disk used solely as my video capture disk, on a Dell Precision 220 Workstation with a 1GHz P3. I am also using the VideoFactory demo that I downloaded last week as I am waiting for my purchased copy to show up. I do not think the fact that I am using the demo version has anything to do with this since I can capture with no problems as long as the offending dll is not located in the PluginPac directory.
I do not want to post my email address here but Satish has that if you need it. I'll be glad to run any further tests to help nail down this issue, as fixing it would allow me to use TMPGEnc, which I would like to do.
