my remote control doesn't work with video studio?

Post by pedromenba »

I have the DUB-t210 DLink video capture card, I am trying to change the channels with my remote control, but I can't. I have VS9 , so my question is :
When I am using any kind of video capture card, is it just possible to change the channels with the VS and not with the remote control?
Someone has had the same problem.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Pedro -- I don't think that is possible. And I would have to ask anyway: why would it be possible? Video Studio is essentially a video editing program, not a TV control program. Yes, it will of course capture from your TV card. And it also allows you to change channels manually with the arrows on the capture page when you have selected your TV card as the capture source. But that is all it should be expected to do. There are, after all, many different brands and types of TV cards out there, and it is a bit much to expect Ulead could include software to control all these beyond the basic functions.

I have a Winfast DV2000 TV/capture card which comes with a remote control. It never occurred to me to think the remote control should be able to work with Video Studio (though I have now tried it, and found that as I expected, it does not work). The TV card, after all, comes with its own software and the remote control is clearly made to work via that. Similarly with the control which allows you to tune in stations. That is the function of the card's software, and not properly a function which Video Studio should be expected to perform. Instead, as it does, it simply takes the stations which the card's software has already found and tuned in.

I should add, though, that I would be more than happy to be proved wrong in any of this... :roll: :roll:
