Osprey 100 card in Ulead

[desilew]

I want to capture analog video from my Hi8 camcorder and I have a Osprey 100 capture card that I bought a few years back, is this card supported in Ulead VS 10+?

Thanks

Easiest way to find out is to download the 30 day free trial and see if it works.
If you later decide to purchase the full version our forum recommends that you uninstall the trial version before installing the full version.

Thanks, I already own VS 10+ but was having a hard time capturing my analog video into the software.

It depends what format you are trying to capture in. The Osprey website, and other articles on the device, are very unclear as to exactly what format it can use. It seems clear that it can capture uncompressed AVI and apparently also Windows Media format WMV and (ugh) Real Video. But apart from those, the only reference I can find to formats it uses gives the following:

"Video Formats:

* Packed: RGB32, RGB24, RGB16, RGB15
* Grey8, YUV2 (4:2:2), YUV (4:1:1)
* Planar: YUV12, YUV9

Software Package includes:

* WDM and VFW interface, kernel driver, capture driver, documentation
* VidCap32 VFW Viewing Application
* SwiftCap DirectShow Viewing Application"
(See http://www.teamsolutions.co.uk/osprey/tsosp100.html )

I suspect that you may have to use the software which came with the device to capture, and then -- if it is in some recognisable format -- import it into VS10 for editing.

Thanks, I found I could use of all things Roxio to capture. It's their MPEG 2 encoder so I am happy that I can get it off the tape and into something which I can import and work on in Ulead VS 10+. Thanks to everyone for all your suggestion and help.
