Cannot install ATI MMC for AIW X1900?

[Spenders_McGee]

Hello!

I have an AIW X1900 installed in an XP-based system. I wish to use the card for video capture, and I believe MMC is required for this, even if I use VirtualDub? Will happily be corrected if I am wrong.

I have successfully installed all required ATI software except MMC, which refuses to install. It gets through extracting the installation files, and then nothing happens. I've attempted to install multiple different versions of the program, from 9.13 to 9.16 (which I believe are the ones for use with this card), all of which fail. Or at least, the files labelled "ENU" fail; the files labelled "UCI" install just fine. I'm not sure what, if anything, I'm doing wrong. The card is not detected as a capture device in VirtualDub either, so if MMC is not required, there seems to be something I'm missing there too.

Any thoughts or advice are appreciated!

x1900 card requires MMC 9.1.x, which lacks a dropped frame counter, so MMC isn't suggested for the PCIe cards. You need to use VirtualDub 1.9.x, and capture lossless.

The PCIe cards are worth less for MPEG capturing, and ATI MMC is mostly for MPEG capturing. (It can do AVI, but VirtualDub has less resource overhead.)

Fair enough, I have a bit of previous experience with VirtualDub anyway, so that works out.

Is there anything in particular I should be doing to get VirtualDub to detect the card?


Wrote the above before remembering that I hadn't read the guide for capture in VirtualDub. Will see if I still require assistance after that.

Ok, yeah, I'm at a bit of a loss. VirtualDub doesn't think that the AIW card exists, so can't use it. Is MMC required to be installed to perform any capture at all? If not, what should I do to ensure that VirtualDub detects the card?

I not remember exactly which driver installed, but the following is the list of file that I used for capturing with VDub and ATI X1900 Pci-e.
Probably, for just VDub use, the two "legacy" driver will be enough.

Hello. I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve it in the end?

Unfortunately, no. I already had all of the software installed that enois mentioned -- no dice.

The X1900 works fine as a display adapter, and as is in the screenshot, is detected perfectly well by Windows. But VirtualDub doesn't detect anything, and iuVCR and VirtualVCR outright say that I don't have a capture device installed, which is very confusing.

Any thoughts, members?

I'm also still bewildered that MMC just won't install at all. As LordSmurf suggested, I won't use it, but it seems very weird to me that it won't install when it should.

I solved my problem, although not completely. I have two video cards installed, MSI 2070Super and ATI AIW x1900. In order for the t200 chip to appear in the device manager, I had to turn off the power from the MSI card so that it would not turn on when the computer started and its bios would not load. MMC installer must "see" the devid of t200 chip to work properly.

When I bought a pci-e card, I knew that there might be problems with the drivers, but I did not want to build another computer with an agp or pci slot. Damn, I never thought that I would spend more than a week just installing drivers

[Spenders_McGee]

Hm. This could very easily be my problem also, as I have a Quadro in the system as well. I am intending to build a system specifically for digitisation so I don't run into this issue, but I wanted to be able to digitise before I'm in a position to do that.

[Spenders_McGee]

ST332's solution of removing the other video card almost completely worked for me. Or more accurately, worked more than anything else has.

MMC was able to install (not that I'll be using it, was just testing it), and Windows and VirtualDub both detect the T200 chipset. Yay!

However, despite uninstalling and reinstalling everything again, the T200 chipset doesn't work. Device manager lists it as failing to start, despite its driver being installed.

So once again (cue Bernie Sanders meme), I must ask for your support, as I've already followed everything that the rest of the internet has suggested for the new problem.

First of all. Windows XP x86. I have bsod on x64 after installing WDM driver.

All operations with one video card in mainboard: x1900

Install net framework and directx

There is the original x1900 CD with drivers in this forum, try to find it. It will install all what you need in the right order.
Or you can install the latest versions of software. Try to install it in this order:

77472 10-2_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc.exe
21836 10-2_legacy_xp32-64_wdm.exe
11708 6-12_xcode_38463.exe
1828 6-6_encoder_33678.exe
41936 9-14_mmc_uci.exe
27900 9-14_mmc_enu.exe
13752 9-14_mmc_euro1.exe
27380 9-16_mmc_enu.exe
13800 9-16_mmc_euro1.exe

Uninstall all drivers of T200 and x1900 before you try
