after i download & setup DirectX 8
-video capture update , i should see the VFWWDM capture & mapper .
for example in virtualdub i have only the Microsoft WDM image capture ( win 32 ) & nothing that connect to my Ati all in wonder radeon card ,
so what is it mean ?
Thanks

The drivers for the Radeon AIW cards do not support VFW capture. This is one reason I haven't gone any higher than my AIW 128. Here's a cut and paste from the ATI website:

RADEON
Video for Windows capture support has never been offered for RADEON products.

INFO-BASE file # 3749

... there's a section entitled '8/3/2001: ATI...' explaining how to capture from AIW Radeon in VirtualDub under Win2k.

( http://www.virtualdub.org/virtualdub_news_old.html ).

Also, the WDM-VfW wrapper files - http://shopgeo.virtualave.net/wrapper.zip - might be useful (mentioned in this article - http://www.vcdhelp.com/reviews/atiaiwradeon/aiwradeon.htm )

Thanks again ,
i'm running Windows XP & I saw that i allready have all that settings that r menssioned at those articles .
I allready have the WDM-VfW wrapper files ,
but steel when trying to use it with virtualdub , i'm getting only one of them :
Microsoft WDM image capture ( win 32 ).

Assuming the ATI driver setup is basically the same for the Radeon as my AIW128Pro under Win2k (with the latest 'XP compatible' WDM only capture drivers), 'Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)' is what I get on the bottom of the 'Video' menu in VirtualDub - select this first.

Then select 'Source' from the menu and you should get a dialog box with 'select a video device' in it - 'ATI Rage Theater Video Capture' should be one of the selections - select this.

I used to have win98se and when trying to use the mapper, I found that I had to run the ati tv progam once first before running virtualdub. for some reason this seemed to activate the wrapper.
