Likely it only recognizes certain types of DShow devices and streams. If Hauppauge PVR-500 has a hardware encoder, it makes it a more-specific DShow source.
Decklink is semi-specific itself because it's a capture card.
Don't be so quick to label things. Some might've argued that the first computers were useless, but they kept working on them. If they had just quit, we wouldn't be where we are today (which is both good and bad).

On my system I have a Decklink Extreme, an Hauppauge PVR-500 and a WebCam and Edius only shows the WebCam...
Isn't it a little bit useless??Leave a comment:

I actually don't have any devices here that I can play with and write about, but if I get some time (and hardware), I'd like to document this feature in a "How To".
I'd be interested in knowing if the people running v4.51 on iMacs or MacBook Pros can (under Windows of course), get the inbuilt camera working with EDIUS.Leave a comment:

DirectShow Device - Incomplete?
How does one select/change parameters on a multi purpose DirectShow device?
I have an analog video / TV tuner card and I can’t find a way to select inputs (S-vid vs. composite. vs. tuner + channels). All DirectShow devices have ‘Settings’ dialogs build into the drivers, so I think someone just forgot to include a button to call up the dialog. Otherwise, on devices like a web cams it works great (no need to adjust anything there).
The only other odd thing I noticed is that for each video device if you have audio source selected to ‘Not assigned’ that video device will not show in the ‘Capture’ drop-down menu.Tags: None
