Neil Stratton Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Hi all-does anyone know if you can get just the driver for the BlackMagic cards and not the Desktopvideo package that you receive with the cards? i have a Decklink SDI and what is happening is this: When I install the DesktopVideo app v9.1 I am then unable to play .mov files. I get an error message : If I uninstall the app it plays fine. When I reinstall the app it works for a while but then stops. I am truly puzzled. Thanks in advance Neil Stratton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas Dannert Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Neil, This is NOT possible, as far as I know. And .mov is NOT a specific file format, it's a container format. Depending on which codec is used inside, you can have various issues. Are these files PhotoJPEG/MotionJPEG? If so, see this discussion: http://dataton.com/forum/topic/345-how-best-to-cut-and-recode-5184x876-mov/page__view__findpost__p__1132 Still, the preferred/recommended file formats for WATCHOUT is: MPEG-2, WMV-9 and H264 (.mp4), with separate audio, as.wav Keep within these boundaries, and you will have less issues. http://dataton.com/forum/topic/288-mpeg-settings/page__p__943#entry943 /jonas 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Stratton Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 Hi Jonas-thanks for that.The files were PhotoJpeg. They were stock footage that I had added at the last minute on a show where I didnt have time to encode them as Mpeg 2 or H264. When I came to look at how my system handled the Decklink card I just used my old show as it was already loaded. Although they had originally played without issue, they wouldnt once the BlackMagic driver was installed. Shame about the lack of standalone driver.Tip for others who install the Desktop Video App-check your startup in msconfig as it throws 3 items in there. Once again thanks for your help Neil 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
