Well I am trying to broadcast on Justin.Tv site and i have too use Adobe Flash Media Encoder but i can not use the Dazzle DVC 170 Platinum because Dazzle DVC 170 Platinum output streams in MPEG format and Adobe Flash Media Encoder would expect a Raw Stream so its not compatible with the application. I know a kid on the site Justin.Tv where I wan't to broadcast and he uses the Dazzle 100 and he is also running XP on his computer and I am running vista. I was thinking i could just go buy a dazzle 100 for my computer and then i could broadcast but I was wondering if it would work for me because i thought maybe its because of the driver for the Dazzle DVC 170 Platinum i had to download for vista. So i asked him what driver he is using and he said he is using the drivers that came with the disks so would the (Dazzle 100) work for me even thought im using vista or is the reason the (Dazzle DVC 170 Platiunum) isn't working is because of the vista patch?

MPEG encoding is embedded on the DVC 170 and is using the same driver as the DVC 100 in Vista. What kind of video does your software supports?

 

How do i figure out what video it supports? And i was saying if i didnt have vista would my Dazzle DVC 170 work for the broadcasting site?

This site is for live broadcast. Are you planning to connect a Hi-8 camera to our Dazzle so Adobe can use it to broadcast live? IMHO, this would not work as it will not be detected as a valid device for live stream.

Dazzle are designed for capturing and not for broadcasting. But maybe, there are others who already tried this. Anybody else?

I asked the guy that is broadcasting with a Dazzle 100 and thats all he uses and it works for soem reason...

What analog device are you connecting with the DVC 170. I tried this myself and the site looks for a web camera.

Im using splitters and a double sided A/V cable for it. And when I select device i choose Dazzle DVC 170 and it says (Video Format Not Supported: Video Format provided by Video Capture Device is not supported by this application...

Oh and im a using an Xbox 360

I'm sorry I am not familiar with the software you are using but I found some things that may interest you.

Some software for streaming are looking for a video source and audio source. The chips on the device should be identified automatically by these software.

Looking at device manager entries for DVC 100, you will see two separate entries for video and audio drivers. Whereas, the DVC 170 only has one. This difference should not be a problem with our software. This is not a bug or whatsoever, but this is how they are designed.  Both should be working with Studio (have you tried capturing using Studio?).

If the site looks for a separate entry for audio and video, the DVC 170 would not be giving the format it asks for.  I am not recommending buying DVC 100 yet until we can figure out the actual pre-requisites of broadcasting at their site.

 

I can capture using studio its just i can't broadcast. I also appreciate the help

Anybody tried brodcasting via Justin?

How do broadcasting in this site work?

Broadcasting on the site works by Downloading Adobe Flash Media Encoder 2.5 then you Save your link of your broadcasting page to your desktop which it will turn it into an XML file which you open inside of FME.

I am finally finished with my experiment.  Thank you for patiently waiting. I tried both broadcasting and recording using DVC 170 and DVC 100. I also tried another old model of Dazzle.

DVC 100 is detected by Flash Media Encoder as a valid VIDEO and AUDIO source, either online or offline. But the DVC 170 is not.  My first assumption that this is due to how the drivers are installed and shows on the device manager was confirmed using another device that is supposed to have separate entry for Video and Audio.

Although this might not be the real reason as I have not tested the chipsets and the encoding yet, I was able to make the DVC 100 for broadcasting in this site using Flash Media Encoder in three different tests I did.

I still have to know if this is also the key in finding out why some Dazzle are not working with other Adobe software as well. But I will leave this to their engineering department.

 

 

So i can buy a dazzle 100 and it will work? Well thanks your awesome I appreciate all of this and hopefully i helped dazzle by telling you this.

Also since im using vista do i have to download the disks wierd too for the dazzle 100

As both DVC 100 and DVC 170 uses the same hardware driver installer. ( I have to correct myself. Not the same driver but the same driver installer), you don't probably need to install another driver.

You can purchase just the hardware by calling sales, since you already have Studio.

 

Pinned.

I bought the white dazzle cause they didnt have the 100 and the video works but not audio...
