I know some of you use Compuhost, I'm having a problem with my video capture device. While in Compuhost, everytime I switch from internal to external, it will only work the first time, when I switch back to internal, the next time I switch to external,I GET NOTHING.
So if I CLOSE OUT of Compuhost, turn on the device from it's icon, go back into Compuhost, IT WORKS when I switch to external. Sooo!!! I contacted Compuhost, and they told me that my capture device is PROBABLY not WDM compatable, and suggested I buy a usb capture device from Newegg, that they said many of their customers suggested. Since I ALREADY have so many things plugged into my usb ports, I was HOPING someone here would know of a PCMCIA video capture device that is DEFINATELY WDM compatable. Maybe someone is using one with Compuhost?
Maybe???

Thanks for ANY HELP!!

I've read about numerous intermitent issues regarding the PCMCIA interface, although none regarding video capture devices per se. Anyway, I've been using a USB Dazzle with great success, however I seem to remember reading that it has been discontinued. I got mine from BestBuy.

Another possibility would be to use a USB Hub, if possible self powered.

I use this one here:

It's small, compact, has 4 Ports and does the job.

Well guys, I received an answer from Compuhost, telling me that they cannot recommend a specific PCMCIA capture device that is compatable, so it looka like I'll take their advice on the USB device they suggested. I already have a USB hub, so I guess that I'll just add ANOTHER item to the hub.

Thanks for ALL of yuor help.
