Re: WMP will not play mpeg files captured with PixelView Video Capture Card


I haven't used this card so could not speak to it. My primary interest
right now is in seeing if I can help with the crash you're encountering.
What are the fault details for that crash? That may be the easiest aspect
of this to resolve.
