i've noticed discussion of this topic recently, but have been unable to work through this problem as of yet with the advice already posted.

i have 12 security cameras attached to a windowsxp machine through pci cards (4 channels per card, directx mpeg4). the software bundled with the cards allows me to preview/record all cameras. i assume that all drivers are properly installed because of this. trying to view through jt.dx.grab object example does not work.

could not create class enumerator for requested type

as a newbie, are there obvious steps i need to take that i'm overlooking or other possible solutions?

how do i get jitter to recognize the existence of these cameras?

error messages include:  
could not create class enumerator for requested type
could not add capture filter to graph
could not create video channel -9405
error opening device for grab

appreciate any thoughts or insights

First off you should make sure that windows recognizes each camera input

(thus 4 per card) as a separate device. If that is not the case u might have

trouble connecting a jit.dx.grab to all twelve of them.

What do you get when you try 'getvdevlist' on the jit.dx.grab object? You

can try this by checking out the help patch of the jit.dx.grab object.

yes please, which card is it exactly. i have a project coming and i

would like to know if this is a valid multicapture path.

if all else fails, i had success with using 4 cheapo bt787 cards. if

you have the pci space.

thank you for taking the time to help me out.

the cards are the 4-channel dvr/pci from q-see (limited, but cheap)

sending the getdevlist within the help patch does not bring up any list of available cameras.

wondering, if this message is specifically looking for hardware on usb/ieee1394 bus? can you point/send this message elsewhere? or is it very general and if it doen't list it, game over?

not sure how to do this. the software with the card allows me to preview all attached cameras and record these feeds to disk. how it handles this, i'm (obviously) unsure.

reason for me going down this path with jitter is to deal with live feed and process in real time

sending the getdevlist within the help patch does not bring up any list of available cameras.

The message actually works for any DirectX compatible device, as long as I

use it. So the problem is very probably that you did not have the driver for

directX be installed properly. Check with your hardware manufactuarer

The message actually works for any DirectX compatible device, as long as I

directX be installed properly. Check with your hardware manufactuarer
for it.

I would also try contacting the manufacturer of your pci cards and ask them

for a directx wmi driver for your capture cards. As long as you're not

seeing them listed in your 'control panel>system>hardware>device manager' as

capturing devices i'm afraid you might have trouble connecting to them. So

And its not max's or jitter's problem, but a driver issue.

You might also try out the jit.qt.grab object, maybe that gives more result;

however, i'm running winxp also and i had less trouble using jit.dx.grabthan

jit.qt.grab, since the quicktime object requires WinVDIG and a full

installation of quicktime. If you're not sure how to get jit.qt.grab to

work, just search the forum for it and you'll find more than plenty results.

As a summary i'd like to conclude with the fact that you will definitely

need the devices (capture card inputs) listed in your device list using

it really is a software issue.

need the devices (capture card inputs) listed in your device list using
getvdevlist, before you can go on.
