Image Capture for Hauppauge WinTV Card and Star Light B/W Video Camera

Yes, other than the Hauppauge software, is there any 'astro' oriented software for
the equipment in the Subject line? Particularly any oriented towards meteor work?

Hi:

I don't know about meteor work, but depending on the format of your card's .avi
files, K3CCD Tools may work--and _man_ is it a great program!

I downloaded the program and installed it, but I immediately got an error message to
the effect that the video format was not supported for preview analyse. What's that
about? I then looked at the camera dialog and noticed a pull down menu for various
ports. I clicked the checkbox next to the menu and was able to see about 10-15 ports.
None of them corresponded to my video card--I guess. They were all com ports or
parallel ports. I'm using a WinTV Hauppauge card. Any idea what to do? I see there's
a choice between tuner and composite. Choosing tuner seems to make it all worse.

I'll take a look at the Haup site and see if they have any better documentation on
the WinTV card.
