Hi Luke,

Just been trying out a BMD Extreme with Windows XP, WM Encoder 9.

The latest drivers from BMD do work and allow me to encode (at best) 25fps with analog, and 22fps with SDI input into a WM stream of 320×240 30fps (target) and an output stream of 320kbps.

Trying to do anything more with the card/drivers results in no video capture, a crash to WM Encoder or a very jerky stream.

This is all done on a P4 3.0Ghz with 512Mb of RAM, Windows XP Pro and a 100Mbit network ( direct to another PC ).

Appreciate some support from BMD to try and figure out if I should really be looking at a more conventional Windows capture card like the Osprey 560 or the Digital Rapids cards.

Thanks,
Andrew Wong
