Crushed dreams

And just like that, my dreams have been crushed. Spiffy video card doesn't look like he wants to capture video. The short story:

Apparently nVidia doesn't include the video input part of the driver in the default driver package, it's a seperate download and install. A few vocabs: VIVO (Video in / Video out), WDM (Windows driver model?). nVidia offers seperate WDM drivers for video capture. Unfortunately I suffer from an error that a large part of the community shares, error: "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" After installing the drivers, this appears on one of the capture devices. Sure enough, when I start windows movie maker or, more importantly, my testbed c# program... I get a nasty error.

It's much past my bedtime at this point, so I'll take this up another time.
