Here is what was posted in another group;
here is ATI's statement about VfW:
A4: Due to restrictions placed on all graphics vendors by Microsoft®, the following features are not included on the Windows® Me CD. [...] Support for Video for Windows® (VfW) video capture, needed for the TV feature of existing ALL-IN-WONDER® product family
(from the ATI's WinME FAQ)
This is also true for Win2000! There is a VfW to WDM emulation, but it seems to refuse work with some (or a lot) of today's software.
Because WinME and Win98 drivers are the same, you see there will be no VfW support in Win98.
THIS IS PURE BS from a company that has no balls standing up to M$
If you want support for VfW buy the Asus 7800 GForce 2 because IT supports VfW. How sick and twisted is that, and for me to be able to use netmeeting today and not in 8 months from now and even though I have an AIW-Radeon, I have to buy either an TV-Wonder or a HypergaugeTV or whatever it's called. As of this day, hardly ANY software supports directshow, and directshow is full of bugs and doesnt work properly.
I looked in my archive box of useless hardware and found my $50 Lotitech (then Connectix) Quickclip usb that I purchased 3 years ago for me in order to use NetMeeting and CuSeeme today.
LMAO I have an (apparently) state of the art high tech AIW blunder capture card that I paid over $385Cdn, however for me to be able to use the most popular collaboration sharing software on the market today like NetMeeting, VDOphone and CuSeeme, I have to use a 3 year old card that was then worth $50 a cheap POS capture card that I can't even get $5 for today.
Talk about an brain dead All in Wonder Blunder of giant proportions. Thanks M$ and Specially ATi for having NO balls to stand up to them. It's time I return this defective lame video card for a full refund. Talk about screwing the consumer.
