I am a high school teacher with a problem! I am using a Dell 486DX2 66 with 16 meg of ram and have a Cardinal video capture board with Reeltime video capture software. However, I would prefer to use Video for Windows 1.0 to do the motion capture. The problem arises whenever my students use the VFW software. Everything is set up, the IRQs are correct, Vidcap is selected and the process begins. However, after the designated frames have past, we get the message: "Warning. No Frames Captured. Confirm that vertical sync interrupts are configured and enabled." We have called all over the place looking for a solution to this problem. Cardinal upgraded the chip on the board, and Microsoft did not really have any answer. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jim, I saw your message about the vertical sync error. I got that one too, it turned out to be a interrupt conflict with my Turtle Beach audio board which I was using to capture the audio portion of the clips. When I set the TB interrupt to a different one, it worked great. I am using the Matrox Marvel II video capture board so I do not know if that makes a difference or not. Dean
