Hello, I'm new to UFOCapture and I'm excited to find such software!

I have a problem with my usb camera. The camera is a DMK 21AU04 which I mostly use for my hobby of astrophotography, but has a BW quite sensitive cd sensor.

While for a couple of days it worked fine, now it just hangs on 'activating' and only shows a black screen. My other usb camera (philips toucam) works fine with UfoCapture. Also the DMK camera works fine with other applcications and I've also tested it with 'Windows movie maker'.

I tried re-registering the filters, deleting the Settings.ufi file, deleting the keys from registry (in case I misconfigured something while trying settings) but I can't make it to work. My Os is windows XP.

Do you have any suggestions ??

Thanks in advance,
Petros

Hello Petros
Welcome.

I am not sure about what is happening on your machine. It sounds like a mystery.
"hangs on 'activating'" can only happen when the initiating of the device succeeded but the video stream does not begin.
If once it worked well, but now it does not work, there must be something changed.
Most probable matter is the change of settings. Check following settings.
1. Input sheet, "Video" device name (DMK...)
2. Input sheet, "Audio" device name (NULL)
3. Input sheet, "Size Xi,Yi" (640,480)
4. Input sheet, "Codec" (AVI)
5. Input sheet, "Fps" (30.000 or 60.000)
6. DB sheet "DB dir" (appropriately assigned as existing folder)
7. Push Input sheet "set" button , right hand of "Video" device name, while activating or previewing
and check the parameters inside of profile sheet of your camera.

By the way, If your target is meteors, I recommend to use Watec 902H2Ultimate and analog capture equipments.
It has far better sensitivity compared with my DMK31AF03AS. It captures meteors almost 10 times of DMK.

Thanks a lot,
It must have been one of these settings because now its working fine again.

I've read that the watec camera is ideal, very sensitive with low noise. For now I'll just try the DMk and see how it goes Smile

Thanks again for your reply.
