James C. Allison:
Hey Richard, how are you this morning?
The problem that I'm trying to solve here is that when I try to use Matrox
Media Tools, it tells me that it cannot control the 1394 devices. And the
manual says that this is because the Device Manager has put them in
ImagingDevices, and MMT wants them in Audio/Video/Multimedia.

JC:
Well, I wouldn't care WHERE the 1394 sources were IF they worked, but they
won't and don't work with Matrox software.
Now I can still capture, and do all the stuff that Premiere does using the
Generic 1394 mode, BUT there are all kinds of stuff (real-time effects) that
the RT2500 makes available, with the precondition that it is done with the
Matrox Video Tools, of which Matrox Media Tools is a part (this is all the
"ProPack" that came with the RT2500).
RC:

JCA:
Dang!!! I hate it when I'm out of control! :)

JCA:
I agree... And last night I was "working" (I use that term in the sense that
I was making things go, not that I was doing anything productive), and I was
amazed at how much is working in the few days since I really started with
this last Saturday.
And you know something else... Much of the problems that I have encountered
has come from this dual monitor setup. No video stuff on the second
monitor... Like I did a capture, and in the process of messing with it, I
double clicked on the file name, and up came the "Windows Media Player", and
started playing the .avi file. Well, I was delighted with that! BUT when I
clicked on "full-screen" all the window frame graphics went away, and the
image went "full screen", which with the dual monitors meant that the left
side of the image was on the right side of the left monitor, and there was
NOTHING on the right monitor. The center of the video image was at the
extreme right side of the left monitor.
The only reason I got a dual monitor set up was that I got a great deal on
the Matrox Millennium G450 when I bought the RT2500... But not having it
would be no big deal.
Well, this is all just little stuff anyway. I'm going to just work past
this, and if in the future it somehow gets solved, then GREAT... If not,
that's alright too.
I appreciate your input, and you HAVE been very helpful.
Hope you are well.
