There is a new version of the BDA sample available for download, this version should build the Graph much quicker than the old version, it also has a small bug fix for the menu.

Hi Guys,

This to let you know that I have tried the BDAsample with the V-Stream card (and drivers) that we will be bringing into the country shortly and it worked first go, no problems at all.

It is smooth like silk!

Keep up the good work. What we need now is a decent application and and never have to rely on manufacturer's software ever again.

Cheers

Interesting news. Just don't get too excited we are still reliant on Microsoft :cry: :cry:

oops,

Forgot about that

Cheers

Renura

Better than being reliant on Twinham!!! :wink:

Too close to call...

Good to hear Renura.

I see the following needed to get the BDA drivers going (I can't do any as I am not a very good programmer. I always try to do programming but I am not as good as Nate, Shaun etc.) (in no particular order):
-Teletext Support (maybe an application that reads the teletext information)
-Captions support (similar to teletext support. Best to have teletext support in place first then add captions to DigitalWatch etc.)
-Channel Scanning - Good to see that you guys are getting some results in this
-DigitalWatch BDA Support

Just imagine, if the applications being done for BDA support are used for a multitude of cards.

I seem to have a lot of trouble compiling the BDA samples. Both with VS6 and VS.NET 2003.

With VS6 I get RTC related link errors.
With VS2003 I get ATL related link errors.

I tried to write a non-ATL version but it crashes.

null_pointer: What steps did you use to get it to compile?

Update: VS6 now compiles. I had to re-compile the strmbsd.lib with VS6. Would be nice to use non-ATL with VS2003, however.

Why would you want to use non-ALT, ALT gives you the cool CComPtr to play with.

I can not get VS .NET to compile it either, I will have to look at it a bit more but it should be doable.

Actually both the VS2003 and VS6 versions crash in debug mode (while tryng to connect the MPE filter), but run fine when the .exe is run from Windows.

I am also stuck with Channel 10, it doesn't seem to want to tune to anything else. Something's f#?%ed up. I'd like to be able to help you guys but I'm not having much luck.

Hi All

Did any one get this to compile under VS .Net 2003? I'm getting the linker errors like:

BDASample error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "long __stdcall ATL::AtlWinModuleInit(struct ATL::_ATL_WIN_MODULE70 *)" (?AtlWinModuleInit@ATL@@YGJPAU_ATL_WIN_MODULE70@1@@Z) referenced in function "public: __thiscall ATL::CAtlWinModule::CAtlWinModule(void)" (??0CAtlWinModule@ATL@@QAE@XZ)


Also, has anyone got BDACapture to work with the BDA drivers for the FusionHDTV card?

TIA

Yep, I had to add atlsd.lib to the list of dependencies (Project Settings->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies, add atlsd.lib to the end of the list). Twas the same for me with the original sample. Working like a charm now.

I'm new here BTW. Hi all!

Boxy.

Hi Boxy & welcome

Thanks a lot... it's compiled & linked a treat! Now if I could only get it to work with the Dvico BDA drivers!

Cheers jb007

hmm..seems the Links are down. Can someone please put them up?

I second DCoder's request...Please post an updated link! Thanks in advance!!

I haven't tried it with BDASample but there is no problem getting the Dvico BDA drivers working. It's just the standard DVB-T Network Provider => Tuner / Demod => Capture => Demux...... filter chain.

What doesn't seem to work is any attempt to load or use the Dvico decoder's in any app (including GraphEdit)

It's deliberate. They want them to be proprietry codecs, used only with DViCO software, I believe.

I understand it's deliberate. It's also very stupid . People are not going to respond favourably to attempted vendor lock in like this It only makes their products less appealing. It's not as though their application software is anything to write home about

Hi everybody,
It seem that subj has disappeared from location specified. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
Indy.

If you want to play with source code I suggest you download Nate's DigitalWatch BDA which has already gone way beyond the BDA Sample codebase. That was really only a very primitive starting point. Otherwise a ATSC version of it is still available in the Dx 9.0c SDK download from Microsoft.

Thanks, JoeyBloggs.
Actually I'm looking for modified MS sample which can work with DVBT. But what about subj?...Have you managed to download it?

HI,

Has anyone got a link to this BDA sample ???

I have been using the ATSC example from the SDK and am not getting anywhere.. am hoping this sample is just the same but using DVBT...

anyone ???

Ignition.

I've still got a copy from the 17/04/04. Just PM me a non google, hotmail, yahoo etc email address if you want it. I will be happy to send it to you.

thanks guys.... got the copy now.....

Dear all:
can you send me one copy "BDA Sample Ver-02.zip"? my mail address is shinsonyang@hotmail.com. I do not know why I can not download such file from the URL.

thanks
shinson Yang
