I recently bought a COMPRO FM/TV Tuner/ Capture Card.
Everything works fine so far. I can switch between composite and TV mode just fine while running the supplied COMPRO software. However, when I am running yahoo messenger or another video conferencing software, it always broadcasts my TV on the web camera instead of my live composite video camera. I cannot locate a global setting to always use composite cable setting as default for broadcasting. Please advice. Thanks.
i dont know about a global setting but within the other programs you should be able to specify where you input stream comes from
i know with msn i was playing the feed from my kids microscope till i pointed it back to my usb camera ... seems like it defaults to the most recently installed capture device
ROW, its the same capture card that is a TV tuner card also. In yahoo, I have an option to set the camera source but there is no sub setting to toggle between the composite and tv.Quote:

Wihin the program shipped with the card, I can switch b/w tv and composite (where composite is the camera) but this setting doesn't persist in any other program (i.e. yahoo messenger)
so your running your video camera into the composite in on the capture card and you'd like to use this as a 'web cam' replacement?
srry ... i guess i just skimmed your first post
yes and I have done that before with my old capture card. I wanted a tv tuner/capture card combo but it will only broad cast the TV.Quote:
