Spigot Power AV Problems

Author	Topic
SiliconValleyPirate Junior Member United Kingdom 273 Posts	Posted - 06 Jun 2002 : 10:28:30 I can't get my new Spigot PowerAV to work. It's new out of the box/wrapping/antistatic bag etc. and was still sealed when I got it so I severely doubt the card is dead. Whenever I load up Mac OS with the extension there is no evidence it has gailed to load, yet the Spigot PowerAV Player app says it hasn't loaded ("can not open export component, Spigot POwer AV extension may not be loaded"). I'm perplexed. I tried 8.1 and 7.6 and even downgraded to Quicktime 1.6.3. I suspect my problem is I only have v1.0 of the drivers. Maybe cinemo or one of you other guys can shed some light on my situation. BTW I can't go earlier than 7.6.0 as I have an FWB RAID 0 array on my Jackhammer (also newly installed and going like a train ) adn it doesn't load in 7.5.5 (I don' t have the FWB RTK extension installed, does that help??). -- Mark Benson Visit FlatPackMacs Online http://fpm.gotdns.com We have feets Wooohoo!

I'm guessing that's it's probably an extention and/or QuickTime conflict, though. I'll have to check some stuff out and get back you! Glad to hear the RAID is purring! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 I Have No Legs!

I spent 4 days swearingand getting dispondant repeatedly and now I find it was just becuase the video sub-system doesn't play through NuBus video cards and so if there is nothing on the AV Ports _or_ the monitor port it assumes you don't want to use the video function and diables the Spigot AV Extension. Now I have it working in 7.6 I have a different dilema. I am using Avid Video Shop 3.0.1 (came with my 630's TV Kit) but it doesn't want to recognise the video input. I open the Recording window and it doesn't show any video picture. I select "Video Settings" from the "Recording" menu and it doesn't open the dialog, it jst turns the video off. I tried QT 2.1 instead of 2.5 and now it just instantly shoots up a dialog that says either the disk or RAM is full when it's lying, I have 17GB free space fer gads sakes! I am at my wits end. At least the card wasn't DOA, I had to get it shipped to me via a friend in Michigan so I think returning it would have been a little tricky! -- Mark Benson FlatPackMacs http://fpm.gotdns.com 2nd Lieutenant - 68kMLA LC Quartermaster Flat Packing Macs for 68k MLA airlift excercises Macs Liberated = 14!

Sorry, I should have told you that!!!! My Spigot AV didn't work off a Nubus video card, either, then I RTFM and realized you have to use onboard video, too. I completely forgot about it! quote: I am using Avid Video Shop 3.0.1 (came with my 630's TV Kit) but it doesn't want to recognise the video input. I'm almost positive that AVS doesn't work with the Spigot Pro. Do yourself a favor and just throw AVS out the window, it's useless! Get Premiere 4.x and you should be fine. It's on Quadra's hotline server! 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 I Have No Legs! Edited by - cinemafia on 11 Jun 2002 13:36:58
