Summary: Dscalers and latest wdm drivers 5.3.0

Initial Comment:
The latest wdm drivers 5.3.0 from Eduardo José Tagle 
offers so many attractive features but I was sadly 
surprised when after installation of these drivers DScaler 
310; 312 and 400...all would just freeze the operating 
system. I had to reboot after every trial of these versions.
upon contacting Eduardo, I got the following comments 
from him:

"The Dscaler problem is caused by Dscaler itself... It 
assumes total control of the card, but this is not true... 
Specially with btwincap. 
This will be fixed in Dscaler 4.0, that simply uses 
btwincap instead of  trying to access the hardware 
directly."

But in my case DScaler 400 also suffered from the 
same problem.

Details of my system:
Windows XP-Home
Pixelview PlayTV Pro card

Looking forward to a solution,


fundom

Michael,
Be sure to set the include directories correct. This is explained in the file READ_ME_FIRST_NOW.txt which comes with the source code. 
Note that this explanation is only valid if you compile DScaler without direct show support (comment '#define WANT_DSHOW_SUPPORT 1' in stdafx.h).
I recommend trying to compile without direct show support first. 

This is what I did to get direct show support working: (please note that the required downloads are big, I don't remember exact but I guess about 200-300MB)
***********************************************
Download and install the following from the Platform SDK,
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/ )
- Core. I am not really sure if this is needed. Try without downloading this first, this might save a huge download.
- Directx SDK
- Internet Development SDK (for files xmld??.idl)

Add \Microsoft SDK\Include\prerelease folder at the top of the include directories.
Add \Microsoft SDK\lib\prerelease folder at the top of the lib directories.

Checkout the DSRend project from CVS.
Build the DSRend project (to generate dsrend.h)

Switch to the DScaler project, open stdafx.h and uncomment the line that
defines WANT_DSHOW_SUPPORT.
Now the DScaler project should compile with dshow support.

Hi,
earlier versions gave the same problem here, locked up my 
system (WinXP Flyvideo98 Asus A7).

With 5.3.0 the sytem started to work but still prone to errors.

But looks promising...

Am going crazy trying to get Dscaler to compile.
Got latests DDks etc, getting closer..

Have the following error message
"\DScaler\Plugins\DI_Bob\DI_Bob.c(120) : error C2400: inline 
assembler syntax error in 'opcode'; found 'xmm0' "

Would love to know how to fix this, searched the web and 
scrounged around for hours,, with no luck

hope someone has the time to respond, I appreciate the great 
effort your team is making with this project.
Regards Michael Joubert.
