I don't have a capture card, so I'm capturing video by pointing my camera at the TV screen (it's not for anything that requires better quality than that needed to see what's going on). I used to be able to open the video in VDM by using DirectShowSource, but that puts the PICVideo watermark on the vid, and since the camera captures at 320x240 it takes up a large chunk of the screen.
Now I can't open the file at all in VDM, though it plays alright in VLC. VDM can't determine the filetype if I open it directly, and using a script closes VDM with the 'this program has encountered an error and needs to close' error message.
