DirectShow Audio Capture Filter Doesn't Display Common Capture Devices
Avermedia makes a number of affordable (around $100) capture cards that allow for high quality (720p or better) capture from HDMI sources. This is super useful for various PVR and home theater setups.
I have the AVerMedia AVerTV HD DVR MTVHDDVRR C027, also known as the DarkCrystal HD Capture Pro C027. With a little tweaking, HDCP sources can also be captured.
The problem is what while the Directshow component of VLC shows the video device, it does not show up in the audio device list so there is no sound. Other applications, like VirtualDub, have no trouble capturing from this device.
I'll be happy to send (for you to keep) a new capture card for whoever is going to work on this bug so you could make the necessary modifications to DirectShow in VLC. Or, if you prefer, provide remote access to Windows 7 machine with the card installed.
Have a look at the attachment to see what's missing.
