Periferica Video USB #3 Driver

  1. When I open Magix Video Easy the driver doesn't show, only the webcam driver shows, and I can only capture the audio from the camcorder. I'm running windows vista SP2 32bit. Anyone came across this problem?
  2. Important Note for Laptop and All-In-One (AIO) PCs. AMD recommends OEM-provided drivers which are customized and validated for their system-specific features and optimizations.
  3. Roxio Video Capture Usb free download - Webcam Video Capture, Easy Video Capture, Roxio Creator, and many more programs.

If you are providing a driver for a webcam or a digital camcorder, consider using the system-supplied universal serial bus (USB) Video Class driver, Usbvideo.sys. The USB Video Class (UVC) driver is a Microsoft-provided AVStream minidriver that provides driver support for USB Video Class devices. When your device uses UVC, you do not need to supply your own driver. Instead, the device works automatically with the system-supplied driver.

In the USB Video Class model, vendors do not write drivers; instead, vendors implement video streaming hardware according to the guidelines in the Universal Serial Bus Device Class Definition for Video Devices Specification document located on the USB Implementers Forum website. The UVC driver queries the hardware directly to obtain its capabilities and then drives the device, with no proprietary driver required.

. USB Capture Utility V3 is a software tool for USB Capture Family and USB Capture Plus devices. Improve the end-user visual experience for display scaling. The software will scale to the right size to show the full size of user interface if the system scales up too much.

You can optionally extend UVC driver functionality to add vendor-specific processing.

The following table shows support for UVC in different versions of Windows:

UVC VersionWindows Vista/XPWindows 7Windows 8
USB Video Class 1.5 (H.264 video codec)Not supportedNot supportedSupported
USB Video Class 1.1Not supportedSupportedSupported
USB Video Class 1.0SupportedSupportedSupported

Beginning with Windows 8, the H.264 video codec (encoder/decoder) is supported. H.264 is an open standard that allows efficient video compression techniques for reducing the use of network bandwidth and storage space. This leads to a higher video quality for a given bit rate. For more information, see USB H.264 Video Cameras Support. Also refer to Microsoft Proposed Extensions to the USB Video Class for H.264.

Customizing the UVC Driver

You can customize your support for UVC by supplying an Extension Unit plug-in. Extension units provide a private control channel between device and vendor-supplied application.
