The bea version fixed my webcam switching issue. I can go back and forth between the ATI cature card with Handicam and USB webcam now without a freezing up! So there is at least one undocumented fix in 1322. I could care less about Go Mobile! 🙂

I’ll take a look at the msvideo stuff. I’ve already been all over the registry before and looked at these values, but i’m not a MS video registry entry expert. My biggest gripe is “it WAS working before YIM 5.5”. Now I can’t find any previos version of YIM either so I can’t map what changed between versions! But I’ll live. At least I can get it to work.

I have a YIM 5.5 “bug” to report. Previous versions of YIM let me switch between Logitech Webcam and my ATI-All-In-Wonder captured Handicam. The latest build broke that functionality. I have spent a good hunk of time trouble shooting the issue. Multiple OS versions (Win98, Win2k), multiple ATI driver versions, multiple ATI control panel versions.

I’ve really worked the issue to the bone. What I ended up with was this. If I uninstall YIM and reinstall YIM I can get the Handicam to work with one of my profiles. I save that profiles .WCP file (it’s in the messenger folder) and make a copy of it for the profile I want to use. I then will fire up that profile and the ATI/Handicam capture will stream. If I close out of the profile it may or may not fire back up again and there is no possibility of switching to the Logitech and back to the ATI/Handicam. If it gags, I grab the copy and rename and launch.

If there is another “fix” for this I’d be interested in trying it but so far this is the only thing that “worked”. YAHOO! suggests a VFW registry tweak… not! Didn’t help but I think it is related to the video for windows functions. I used to be able to select MIcrosoft WDM Image Capture as a device in YIM but no longer and it would allow me to select any video source available to stream… now it’s gone. Anyone else see this type of behavior with YIM 5.5?
