Hi Ray, thanks for the further update - I'm unsure so far what your problem is if you are not on the creator update. I have just tested the creator update and the news is not good - on a fresh Win10 install, before the creator update I got the following webcams to work correctly: SPC900 MS Lifecam C...

Ok, so it sounds like the Win 10 Creators update has broken things for a lot of people and in other applications too - that's not nice of Microsoft! :( I haven't tried the update yet on any computers, but will try to load it up later on and see what I can see. That obviously doesn't apply to Pablo w...

Hi Alain, from the log the camera starts up properly and immediately sends an 'Abort' event to SharpCap, which shuts it down again. Did you use the Vista driver from this page - http://www.p4c.philips.com/cgi-bin/cpindex.pl?ctn=SPC900NC/00&hlt=Link_Software&mid=Link_Software&scy=GB&s...

Sorry to say that there's no chance of a Mac version - I'd have to rewrite the whole UI from scratch and a good deal of the rest of the program too.

cheers,

It's something that has been suggested by others and I am undecided about it so far. I think that it will be best to leave this aside until I have written...

Hi Bjorn, this should be fine - the other end of the scale (small field of view) is more of a problem. You could always use a smaller ROI to drop the FOV, but I don't think you will need to. There is a small loss of accuracy due to the reduced magnification, but again not enough to worry about - ali...

Hi Mitch, glad to hear it's working for you. Saw your post over on the Altair google group about the ZWO too - the horizontal bands there look like an artifact of the hot pixel removal when using dark subtraction in SharpCap - that tends to happen if the dark being used doesn't match the camera sett...

Hi, the error message you are seeing ('cannot allocate memory because no size has been set') is coming from DirectShow, which is the Microsoft technology that supports the camera drivers. If you search for the message on google you will find hundreds of people complaining about getting it in all sor...

Excellent - glad to hear it worked
