video input crash in 10.6.2 or thereabouts

[Ejberendsen]

Hi,

Today I tried to get my camera working on my macbook pro. And it's working so long that you NOT turn on "Enable LFG Direct API" in the video input preference. If I turned it on, Catalyst crashes during startup.

@ Lightemotions:

Can it be that it's on your Mac pro, and off on your MacBookPro?

Kind Regards,

no - it has nothing to do with enabling or disabling anything to do with LFG-
what you see if the byproduct of a memory allocation problem- not the cause-

the crash happens on systems which have never been anywhere near any LFG or phoenix cards - or had any of their drivers installed-

it happens on systems which are using exclusively decklink or firewire video input -
i have seen it on a mac mini with firewire video in-
crash affects all catalyst versions back to m119

apple changed something in the last month or two-

the application i built is an apple application - nothing to do with catalyst - as it crashes too -
