previous Video for Windows driver, but if you have multiple Osprey cards installed you do have the

option of running the Video for Windows driver on some cards and the AVStream driver on others.

Unfortunately the Recording Control does not work smoothly in this situation. The Video for Windows

device will always try to act like it is the selected device even if it is not. You have to manually enter

Recording Control’s Options  Properties dialog to select your device.

If you no longer need the Video for Windows driver, you can uninstall it using instructions obtainable

from Osprey technical support. If you are comfortable using RegEdit to edit your registry, you can

instead go to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
