UNRIAD + Win7 + Video Capture Card

[authorleon]

Hello all, 

 

I have a 14 day trial of UNRAID. I think the software is a great idea but as you can imagine I'm a little bit skeptical. In order to appease my skepticism, I downloaded the trial and tested it out on a system. I have to admit everything seems to work. I have dumped the BIOS, I have two graphics cards with two systems working. Windows 10 and Windows 7. I have put the CPU to 100% on all course for over an hour. No problem whatsoever. So the system seems to be working. I do get some odd glitches here and there when loading Windows, i.e. the loading window seems to skew a little.

 

I have a special video capture card which is a Matrox VS4. It allows for SDI inputs.

IOMMU group 15:	[102b:83f0] 02:00.0 Multimedia controller: Matrox Electronics Systems Ltd. Device 83f0

I had set PCIe ACS override: to Downstream.

so what is the problem I am having.

 

Well I tested the read/write speed on the local disk and I get above 600 MB is perfectly fine.

 

When I run my video capturing software, it loads up all the inputs. As a means of the test I set it to one input. 

 

When I capture the video, it captures fine for the first 3 to 5 minutes and in some cases 10 minutes. But eventually it drops one frame. 

I did exactly the same experiment but I saved it to an external NAS. I had the same problem.

 

So I'm not quite sure what the issue is.

 

But any advice would be more than welcomed.

Hello???? Anyone...

Hello all? Is this topic not interesting? I thought somebody with a video capture card would have had the same problem? Even if I have to pay can someone really help. I have been through a lot of tutorials and increasing the performance. I have seen the YouTube video all three parts. It has helped but it still drops frames every two minutes or so..

Are you assigning to all four of your cores?  Are you leaving core 0/4 for Unraid? Try it with core 0/4 not used for the VM.

Hello,

 

I have done that but I get the same result. I noticed something today whereas before I did not:

 

irq 18: nobody cared found on your server:
