Plextor PX-m402u in XP guest

Post by gdesilva »

Hi,

I am running Win7 and have created a VirtualBox XP guest. The drivers for PX-M402U external video capture device do not exist for Win 7 and I saw somewhere that a workaround is to run it in a XP guest.

I have got the device installed in my XP guest but when I try to capture video I get an error message stating that the device was not initialized correctly and hece cannot be started. Have done number of resets and restarts without any luck.

Just wondering whether any one in this forum has been able to get this working and if so share their experience.

Many thanks.

AFAIK anything usb video does not work properly or at all with Virtualbox, due to some usb part not implemented I think.
