I tried both the C920 and C930e. In both cases vMix 15.0.0.88 x64 returns an error message listing the resolution & codec combinations that are allowed.

I was trying to evaluate the difference in latency between using MJPEG and H264. Found I could not actually get H264 from the cameras. FWIW, I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I was more-or-less forced into upgrading by a hard drive failure. I saw little point in rebuilding the system anew using Windows 7 Pro. Michael Graves

As you have discoverd, there seems to be no access to the encoders output. I heard unofficially that the H.264 interface has exclusively only been made available to Microsoft (Skype), I expect so they could get a steel on high performance HD video conferencing. Unfortunately I am a little constrained as the software I am writing is in flash, so it can be executed within vMix, however I could write an external desktop app, and use desktop capture. All The Best Keith

I seem to recall it being available in old driver versions for the C920, but I might be wrong about that.

I went about "updating" the driver on my Windows 10 system. In so doing, I selected the basic UVC video device over the manufacturers driver. With this done it seems that I could get the C920 to deliver 720p30 H264 to vMix. The video was initially ok, but quickly turned blocky, freezing occasionally. So something is still not right. One thing is clear, there is some latency to the H264 stream that you won't see with any other video format. MJPG would seem to offer both reduced USB bandwidth and low latency. Michael
