I own a Blackmagic H.264 Pro recorder, and was trying to get it to work with vMix, and even though vMix sees it, I cannot get it to work.......it shows up in the devices, but when I select it, I get an error message "Capture Device could not be loaded, please check the device and try again"...I tried all the settings, but still I get nothing from it.....I need some help here.....thanks.

AFAIK, the BM H264 recorder is a hardware encoder which sends a stream of pre-encoded H264 to the PC, whereas vMix requires UNCOMPRESSED video, as delivered by the BM Intensity and Decklink devices. Whilst the BM "Desktop Video" driver may allow vMix to "see" that a H264 Recorder is connected to the PC, vMix will probably not be able to open it in a suitable mode (because it's not the right type of device to send uncompressed video).
