Hello,
I have 3 surveillance cameras that do not have 32-bit drivers, so I decided to create a 32-bit virtual machine running a Windows XP SP3 guest OS on a Windows 8 x64 host system.
The problem I am having is with the USB controller- whenever I try to enable video feed from more than a single camera, the guest operating system reports this:
I noticed another user informing about this here: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/16401
My question is: How can I make a virtual machine not have USB controller bandwidth problems?
If I add 5 cameras to a 32bit host system with 6 USB ports, I can run all 5 cameras simultaneously. Why is it a problem for VMware to work the same way. I udnerstand that there can't be added more than a USB controller to a virtual machine, but how to bypass this bandwidth limitation so it can accept input stream from 2-3 USB cameras?
Note: I can view one camera stream at a time, just not two or more simultaneously.
