I'm still here!
I'm wondering if Roxio v8 supports this card, you might want to check their
website to see.
If there is a demo (trial) available of Cyberlink's PowerDirector
(
www.gocyberlink.com) try that and see if it helps and correctly identifies
the capture card. You might also do the same with Intervideo's WinDVD
Creator (
www.intervideo.com).
I think it's probably a matter of trying each software application in turn
and seeing which one identifies the card correctly, the trial and error
method.
