I have had this card for about 4 years now. I have had problems with acpture for so long but things started to come together when I ordered a Toshiba DVD recorder. They just so happen to give me a program that will capture at full frames in Mpeg1/2 and DVD-NTSC. The program that I'm using is Director Pro by Cyberlink. I have had no problems with it at all. I am happy with both the video card and capture program that i have now. So if your looking for that full frame progarm you should look into Director Pro, you will not be sorry at all. Thanks for reading this doc. Signed Markcus Bernard of Twentynine Palms Comments posted by Markcus Berard from Other, March 31, 2003: Compatibility: Win95 Win98 Win2K WinXP Vista? NT4 MAC?

Happy Day! To follow up my prior post, I not only got capture drivers working in Win2K, but now I can also capture at 720x480 and other resolutions using iuVCR and NVidia's generic WDM capture driver. here's what I did: 1. I use iuVCR. This has been the only program that works for me without frame drops. 2. First, download and install Guillemot WDM capture drivers. Find them at: ftp://ftp.guillemot.com/video/exe/CGRVE/dcve-2kxp-3501.exe (This should allow you to capture at 640x480, 320x240 and a few other limited resolutions.) 3. Download and install Nvidia WDM capture drivers. Find them at: ftp://download1.nvidia.com/Windows/23.11/WDM_1.08.exe (You MUST use 1.08 drivers. Newer drivers apparently are incompatible and will insert a large white block in all captures. Also, I tried installing just the Nvidia drivers, but I couldn't get it to work without first installing the Guillemot drivers.) 4. If the video is in black & white, click on the "crossbar" button in iuVCR to get color. Then it captures ok. (Have no idea why this happens). In Win2K, I have captured at 720x480 with Huffy codec and with Mainconcept DV codec (with no frame drops) on 1.1g Celeron. Hope this is helpful.

The Cougar Video Edition capture card would only work on Win95 and Win98 and I am not sure on Win2000. It is great is a display adapter in WinXP and anything else is limited. It won't work normally on WinXP, however Microsoft provided a display adapter driver for it to work as NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro. The CD installation of Video Edition Manager won't work in WinXP as totally incompatible. I only managed to get the capture drivers from their web site along with the Guillemot DVR program to work on WinXP. The DVR program come from the disc, just copy the DVR set up folder into the hard drive then install it. The Guillemot DVR program became as a standalone unit to do the capturing of MPEG2 videos. The PAL capturing works very well, however there is a fault on NTSC capturing. There is a little of incompatibility issues in the DVR program as it wouldn’t work perfectly on WinXP. This is due the capture drivers as not digitally signed and approved and because of this, Cyperlink's "PowerVCR" won’t work. VirtualDub capturing works very well with the video card and this one must work with the standalone Guillemot DVR program to get the capturing.

Always had decent captures in Win98 -- however, would get frame drops at higher resolution using AviIO or VirtualDub. Finally, after over a year, got video capture to work in Win2K with the Cougar VE. Download and install the WDM capture drivers from Guillemot's site. Get iuVCR. Works perfectly -- in Win2K, I can get 640x480 caps with no frame drops on 1.1gig celeron. A negative re: the drivers is that you are limited to pre-set capture sizes (640x480, 320x120, 80x60). Attempts to set the capture size to any other size freezes the computer. Comments posted by AlC from Other, August 23, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K WinXP? Vista? NT4? MAC?

This card does not seem to operate with Messenger or Net Meeting and is therefore of no use if you want to video conference Comments posted by Peter Parker from Other, April 25, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP? Vista? NT4? MAC? Linux? - Rated: No rating. |

The video card in my computer works very well and as excellent to do video capturing from the camera, VCR and from any video source. The only problem it's driver and program isn't compatible with WinXP and I have to download the updated drivers for it to work. The computer now knows there is a video input with the video card to do the capturing and the cd-rom of Cougar video card is still not compatible and have to use the Guillemot DVR program as standalone unit to do the capturing MPEG2 videos into my hard drive. I may one day get a more updated video program such as Cyperlink's, "PowerVCR" to capture MPEG video clips. Comments posted by CHRIS from Other, January 16, 2002: Compatibility: Win95? Win98 Win2K?
