    The capture card I have access to is in a junker PC.
    No hard drive in it, just a bunch of old I/O cards.


    With the board in hand, is there a way or sources for
    software to run the thing by brand or board identification?


    Does anyone have a software compatibility list and sources
    by board brand name/number?


    My OS is Windows 98SE-- about the same generation as the
    board. Install setup is a Tyan Trinity board. PII 400 MHz.

    I haven't got the thing in hand yet, but shortly.

    Will come back with chipset info then.


    The board was in a home machine so it was maybe
    a Haupague (whatevs) or an ATI.


    What sort of software is available for download to
    set up such things? I'm going to assume it's some
    kind of prog with a start/stop button to begin
    and end recording like an audio line in ripper.

    How is a file type specified such as .avi?


    Lots of questions on this. I'd prob'ly need a guide
    or manual to do the physical plugging as well.


    Thanks for answering

    Today I have the capture voard in question and can
    relate the product details. it is an oldie but a goodie
    (I hope.)


    Haupague WinTV (1998)

    61381 rev D133

    sn 1250526

    Connections are:

    FM
    TV
    line out
    dtv/s vid
    line in
    IR


    Chipset number is IM
    MSP 3430G-PS-A1
    31-HO-PA
    068409001 8453'

    The goal of using this is to capture VHS
    from a VHS player to a digital file, preferably AVI
    for use with such programs as Nero Vision Express
    to record to dvd.


    I'm a noob at doing any of this.

    Please tell what I need to get this thing going.

    So far I have used the product number to find
    and download the driver.zip for the device.


    Open source or freeware progs only will be used with
    this device. Please tell where such programs for this
    device might be obtained.


    I will check in with the Haupague site to see if
    I can learn anything there.
