That can capture video & audio no problems from the AV inputs.

548442 2007-05-23 01:30:00 I have been to Hauppauge's support desks in both New York and Singapore . The answer from Singapore was most helpful and explanatory .

Essentially the WinTV card does not do what its published specification says and implies, ie provide an input for composite video and audio to Vista .

Hauppauge now says that Vista will not pick up either composite video or audio input to the WinTV card . However XP-MCE will pick up the video but not the audio . It is necessary to input the audio in this case via the audio card, but even then there may be synchronization difficulties .

So much for Vista compatibility, and for disclosure in the published specification of the card of its limitations .

Hauppauge Singapore is further helpful by advising that their retail application WinTV2000 can capture the video, and they provide a link for down loading the latest version .

Hauppauge New York gives some ideas too, again with WinTV2000 .

All this tells me that we still have a way to go, and the way will be fraught, before we will have our simple, original, and fundamental requirement of composite video input . This is not a happy situation with a brand new computer .
