  1. Hi Everyone,
    I just purchased a Pinnacle Systems PCTV Pro card which I intend to use to caputure some old cartoon's from my VCR to VCD.
    Having only just opened the box,I have just discovered that it has come with Pinnacle PCTV/Pro V5.00 drivers on its installation CD.
    I'm a relative newbie to all of this,but according to VCD & Pinnacle's forums I cannot capure with Programs like VirtualDub & TMPEncg as the version 5 drivers are WDM,& not VFW.
    I also have Ulead's VideoStudio 4SE separately,which I was also considering for AVI capturing,but again I'm worried that the WDMV 5.x drivers make this program also incompatible.
    Everyone here seems to suggest that the PCTV Pro V4.02a/4.x drivers are more stable & VFW compatible.
    Can someone please tell me if there is a link somewhere that I can download the older V4.x VFW drivers?

    The only drivers I saw on Pinnacle site's was for the PCTV card,(Not the PRo version),for 4.02a were listed as being XP drivers.
    I have Windows 98 First Edition,so I didn't think these would be compatible either.
    If there's a site that has the original VFW Version 4.x drivers,then please someone help me?
    Alternatively,is there any way Virtual Dub,& TPMGEnc will work with the newer version 5 WDM drivers?
    I am a newbie so I'd really appreciate your help please.
    Thank you.

  2. I think you shuld test teh PCTV drivers. Just download those and try them out. PCTV, PCTV Pro, PCTV Rave uses the same drivers I think.
