Can't really help directly, but from what I've read, getting the correct drivers in place is a real work of art. Search the forum for ati and you'll find a bunch of info. Also, it would help if you included your type of ati card. Good luck

ps - I came across this link on another thread

I think Virtual dub is the best around. I'm venturing a guess you European so capture at 352x576 using a 2:1 cubic reduction (under video menu) with no video compression or Huffy if you have to. This will get you a 352x288 avi file that you can feed into TMPGenc to make very good VCDs (just barely less than 200 lines of resolution).

by the way those numbers are to get a PAL standard VCD.
