Im about to buy a Canopus ADVC 100 and i have a few questions about it, i hope someone can answer these :

1) I hear VirtualDub wont work with this device - Q: whats a decent app that a can use for capturing (mostly from analog source Sony Hi8 Cam or S-Video Satelite TV)

2) occasianly there will be clips that i want to capture from Macrovision protected Satelite TV programs, after some research here's what i found
Q: is this info accurate ?

from http://www.guygraphics.com/reviews/advc-100.html
Macrovison Protection:

When Macrovision copy-protection is detected by the ADVC-100, the following occurs:
• The brightness and contrast for both analog and DV output are lowered.
• The status light blinks.

If there are applications where you must capture a Macrovision copy-protection clip, we found that this can be done by doing the following:
• Press and hold the Input Select button on the front panel until you see the color bars appear.
• Keep the button pressed (about 15 seconds) until the color bars disappear. (Note: with some capture cards the color bars may not appear. In any case, keep the button pressed for the full 15 seconds.
• Macrovision copy-protection is now disabled until you switch off the ADVC-100.

3) Q: Can I use this device as a 'TV Out' , in order to play Video Games on TV


thanks for your help in advance!
