Pinnacle AV/DV2 or DC10+B miserable performance

[cybertheque]

I salvaged a 'Bendino' card (Pinnacle AV/DV2 or DC10+B) from a scrapped PC, found
the WDM drivers for Win2k/XP, installed the lot into an Win2k Athlon 2800 512MB UDMA HD
box, and tried caps at various sizes using 'amcap' but could not find a format that didn't drop
lots of frames at ~30fps and it often just stalled for a few seconds. The box also has the
wdmvfw wrapper and so I tried a version of VdubMod but it always hung when the capture
window is opened, requiring reboots.

The card is supposed to do bus master dma and it didn't share an irq; I can do
full frame rate 640x480 using 'btwincap' on ancient Bt cards in the same machine
(separately installed).

Has anyone used this card successfully without the Studio 9 (or higher) software?

In the same vein, how about experience with the SAA7130-based cards like the
Avermedia EZDVD (cheap single-chip PCI)?

I had a dc10+ like 5 years ago it worked ok with studio 8, never worked with vdub or maybe with half the dvd resolution lol.
SAA71xx cards are better in my opinion mine has a SAA7133 philips chip
The only matter would be to find a reliable software (windvr3, fly2000tv amongst others)
