This capture card seems to be a mystery, and I cannot find the drivers for it anywhere! The seller on eBay had it listed as an "ATi Wonder Pro PCI".

Doing some googling showed many results but none of them were for this card. It just seems very vague as to what it is. It also appears that many of the parts on this card are used in many other capture cards, so that didn't help the confusion.

Googling the part number printed on the circuit board 109-A38000-01 shows that it's made for Dell desktops, This could be your driver:

When I plug the card in, it shows up in device manager as "Multimedia Video Controller"

Hmmm... It shows up as a selectable device in VirtualDub! But I'm am getting no picture. Imma try out some different capture software.

It's a Dell ATi Elite 109-A50330-11 PCI TV Tuner Card.

[RustInDirt]

But the card is only PCI.

So, I tired this one out and managed to get video but no audio. However I was able to capture audio from the line-in but it was not in sync.

Also, I suppose this card wouldn't work on Windows 10?

[dellsam34]

Are you sure you are selecting the right audio source in the setting of your capture program? In Vdub you will have to select both video and audio sources separately.

If I recall correctly, TV tuner cards based on the ATI Theatre 200 chip only ever had drivers available for XP. The video features of this card probably won't work with any newer version of Windows.

Ah, that's a shame but this capture card is pretty old.

Provide Hardware ID - something like PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_10F5&SUBSYS_20EE17AA&REV_03

Seem this is latest driver:

You may try to search for something unofficial - Windows 7 has limited support to Windows XP drivers - try to search for information on this but if i can advise something, buy some older desktop and install Windows XP - overall cost shall be less than 60 - 80$

I know the interlacing is pretty bad, but I am encoding with Handbrake right now to see if that'll fix it.

Here is a proper deinterlaced version of the video above:

Why would you capture a HD source with a SD capture card?

Money constraints.

I know the interlacing is pretty bad,

Huh?
And Handbrake can't "fix" anything.

Handbrake has a deinterlacing option, sorry I left that out!
