Hi,

I'm very new to all this, and while I guess I can
at best tinker with video capture on this my old
pc ( AMD 600 MHZ ), I'd like to capture a little
video here and there.

I "inherited" this pc, and have no idea what kind
of PCI card is installed.

When I boot Windows 2000 Pro, the system detects
the card and I get the prompt to install the
"Multimedia Device".

I've looked at the card, and can see the following:

"Intel" is printed on the board.

The main chip reads "BT848KPF Video Decoder 6679704"
It has multiple Hyundai chips all over the board as well,
which I assume is onboard RAM (?).

The card has 3 connectors on the rear:
S-Video, Aux, and (RCA connector)Comp 1.

So, I need to find and install the correct
device driver and if possible the original
software that would have been bundled with the
card.

I've already done many Google searches using
the info I have, and have had no success.

Ideas and feedback appreciated,
Peter

do you have access to an xp machine

if you fit it into an xp system it will have the drivers and you can
identify the card in device manager.

Looks like a video capture or output card. That's a BrookTree Chip, the
video decoder.

If you do a search on BrookTree 848kpf you will get a TON of answers.

You may have MIRO PCTV card, for example. That came up quite a bit

Sounds like an Intel Smart Video Recorder III (ISVR3). Is it
a "full-length" (8 in or so) PCI card or a "half-length" (shorter). If it's
"full length" then it's a ISVR Pro.

I have one (ISVR3), used it for awhile, then Intel stopped supporting it
and I moved on to better cap hdwe. It didn't come with much software,
so don't worry about that. It worked fine for me.

It's based on the Broooktree BT848 chipset, there are
TONS of cap cards based on this set, and their drivers
all worked with it when I tried them.

Google for "BT848" + driver.

Also search support.intel.com for "smart video recorder"
for tons of hits.

So it looks like it has a Braintree chip.
