I recently bought this capture card
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...203&CatId=4957
when I stream anything 480p and under, its perfectly fine, runs well. If i try to do 720p or 1080i I will get no video.
After much MUCH testing I have narrowed the problem down to my motherboard...
I have tried the card in all slots, updated bios, reformated.
I tried the card in my spare pcs, and it worked fine in all of them, in XP and windows 7.
Normally at this point I would just say the card is bad but the thing is it works in every other system except for my main pc.

To make things even weirder, I can see the 1080i capture stream using virtualdub but ONLY in preview mode (cpu render) trying to set it to overlay mode will just give me a blank screen again. This definitely points to the video card but I disproved that by getting it to work fine in the other systems.. I've run out of ideas =(
