eredienSo, I'm thinking about trying to make an anime music video, and found a nice free program, VirtualDub, which supposedly lets you do that.
However, I'm not sure whether you need a special card do to video capture, or just the right driver for video capture for the graphics card I already have (NVIDA Riva TNT2 Model 64 Pro).
The FAQ for VirtualDub says:
VirtualDub says I don't have a capture device, but I know I have one.
VirtualDub needs a Video for Windows capture driver to capture. Most Firewire (DV) devices do not provide a VFW driver, and thus cannot be used by VirtualDub at all. Also, ATI appears to be shipping their current devices with a WDM (Windows Driver Model) driver only; this can be used indirectly by VirtualDub through a Microsoft wrapper, but it is crippled in functionality and it also appears that the wrapper is buggy.
The wrapper will show up as "Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32)." If it works for you, great.
I've tried looking for "Video for Windows Capture Driver" and "WDM" on Google, and mostly came up with pages from Microsoft's developer database that I didn't understand.
Can someone help me?

However, all is not necessarily lost. If you have a DVD drive, you can still rip footage straight from it, and use that in your video. In fact, this will look better than video you've captured by other means. Howeverr, it requires a DVD drive, and it'll only work for DVD discs.
