Video Magician TV Tuner
Video Magician , a hardware / software conversion system that turns any PC into
a professional video editing station that rivals systems costing five to ten
times more. Video Magician includes an internal PCI card, breakout box for easy

Unfortunately, KWorld seems to have dropped support for this product and doesn't even mention it on their site. It's says something about a company when it won't even mention older products on its site much less provide any support or access to older drivers and software.
I've had this product for a while but can't give it a high rating or really any rating when it's manufacturer won't provide long term support. I was looking at KWorld's newer products but ... I don't think so. No product is any better than the the support you get.

I bought this K World Card about two months ago and its been working great for me. Also works with Linux Ubuntu 64-bit. Actaully looks better in Linux then Windows XP Pro. I had some problems getting the sound to work... never got that to work with Windows XP but worked fine in Linux Ubuntu. Before I had this card, my inputs worked for sound. But now I have it, they've never worked... Even tried reloaded all the drivers (RelTek, Gigabyte mobo, and K world Capture card). I'm 14 years old and I say ''BUILD ON!''

It worked excellent on windows xp, now that I'm running vista however it works to a limited extent. vista premium switches over to basic, but you can't use the maximize button or it errors you have to manually size the window and still have all the bars and junk on the screen.
As far as vista drivers I'm about as clueless as the next guy.

Bought this in January '07 after checking Kworld's web site regarding Vista drivers. At the time their site promised Vista drivers would be made available. At present (July '07)their newly revised site no longer even mentions this item let alone provide Vista drivers. I sent Kworld an email asking what the status of this item was and have had no response of any kind. If you're running XP, and do not plan on upgrading to Vista, then this is an 'ok' item at best. If you run Vista, or plan on upgrading to Vista, then forget this item. It will be a waste of money!

Mine doesn't work with Vista Ultra and I can't find drivers on their web page. Why not!!! Is there a work-around for it?
It works fine on XP Pro.
