Video capture w/ Conexant Falcon-II Tuner

I have an HP-d4100y Pavillion that has a Conexant Falcon-II tuner on board.
I have attempted to upload video content from and analog Hi8 camera with no
sucess. I have worked with HP support to atleast get the tuner card
recognized and make sure that the drivers are correct.

Where HP seems to fail is that none of the SW that they have bundled will do
this task. So they keep telling me to go dowload trials or buy 3rd party SW.
I have tried a few that have also failed to work. It seems to me that they
are guessing about this compatibility issue. I would appreciate any
insights.

1) What video formats will the Conexant Falcon-II output ??
(My board has the CX23416 encoder chip and the CX25843 decoder chip)

2) Any 3rd party video SW must accept the format of the Falcon-II (above)
Clues ?

3) Most of the current DVD Video programs do not explicitly state wether or
not they are compatible with the older Falcon-II design. Conexant appears
to have allowed 4 or more manufacturers, such as ASUS, access to this
refrence design.
