There's a major problem I can't overcome. STOIK loses connection with the video card if I make any STOIK GUI selection changes prior to capture. Each launch forgets previous settings so I'm forced to re-select all the compression and capture settings at each launch. Making just one selection change can cause STOIK to lose the card most of the time. To avoid a reboot, I've discovered that I can regain access to the video card using VirtualDub to release and reconnect to the card. Then I can launch STOIK again and have access to the card. About every 5th or so launch of STOIK, I can make the needed 6 or 8 GUI selections changes and successfully initiate a capture. That one successful capture, however, often ignores my 640x480 selection and captures erroneously in 352x240. Maybe your experience will differ. It's free. Worth a try.
