"Unsupported Format" Means Capture Card is Incompatible?

I'm getting these in my debug logs:
Yeah, it sounds like a no-brainer, but a few of the logs that came up in my forum search contain the "unsupported format" message and report that the video gets to play anyway because VLC falls back to a compatible format (example). Since my logs don't have such a thing, it's safe to assume that my card's hopeless, right? There's nothing else I should look out for in the logs? Googling "CXF2" shows that it's some obscure proprietary format used by Conexant Falcon Video, which makes me suspect that this card is locked tight to the vendor's software.
Windows Movie Maker (of all things) can use the capture card perfectly so I'm sure the card's not broken.
Code: Select all
dshow debug: EnumDeviceCaps: trying pin Capture
dshow debug: EnumDeviceCaps: input pin default format configured
dshow debug: EnumDeviceCaps: input pin media: unsupported format (video CXF2)
dshow debug: EnumDeviceCaps: trying pin Audio Out
