BT8xx chip

this is supposed to work on bt848, 849, 878, and 879 based capture card so I tried it on my studio vcd capture card under WinXP and it works. Just install it automatically then go to your hardware profile. You'll notice that the drivers installed are marked with X, just right click on them and enable the device. You'll surely notice that these are Conexant drivers, but it works well so I'm not complaining.
