I work for Montage Group Ltd., manufacturer of the Montage III, II and
other non-linear editing systems. Our system III uses the ActionMedia II
board, and I can tell you for several reasons, it's the inherent nature
of the .AVS file format. If you'd like me to go into detail as to why this
happens, let me know and I'll post it on up, otherwise I'll not bore the net
with the specifics. :)

My advice : do what we did - make your own microcode for the card. It's
a wonderful beast, but Intel only gives you the barebones basics for code.
