• Software compatibility: NLEs like Premiere Pro 2023 no longer support VfW/WDM legacy capture.
• Driver fragility: A single Windows Update will break your system.

Step 1: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (Windows 7 only)

• Press F8 before Windows logo.
• Select "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement".
