Sorry if my english is poor.
I found Corel capture cards on Chinese buying websites:
http://www.ibuyla.com/Product/42113172666/
http://www.ibuyla.com/Product/17427769313/
http://cart100.com/Product/14719434008/
http://ebuying365.com/product/42381060454/
Is this a real Corel product or is it a Chinese joke?
I wanted to buy AverMedia card which isn't available in my country but now I have doubts. If those Corel cards are fake maybe all the products available on those websites are fake.

I see no mention of such a product on the real Corel website.
It seems to be a total rip-off since the prices range from $100 to almost $700 for the same product.

I have to agree. The Corel.com website turns up no results, nor does a Google search, for a specifically "Corel" branded capture card.
Corel in fact owns two companies which *do* make capture cards. One is called Pinnacle, but the card carries the brand Pinnacle, and it comes with the Pinnacle Studio editing software. The Chinese cards appear to come with what is called Corel Video Studio X4 Essentials, which is apparently a cut down and old version of the mainline product Video Studio, now in version 18 (X8). Corel also owns Roxio which also sells a capture card, but again that comes with Roxio in the brand name and uses Roxio software.
In the past, there have been other Chinese capture cards which use a name similar to another capture card, though in this case it was EasyCap as opposed to EZ-Cap. See this thread which discusses it: http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php ... 30#p211330
The other thing which makes me suspicious is that some of the ads talk about "Ulead Video Studio". Corel bought out Ulead a few years ago now, about the time Video Studio 10 was released. Note that in the EasyCap/EZ-Cap fraud, the software which came with the card was said to be a cut down version of Ulead Video Studio 10...
