0.6:09.0 Multimedia video controller [0400]: Zoran Corporation
ZR36057PQC Video cutting chipset [11de:6057] (rev 01)
That Chip was used in the Pinnacle/Miro DC10(new and old), and in the
Pinnacle/Miro DC30. The Cards use differen IC's for TV encoding a
decoding and for the mjpeg encoder:

Linux ubuntu 3.19.0-15-generic
That is a older kernel (~8years old) which is a good thing.

Can you point me to instructions on where to download the right
driver and then how to load a driver manually?
The correct driver should be shipped with the linux kernel.
Usually the kernel modules are located in /lib/modules/ go to that
directory and search for zoran, zr36, saa711, adv717
It should find some files.

tried older kernel (see above) still not working
If there search did find a zoran module try to load the modules as root
with a command like this for a first test:
modprobe -n -v --show-depends zoran
And once without the --show-depends, and if the output looks prosing
without the -n
If there s no zoran.o, replace the zoran with zr36067, so the command
looked like that: modprobe -n -v --show-depends zr36067
