Sharaman & David:
Fully understand what you are saying and agree whole heartedly with what should be done when you get new software. I would also like you to know that I installed this version separate from Version 9.4 for this very purpose. Never fails however that something goes array.
What seems like has happened is that Version 10 installed beautifully with no hick ups. I even installed the media suite package. Again no problems. It looks like the link up between the pinnacle program and my Nvida card has been screwed up. I can capture sound but no video image. When I clicked on my Version 9.4 same things. What is interesting is that Windows Movie Maker works great so it is definitely something related to the Pinnacle Software installation. No information in regards to this on-line. I removed 10 and still no go. This is a hog of a beast on your computer resources also. WOW!
Drivers on card and computer are fully up to date and with no conflicts. This is a dedicated machine so I really treat this baby with kit gloves.
I know it is something stupid but after reading all the other posts on the forums I am really puzzled as to what they are thinking or doing.
I am about to and have decided upon on going with Adobe Premier Pro and After Effects so I can get something more stable and gain some growth with my editing.
I recently won Avid's software package listed below in my sig line but I really am not wanting to change my thinking patens in regards to editing nor have to throw quite a bit more money into this machine to operate fully. In addition I have no one around me that knows the program. I would much rather work with something that others have more knowledge in and more information available on.
Thanks for your comments as I hope it will help others in the future when they do the same as I.
