I've never personally cared for using Roxio for capture control. Did Roxio come with your super PC or video capture card and that's why you're using it?

What OS is your PC running? What capture card are you using?

I have been very happy with a simple consumer level program by ULead called Video Studio.

It will control motion and still image capture and it does a wonderful job and I have used it to control good capture of hundreds of hours of old home movies from VHS and Betamax and 8mm format vcrs with never a hitch or glitch.

Video Studio comes bundled "free" with several brands of PC dvd drives/burners so you could check with friends to see if they have a software disc with Video Studio included (unless you are running Windows Vista).

If you are running Vista I advise that you go to ULead and download the free trial version of Video Studio Version 11 and try it's video card capture control with your tapes.

If your VHS vcr has S video output you should be able to capture if your card has an S input but (some will argue here) VHS and even Betamax and 8mm camcorder tapes are of such low resolution quality even playing first generation that composite connections should let you capture your video as mpeg2 via composite cables with no visible loss of quality. Of course, S video will be a little better.

Hope this helps - this is one thing I have done a lot of with (to me and family) very good results. Now at about 70 completed dvd volumes edited and with chapter menus and (again, to me and family) the rendered dvd look just as good on tvs as the original tapes playing.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
