One other thing. Roxio may be optioned in capture or project settings to stop the capture if it 'senses" a break in the video action.

You may be able to change a setting from that to whatvever they call Keep Capturing Until I tell You to Stop!!!! and if you can make such a change it could fix the problem.

Keep the image stabilizer. Who knows, you might come across an old commercial VHS movie that you want to copy and the stabilizer should work like the old TBC (Timebase Corrector) which also defeats the old Macro copy protection of VHS tapes.

I have one in hand that I bought fair and square but has not bee released on DVD and I would love to be able to capture it - I am looking at EBay for a used Timebase Corrector.
good luck
