If you have video already on your hard disk then you don't use the capture setting, just import the video files into Pinnacle, now I'm not 100% certain if Pinnacle can open video files from a DVD. If it can then that's great but if it can't open them you may have to get some conversion software (do a search on Google for .vob to .wmv or .avi - so Pinnacle can handle these files much better) or download a 30 day trial of the most recent version of Sony Vegas (read more about it on the Sony Vegas section of the forum for more info and maybe post some questions there aswell) as I know this will allow you to open and work with DVD video files.
