To keep people updated on this package....Brought DC10+ from PC World for £70 (not bad). What was not obvious (at least to me) is that the capture only cares about video and so to get the soundtrack from your analogue source you'll need a 2-pin phono-3.5mm jack as well as the Scart to phono for the video.

After installing version 8.0 clicked capture and played th video. Went away for a while. Came back and saw that there is a "Deleting Video" (this is part of the Version 8 feature apparently) on the screen but it was obvious that the PC wasn't doing anything! Clicked "Edit" and draged the 1st capture to the editor and then the 2nd and Pinnacle just disappeared!

Re-started Pinnacle. Went to "Edit" and did the same operation and it happended again but this time it conplained about some input/output DLL error before crashing???!

Re-started Pinnacle but this time loaded this capture that came from Pinnacle and the drag operation was OK. Re-capture my original source but this this I make sure the rate was less than the default and the thing didn't crash.

I think this package is very unstable and any strain on the system will cause it to crash. I'm debating now if I should pursuit this or should I opt for an alternative as I think I need a bigger hard drive and obviously a DVD burner....
