Frae Auld Bob Peffers:
Read Appendix B, (Tips and Ttricks), in the handbook that came with the
Pinnacle hardware/software. It has several hints on the settings. Read also
Appendix C, (Troubleshooting), and D, (Usdeful Hints). These hints and tips
are also in the Help files and there is a PDF format Manual on the Pinnacle
CD. It is rather a long time since I did that transfer to CD/DVD task and I
remember I had the same problem and solved it from those hints and tips in
the manual. Unfortunatly I cannot remember exactly what steps I took to
solve it but only that I did not need outside help. If I remember I will
post what it was.

Hi

Thanks for the answer.
I went through the manual and tips and hints but so far nothing helped.
I went through Pinnacles own forums, and appareantly its a known problem,
they just dont want to do anything about it. There was a fix, a 'cracked'
file but unfortunately only for Win98.
Guess I'll just have to get the Hauppauge WinTV PVR-250, and see if that can
do the trick instead.
