The USB Dazzle capture device is the Digital Video Creator and comes with
the moviestar software.
It's a little ancient - and I am open to suggestions if you think another
card is required.
I am in the UK and what I am trying to do is to move an NTSC tape onto a PAL
dvd.
My video is PAL, but has the SPQB thingy which lets me play ntsc tapes to
PAL TV, but oinly in B&W.
I am sure I can receive this on the computer as NTSC and then convert it
into PAL.... but do not know how.
Thanks in advance for any feedback
