Use VirtualDub, set "Pinnacle" as the device and you'll get better
results than trying to use Pinnacle's own software anyway. Use HufYuv
as the codec. Make sure you have the pinnacle device in Device
Manager under "Sound, Video, And Game Controllers." If there is an
exclamation point then "Update Driver" and when asked to find the
software go to the root of disc one of the Pinnacle software.
