Thanks to all. This eases my fear of coming home to do a install.

These state that they work with Vista 32 bit only. I have Vista 64. Will I have an issue with installation?

What products specifically, everyone I see comes with software. This is fine because my Dazzle 150 came with Studio 8 Starter. But I'm trying to avoid spending money on ''plu'' and ''ultimate'' editions of these products because the software will be useless to me as long as I can capture to Studio 12.

Ahhhh....I see what you are saying now. I'm not sure if I can do that. I just can't believe in this day that there is no Dazzle equivalent to simpy connect a VCR to your home PC.

Specifically I'm looking to go from a VCR and export into Studio 12. That is why I don't need movie box ultimate or plus etc...

I have been reading through the threads. It appears that Dazzle is out of the mix for VHS capture and Vista 64. I have been browsing some products but the product description seems vague. What can I use to capture VHS and import into Studio 12? I just need a bare bones solution.

I have the Dazzle 150. I thought someone told me that the Pinnacle video 64 bit driver would work. I haven't tried it. Sorry I don't have the link for this driver, I downloaded it. But it sounds like I have to wait for the correct driver also.

Being a inexperienced user of YouTube I was surprised to see the ability to export from Studio 12.1 direct to YouTube. Nice feature. Except for the quality as mentioned. I have rendered my videos in the highest allowed quality of .wmv format and have uploaded to YouTube manually. After a while to process you will get the option to watch the video ...

Okay, just saw the previous post. I will read the FAQ. I have Studio 9 but when I installed that it didn't seem to do anything for Studio 12 regarding Smart Sound. I will read the FAQ as I must be missing a step.  Update: I see that you can't use a Studio 9 disc on Vista. I tried the quick track installer fix supplied by Smartsound but that ...

Thanks I will search for it now. But from what I understood there was a official release from Pinnacle stating that all known workarounds would be disabled with the patch. I read that and gave up trying to get my discs to work. I figured that I would just use Studio 9.4 on my old PC to uses those Smart Sound cds. But I will search again and see ...
