Great!  Glad you got it beat.

Couple of other things.  Probably a bit far out but you never know! Before I started capturing on my Dell laptop I was using an older lower powered desktop running XP and Pinnacle 9.4.  Still running XP on the Dell.  Read that there was something in XP SP2 that could create capture problems.  My old system would not recognize ...

I had this problem a few weeks ago.  I found that disconnecting from the internet and then disabling antivirus and firewall software enabled me to capture without any dropped frames. Just a thought anyway.  Dave  

Welcome aboard.   Its a while since I did this but if I remember rightly I simply dragged and dropped  the sub menu to the chapters link on the main menu.  This one usually only has two buttons ''Watch movie'' and ''Chapters''  Drag it right to the chapters button.

Kawboy:*sigh*..   I just bought 12 about a month ago..   I got a pretty decent deal on it, but really don't want to buy it again this soon. I can relate to that.  Just bought 12 plus about a month or so ago and have it working to my satisfaction. Gonna be a wait and see situation for me anyway! Dave
