Jason,
We have no idea if you’re capturing via firewire or an analog connection, and we have no idea if you used Easy Setup initially to establish the preferences for your project, or if you just dived in and started changing settings. No one reading your post can figure out how to help you if you don’t provide more of these details. Please get in the habit of helping others to help you by being precise, that the profesionals here can help you by giving you precise answers to help you solve your issues.
