The camcorder just acts as a passthrough. I was under the impression that importing via USB would not capture at full video quality. Is there a USB capture device I can use?

Erik, is the captured avi in sync?

Actually, I'm not sure I ever checked the raw AVIs, and I've since deleted them. I'm pretty sure that I checked the preview in Pinnacle before encoding, and it synced ok iirc.

I suspect the culprit is either my laptop or my DVR. In the past I've sucessfully used the camcorder as a passthrough, going from a different DVR to a different computer.

I was hoping someone would easily solve my problem by saying, "Oh, the Pinnacle encoder is absolute crap. Use ____."
