Ok, I still have not tried out the phone cable for audio because, well I've been busy. I've been using the DV capture box in the meantime. Besides, what good will getting the PDI captures with sound do me if they come out all garbled when I try to edit them in Vegas? See below.

Here's a screenshot using the Pyro DV capture box.

I tried to import the video clip captured in virtualdub using the PDI card. It didn't have audio but I was just interested in seeing whether there was a noticeable improvement over DV compression. Unfortunately it was impossible to determine.

It was actually pretty hard to try to find the matching frame. It took me a while before I realized that in addition to being garbled, the PDI capture also appeared upside down, but that's easy to flip back in Vegas. Does anyone know why it displayed so screwed up in Vegas (I have 4.0)? The avi played fine and right-side up in windows media player. Only when displayed in vegas did it have this problem.
