That worked! I can now edit PDI captured video with HuffyUV lossless compression in Vegas. Thanks a lot! Now I just need to try one of those stereo jacks to see if it will work for audio. It took me a while to figure out how to get the best video because only after I had "none" for preview acceleration would it let me capture full size. I definitely see an improvement with the uncompressed over DV. I used some examples from Super Smash Brothers Melee.

The uncompressed PDI capture seems to be shifted up and left. This might result in lost information at the top and a thin black line at the bottom for the just about every other capture which won't be framed in by black. I know this won't be visible on a tv but I still want the images centered properly. Most of the stuff I capture (unlike this) is my own videos and I don't want anything cropped out during capture.

Look at the green below Link's head. Is there a specific name for those lines on what should be solid color?

They don't appear in the PDI capture.

I'm not sure if the text looks better here. It seems unevenly bold.

The other interesting thing is the PDI card will capture from my Nintendo 64. The DV box would not pick up anything from the console but strangely capture fine from gamecube. I have a feeling that the PDI will not give me a lot of trouble with dropped frames like I've had in the past. (a section of 37 dropped frames frequently has about 5 minutes of empty black space somehow inserted when I place it in the vegas timeline. It has been a serious pain to cut the blank space out and push the captured parts together)
