Looks like a lost cause Moth3r. Thanks for the link. Apparently there's nothing I can do to fix my machine but buy a new one. I think I'll pass on that, though I'll probably end up selling this thing back on Ebay once I finish my project. Speaking of which, at this point I'm giving up on capturing my own raw footage. In it's place, I will be getting the raw capture files from Laserman's X0 project. I'm sure these will be much better caps than what I've been able to work with so far. As soon as I get these X0 files I'll be able to crank out these dvd's. Stay tuned.
