Pinnacle PCTV Studio Rave Btwincap Driver Problem

Hi;

I am (like many others on here) about to embark on saving my VHS family video memories before VHS players become non existent.

I have a dual boot PC that I have built out of spares for the project and have successfully installed a Hauppage HVR 1300 on the Windows 7 Partition and can capture direct to MPEG.

I also have an old Studio PCTV Rave that I have been trying all day to set up to try and capture lossless using VirtualDub. I spent hours trying to install it and get the Btwincap Drivers working but I think it was conflicting with the Haupagge HVR 1300 so I disconnected it and I have now successfully installed the card, the Pinnacle Drivers and the Btwincap Drivers.

I have the VCR connected SCART to Composite and RCA Audio.

In VirtualDub when I select Capture AVI and select Device/Conextant's BtPCI Capture (Direct Show) the picture is very dark almost black however when I select Device/Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) (VFW) the picture is normal.

Questions:

1. I thought I'd need the BtPCI Device to capture full resolution, that's why I installed it so what's wrong and how do I get a normal capture image.

2. Is the Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32) (VFW) the correct device to use?

3. What settings do I need in virtual dub to get a good capture.

4. Do I need to install the original Studio PCTV Rave Pinnacle Drivers before installing the Btwincap drivers or should I uninstall them?


Thanks
