I have a Dell Movie Studio Plus, and I'd really like to be able to hook it up to my VCR and watch movies, full-screen, with audio. No actual capturing, just one long "preview" if you will.
But you can't do that with the included Roxio VideoWave Movie Creator. Or Windows Movie Maker. Or VirtualDub. Or VRtainment CapturePad. Or, or... Zwei-Stein!
I know that the Movie Studio Plus hardware is capable – the specifications mention “Playback Resolution TV: Full Screen (NTSC and PAL), Monitor: up to Full Screen†It's a software issue.
My friend used to have a Matrox Marvel G400-TV, and I distinctly remember being able to watch VHS tapes on her monitor without having to record anything to her hard drive first. So I know this isn't a doomed quest, I just don't know where the holy grail is.
Did I just compare digital video to a holy Christian relic? Obviously, this is taking a toll on my mind. But come on! Why do all these programs limit me to postage stamp-sized previews with no audio? O_o
