TV Video Capture Help!

Ok, so today I bought Pinnacle PCTV Pro (100$ @ best buy) and I just installed it, and I think it’s great.

Im taping off a VCR, so i know im not actually gonna get VCD quality … but for some reason, the sound is REALLY low. I went into the sound control panel and made every sound unmuted and turned it waaaaaay up, but it’s still no good.

also, is it me, or is the file size big? I captured about 1.22 worth of video, and it came out to 13mb? is that alright?

what programs do you use to capture your video? im using the one that came with it, so I’m asking for any suggestions.

Thank you kindly. :hr:
