Ok, I may be overlooking something mentioned above, and apologize if I have. Here is my problem. I have taken video on my Samsung galaxy S5 which is mp4 and 29.97 frames. The video looks great when I initially import it to PD12. When I drop it into the timeline and/or produce the video, it is blocky, and very distorted. I've tried several output formats and toggled the drop frame to on and off and always produce the same undesirable results. Any suggestions?

Thank you both for your replies and links. After reading hours of forums It appears I know very little about video capture because I have been doing it for so many years with sub-par equipment and knowledge. Not that I really "know" anymore now, I am getting the impression that my initial capture should be to a highest quality, lossless file? It appears that the more cleaning I can do in the device before the computer, the better my end result would be? In that case the ADVC300 seems to be the best choice for me. And even if the TBC cannot be turned off on the 300, it does not seem to negatively affect the capture even if TBC is not needed. Of course the 300 is no longer being produced which puts be on the ebay hunt. I don't want to get too off topic, but would .AVI be the lossless format to capture to? Does PD12 capture permit me to do this? I can't test it without a working device plugged into my computer with PD12.
thank you again very much,
-David

Thank you Rocket-Scientist for the information. I am wondering, what is the difference between the ADVC 300 by Canopus and the ADVC110 by Grass Valley which is shown at the following website: http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc110
They appear to be the same product. I really like what I'm hearing about the 300, I just prefer something compatible with windows 7. Also, not finding any site to purchase the 300 other than ebay at the moment.
Thanks, David.

Thank you both for the response. The ADVC 300 looks interesting. Does anyone know if it works with PD12 and Windows 7?

Hello, my name is David and I am relatively new to Powerdirector. A Trial of version 8 came with my computer when I bought it a few years ago, but its capabilities were limited to I bought the latest version a few weeks ago. My computer is an HP model p6703w. I am running Windows 7 home premium. In the past I have heavily used an ADS Tech DVDXPRESS DX2 capture device with the supplied Ulead editing software, unfortunately this is not compatible with windows 7. I would like to purchase a capture card, or USB capture device, to use with my newer HP computer and capture directly to Powerdirector 12. Most of my current projects are capturing video from vintage Betamax tapes so analog RCA inputs are a must. I would appreciate any suggestions for a quality device that would work well with Windows and Powerdirector 12.
