Hi all,

I have kinda an odd question here. I have a Pinnacle 500-USB device which converts analog inputs into USB. I bought it to convert my old VHS tapes to DVD, but I had an idea: What if I hook up an antenna to my VCR and use the VCR to output that to the Pinnacle device? So I tried that, and it works fine - in Pinnacle studio's tiny preview window. Is there any software I can use that will let me view the video being captured from that device in full screen - i.e. let me watch whatever is coming out my VCR?

Thanks
