In case you still need it...
Thanks Gus, that's basically what I have now. The cable is a bit different but the Honestech software is the same. I finally just abandoned the manual and started pushing buttons and clicking on icons to see what each did. Like a lot of programs, some work a bit different depending on what phase of the program you're in, but after a while I was able to record, edit and burn DVDs that I can actually play on a DVD player.
Most of these programs are difficult to learn, but this one has a manual that only the programmer can understand. Confusing terms, icons that are not even mentioned and instructions that seem to be just plain wrong. :o I have a feeling that the main purpose of doing things this way is to get you to upgrade to a version that they do support better. I found support forums for these upgraded versions, but nothing on this one. Even clicking on "help" only brings you to a copy of the manual, the same one that needs more help than I do.
