All you that have been trying to use Capdvhs to record from you Scientific 8300hd with a firewire. I have captured a full HD program from my dvr to pc/laptop using the drivers for the 8300 and a program called TSREADER. It captured in full resolution/audio into a mpg format. An hour has become about 5 to 6 gigs for video. I only capture certain videos. I will only do this for programs I want to keep for future reference due to the size of the file. I know I can use other programs to cut the size down and all but Its not that important to me
