Thanks for the quick reply. I connect to the dell via my dvi out on the video card directly to my dvi in on the monitor. I use the dvd ready (best) setting for recording. I have tried the snapstream basic, Snapstream/ sp, intervideo noncss, nero dvd, and cyberlink decoders. I don't have a television to try your last suggestion. I could try to connect my 350 to my monitor from the s-video out, but how would I tell BTV to use that output instead?? Thanks.
