Is anyone aware of a tutorial/guide on this programme. Bought it yesterday and struggling a bit.

I searched the internet, but couldn't get anything. I have the guide that comes with the programme.

The first thing I want to do, is to capture old video footage that was taken from 8mm film. (I still have the VHS C cassettes) (Those 8 mm films I don't have anymore). I will connect it to a TV card, play and then capture those on 15/16 fps and then see if I can change it to PAL speed (25 fps).
After that I will play a bit with the Virtualdub filters. (I used the deflickering filter in the past- did not work too well)

Let me rephrase it:
1. Previously, I used a VHS C camcorder and still has it. I captured old 8mm films with that camera, but they came out all flickering. I do not have those films anymore. I used Virtualdub to improve the quality, but no major luck.

a. I now want to do the following: Play those VHS C cassettes (I will temporarily install a TV card). The speed on PAL will therefore be 25 fps. I want to capture on 15/16 fps on Capturix, because my feeling is the flickering will then be gone. I am actually totally unsure about all the settings, especially now I will have AVI that was captured on 15 fps, but I want to play it at 25 fps.
Having said all that, please help me with my set-up from camcorder to PC to the settings on the Capturix programme. After I have a decent AVI, I will do some sharpening, etc with Virtualdub.

Thanks for any advice, and possibly help with the settings

Has anyone experience to use this programme, especially to change frame rate as I have explained?

I looked at the "official" guide, but there was nothing in it about changing frame rate.

Any advice will be useful, or if someone knows of any other sites I might try or any people that know the programme to contact me; anything will help

Thanks
Albie

If you don't get an answer, it either means you didn't wait long enough, and here you have bumped after less than two days, or nobody here has any experience of that software. I've never seen it discussed here, so I suspect the latter option is true.

I just want to suggest that you might want to consider various free capture program options, which would probably do the video capture job just as well as using the program you have, plus there would be a lot more support and guides for them.

Visit this link first and read the description:
