Not a solution, but a warning of a non-solution;
the 'Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge' composite to DV
converter will not recognise c64 video output.

I didn't realise how far off-spec c64 'PAL' was,
and had hoped to use video capture as a high-speed
data transfer option ;).  Alas, it was not to be.

Cheers,
Christopher.
