Well, you have to have an image that is perfectly still for around 10 seconds for DCTV to digitize it. If you have a 4 head VCR, then the pause button should work fine. If otherwise, I have no idea. The CamCorder can be used to digitize still life like tables, pots, etc. but it can't be blowing in the wind. My suggestion is to have a 4 head, jitter-free VCR, and recor what you want to with the camcorder then put the tape into the VCR and pause it where you want the image, then digitize away!
