The connections on the supplied leads are no good in the UK as most video recorders etc use Scart. I have purchased a Scart to S-Video and sound phone connector and tried to use this, still no luck.
I seem to be able to get sound but the video screen on S-Video says "No Signal".
When I check the sound its fine and if I go forward to burn then go back to video, I see the movie for about 5 seconds in grainy B&W then it goes back to "No SIgnal"

I hope I have not wasted a lot of cash on this and that I can find a way from someone to make this work in the UK using a Scart adapter.

Thanks

the usb extension is not working and not being recognized at all. I have to take it off, thereby taking up 2 usb ports!!

is this common

is there a solution

do you have replacements

this isn't the usual extension I have been looking on the net for a quick buy and replacement, and they are just longer usb extensions, the ends are not the same

so

what is the extact name of this extension.

thank you, I see the prior poster hasn't gotten a reply I hope they have staff here and we get responses

Thanks, I already bought one very like this from Maplins with an S-Video connector in lieu of the yellow RCA.
I have also tried the scart connector and leads I got with my cam corder, its got the 2 phono and RCA, still no signal.
I am beginning to wonder if I have a faulty product? Is it normal for the ROXIO black converter unit to get hot?

I am hoping someone from Roxio can come on here and trell me what to do, or why they sell a US product in the UK, where connectivity is incompatible apparently

Yep – hot as firecracker

You need to work on your anger management, it will get you no where fast

I'm using a SCART adapter plugged into the back of the VHS,and not having any problems.(I'm in the UK,btw).
My adapter has a switch (Output-Input) switched to Output,and the 3 RCA cables plug straight into the adapter.
It looks rather more like this one-Amazon

The adapter you highlight has female sockets, as has the Roxio product. are you using male/male adaptor leads?

Looks like I may have solved this! I took the Scart adapter back to Maplins and swapped for another, it now works. Seems like I must have had a dodgy connector.
Phew, Thanks to everyone for their help and responses, anger fully under control now Jim

That is good!

I feared you were on the verge of running naked thought the streets holding your MAC above your head!!!

Think of what that would do to the children

Interesting twist, that it was a hardware problem in the chain of pieces between the source and the HDD… Good thinking to take that back!

I have a problem with connectivity too. I bought new RCA leads for the audio/video feed and also an S-Video lead. When trying to use the S-Video lead it doesn't play the video, but the RCA lead does. However, I have a big problem with what is being recorded - see my post on Garbled video/sound. Could this be part of my problem??

As this doesn't work properly I'm not wasting more time on it and am sending it back to the online store that I bought it from

It seems your not the only one, I too have compressed/dropped frame syndrome. It looks like there is a V 1.0.3 out soon so maybe hold on and at least give that a try out.
My videos have waited for yonks to be preserved, a few more weeks wont matter
