I am trying to convert a vhs tape consisting of old circus movie clips from the 1920's using Creator 2009. Sometimes there is a blank section on the VHS tape between the movie clips. The capture function stops when a blank spot appears on the tape. Do I have to reactivate the capture function between every movie clip or is there a way to capture an entire VHS tape then edit out the blank spots on the hard disc copy of the tape?
Thanks,
Dick Britton

This program will not be able to skip those blank spots. You might want to try to capture with Windows Movie Maker. I believe that it will record the entire tape blank spots and all as one file.
You can output the file to a format that Video Wave (Edit Video-Advanced))

You do have to reactivate the capture function.
