I began using our video camcorder to record the film from our old cassettes. Due to the provided plug sockets on our camcorder, we used a cord with 1 yellow plug, and 1 black plug, to connect to the yellow and either one of the red/white plugs on the Roxio USB. Both the audio and imagery were perfect, so we begun recording straight away and left in running for the full 3 hours of recorded video on the single cassette. Once all was recorded, I replayed sections of the recorded video and knew it wasn't right. Both the audio and film were glitchy and jumped annoyingly quick. I thought once altered with the audio and stabilisation options, and then exported, it would produce the video expected and would run completely smoothly. But evidently after the over-night export, the video quality remained the same.
Frustrated over all the time wasted, I thought to put that aside and experiment with an old home video VCR. Following all the right instructions (and double checking hoping we had a better outcome from the first), we connected the red, white and yellow cords from the VCR player into the Roxio USB. The audio sounded immediately, but the 'No Video Signal' message continued to flash, and did so for the whole 45 minutes we tried everything imaginable to enable the video source to connect. Giving up we thought to just try connect the cord with 1 yellow plug, and 1 black plug (originally used on the camcorder) to see what would happen. Remarkably it worked, both the audio and video connected successfully and we were able to begin recording from the VCR. However, once the VCR had finished and I was about to export, the same glitching and jumping audio/film was evident. By this point I had no idea what to possibly do, and was very frustrated by the thought I had wasted money on something thought to be such an awesome product.
Brainstorming on what we think we may not be doing right is the cord we are using. Obviously its 1 yellow plug matches perfect with the yellow plug on the USB, however the black plug we tend to just alternate with the red and white and hoped for the best. Each time though we found for whatever reason it worked perfectly fine, until the record button was hit of course and the video produced were simply jolting every few seconds and overall very unpleasant to watch.
