Worked Today, Now No Video

[Seriously??]

I've managed to record a few videos, both home made and commercial to DVD before running into a snag. I am able to hear somewhat distorted audio, but nothing but a black screen and 'no video signal". Earlier, when things were functioning, I'd see the "REW" on the screen, etc. Now, nothing. I've gone back to check videos, both home made and commercial, that had played earlier in the day, and they no longer work either. Any advice? Thanks.

We know you are not using ANY commercial DVD's as that is completely illegal and you would not post that on a site that could draw the attention of the FBI...

 

Shut down your PC and turn it back on after a few minutes off so it can cool down.

[Seriously??]

I thought it was legal to record if one is doing it for personal use only and only as a matter of format shift? My mistake. Perhaps this is only overseas that this is allowed so far.. At any rate, so the problem with the no video signal can come from the unit being overheated or something along those lines then?

The Act is displayed HERE if you want to wade through it.

 

Heat can always produce strange results and based on your symptoms, struck me as a good place to start.
