I'm using Roxio's VHS to DVD 3 Plus. And I too am getting VCR Audio on my laptop but no Video. Please reference the attached pictures.

 

My Roxio video capture device is connected to my laptop via a USB 2.0 port.

 

Red & White Audio cables, and an S-Video adaptor connect the Roxio device to my VCR.

 

I installed from the CD, hooked everything up, then ran the software.

 

I've also reinstalled/repaired the software several times with no improvement.

 

I've tried all the USB ports and that didn't help.

 

I followed Jim's advice but that did not resolve the issue.

 

Unplug the EVD capature device and place in another room.

Turn off any Anti Virus and Firewall

Insert the software disc and run Install. It will reach a point where Repair is offered. Choose that!

At the end, reboot and go get the Capture Device.

 

 

Can anyone help?

Have you verified that the VCR is outputting a good signal. Hook the VCR directly to your TV. If your TV does not have a S-Video connection use a regular Composite cable (Yellow/Red/White).

[BamaPU]

Yes the VCR has a good signal. I was able to watch/hear the VHS tape on my TV just fine. My TV doesn't have an S-Video connection, so I had to use the composite cables to the TV.

Try another source, DVD/Camcorder .

[Jim_Hardin]

It looks as though the hookup is right...

 

It sounds as though you did not get the Driver properly installed.

 

Unplug the EVD capature device and place in another room.

 

Turn off any Anti Virus and Firewall

 

Insert the software disc and run Install. It will reach a point where Repair is offered. Choose that!

 

At the end, reboot and go get the Capture Device.

 

Let us know

 

(note - this is a bit of a shortcut based on a hunch due to your time constraints. I would prefer to troubleshoot a little deeper before offering a "solution")

[BamaPU]

I don't understand what you mean. I don't have a Camcorder.

I just changed out the S-Video adaptor and used the yellow video cable instead and it worked. Unfortunately the video was much worse than watching it on my TV.

 

Any ideas why it's not working using the S-Video adaptor?

[Jim_Hardin]

Since your TV did not have an S-Video input, that part of your problem has never been tested... It is possible the S-Video output of your VCR isn't working. Not probable, but possible.

 

To test the output of your VCR you must find a device that accepts S-Video. One the other hand find another device that outputs S-Video so you can test your your Roxio Capture device.

 

A different approach is to figure out why your Composite video is so bad...

 

First, WHERE is it bad? The preview pane of the software is reduced quality so if it looks bad there, it doesn't matter! Dose the captured file itself look bad when you play it? (Record - Edit - Save)

 

Or is it bad after you output it to ~ Computer, DVD, et al?
