Jer3784 0 Report post Posted January 30 I have used the Roxio VHS To DVD product for a few years. After upgrading to a much nicer computer, the product works almost flawlessly. I am now though running into two problems. First... I am trying to hook my converter up to a TV. I have an old TV where I am able to do direct out and in (AV), and it works fine. Yet when I use a newer TV with HDMI, the normal out and in (AV) doesn't seem to pick up a signal. All I get is a popping noise and no video. Has anyone had any experience using the product to get your TV screen into the Roxio program? Also.. When I unplug the converter after attempting the TV connection, I receive an error, telling me that an unknown problem happened when trying to access private memory. It also informs me that memory might be corrupt. Clicking "okay", the program shuts down. I know my computer memory is fine, as I have no other computer issues. Any ideas? Thanks!

ogdens 85 Report post Posted January 30 What is the make and model # of your new TV?. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Hardin 418 Report post Posted January 30 (edited) Yellow/White/Red is Composite. Red/Green/Blue is Component. Your newer TV will only have Composite and HDMI. Neither of these signals can be processed by the Roxio Video Capture USB device. The Roxio GameCAP Pro will do this, but the HDMI signal into has to be one that has copy protection turned off. PS1 and Xbox provide for this. Before any of us would recommend that to you, we really need to know the specs of your TV, PC and the Video Source you are using. Note that TV's will not have an HDMI out. That signal has to come from elsewhere as they only accept input. Edited January 31 by Jim_Hardin Correcting Labels.

Jer3784 0 Report post Posted January 31 Out of complete curiosity, is there a splitter that exists that would transfer composite to the converter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogdens 85 Report post Posted January 31 (edited) You may not need a "splitter" you new TV may have the correct input. Your TV probably has a shared component and composite video input Need the make and model # of you new TV?. Here is an example of a shared jack: Edited February 1 by ogdens Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim_Hardin 418 Report post Posted January 31 Please note that I got the names mixed in my post. I have corrected that. There is a converter but as to how successful this will be going from a 1920 X 1080 HD signal down to a 720 X 480 SD signal, I can only guess. Also you are not answering any of the questions asked! We couold be answering you with incorrect information based on false assumptions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer3784 0 Report post Posted February 1 This is not a new TV. It just so happens that this TV I never tried hooking up to the converter. The "old" TV (meaning older technology) is a Polaroid all in one TV/VHS/DVD. By plugging into the back AV, I am able to connect the converter to work in all three of those situations (Live TV, DVD, VHS). The one I am having trouble with is a DYNEX from about 6 years ago. I have taken a picture of the ports. I tried the basic Out ports, as well as the off colored ports (Composite?). I also tried the above video ports connected with the other one set of extra audio ports. No go.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimicher 132 Report post Posted February 1 There are no output ports on that Dynex TV that I can see. They all seem to be Input ports Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jer3784 0 Report post Posted February 2 I tried using a converter to provide the output. That didn't work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ogdens 85 Report post Posted February 2 The Dynex TV you have does not have any video OUTPUT jacks, so obviously there will be no OUTPUT. As a test, try using your Polaroid TV/DVD/VHS unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw the Roxio product, but that requires a free HDMI port, which I don't have (HDMI 1 is cable, HDMI 2 is video games). Is there no bootleg way to do with with the VHS To DVD converter to save myself money? If I was to get the video game capture converter, would it run effectively with an HDMI splitter shared between the video game system and converter? I'm being told by employees at Best Buy that my only other option is an (expensive) video capture card. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bimicher 132 Report post Posted February 7 You have been told repeatedly that the Dynex has no output plugs to connect to your VHS2DVD and so it cannot be used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
