No Video Signal

[stoneyv1]

Getting message "NO VIDEO SIGNAL" when trying to copy VHS to DVD. I have white, red composite cords plugged into the "dvd/vcr" audio out and the yellow cord plugged in video out on the DVD/VCR player. The other end of the cords are plugged into the Roxio USB capture. The USB capture is plugged into the computer. THe DVD/VCR player is plugged into an A/C outlet.

When I go to "Record, EDIT and Save" I give the the future recording a name and a time. I put the VHS tape in and press play and the display window keep flashing 'No Video Signal.The 'Record' button is grayed out. What else do I need to do to copy VHS to DVD? I am using WinXP Service Pack 3, HP Pavillion Windows Media Center.

Someone else just realized that they had the wires plugged into the input side on their DVD/VCR. Double check. Do not use a front computer USB port or a HUB.

 

The best way to check the wires are correct is to see if you can get a signal on a TV using those same connections.

 

It often help is you supply the make and model of the VHS/DVR and some information on your computer (at least model number).

rechecked the wires, they are plugged into the back of the vhs/dvr player.

Was using a front USB port. Changed to a back USB port, same message.

VHS/DVD Player: Magnavox model 2205

Computer: HP Pavillion a1600n

TV: Samsung T200HD (does not have composite inputs) Has Component HDMI, DVI-D, PC,

Restarted computer.

Video finished and rewound itself.

Display box in ROXIO went blank.

Started record process over again and NOW recording.

 

See a picture in display box and hear sound.

 

Your post help resolve this problem.

Thank You

OK,it seems like you didn't do anything but change the USB port and reboot. Glad it is working now.
