I use an HP Windows Vista Desktop. I get as far as "Capture Now" it is not highlighted, so I get nothing when I click on it. HELP

Also when I play a video to transfer the image quality on the computer screen and burned DVD is awful; lighting, color, contrast is all off. Help?

 

Thanks

Version? (see the post I pinned at the top)

 

Operating System?

 

So you could capture before?

 

Tell us more about your Source tapes – one color problem is when trying to capture Copy Protected commercial tapes.

I am trying to capture a homemade video of a TV cooking show. I also tried an older video: Legend . I was able to capture on the XP version of Easy VHS when I still had XP. Thanks and I'll also take a look at your other post

I am going to guess you have the 1.2.198 version as opposed to the newer 201B…

 

First thing is to pin down the problem with capture. For testing, can you hook it up to another source, such as a TV or camcorder. See how that looks.

 

You can make adjustments at the time you capture but they are <i>Blanket</i> and will apply to the entire capture. That means if you have a rough spot on your tape and adjust settings to compensate, those same adjustments will be applied to all of the capture.

 

An alternate (better?) approach is to make the adjustments after capture using <!--coloro:blue--><span style="color:blue"><!--/coloro-->Edit Video<!--colorc--></span><!--/colorc--> (VideoWave) then use that adjusted clip…

 

Digital Guru, I get as far as Capture Now but it is not highlighted so I don't even get a spinning circle if I click on it. I use Windows Vista Desktop, what am I doing WRONG?

Without knowing the Version not much we can offer - there are 3 different versions…

 

Also, while you are getting that, open your Device Manager and with the USB device plugged in, see if these 2 entries are present:

 

Hopefully with that, we will know where to go
