linemanwife Posted September 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Try a different source like a DVD Player please.. No luck yet. I did some more researching. It turns out my old camcorder from the year 2000 needs to be connected through a firewire. Win 7 does not work with this old technology. Now looking into connecting my old XP with the firewire. Trying to preserve my old videos are becoming a real mission impossible. Thanks for all your help and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't red/white audio, yellow component video, or S-Video, self explanatory? Look at the VHS and camcorder they should be color coded the same..

Since finding the version I have installed the update that goes with this version. Still no change - capture does not highlight.

Now that we know what V2D version your running, what operating system are you running and service packs on your PC? Is this a laptop or desktop pc? Have you tried a rear USB connection, no USB hub or USB extension cord? Click on the link below and scroll down to "Device manager and drivers for each device."

cdanteek Posted September 5, 2010 Report Share Posted September 5, 2010 Capture device shows the usb 2861. Connected through composite. What does that mean? Under the blue video button, in the pic above, click the down arrow it has to show what my pic shows, Roxio Video Capture USB. Can you do that? Then turn on the VHS or Camcorder and see if the Capture Now button Highlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is you problem then! The two pics below show what you should show with your version of V2D and W-7.. Try this open the program on the Home Page, up top, Help, Check for updates, run that, what happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
