Features Advertised For Roxio Easy Vhs To Dvd

[MountainMama]

Yes i have tried multiple tapes that worked on the same VCR minutes prior to hooking it up the computer. i have also used different VCRs and have come up with the same problem. you can hear the tapes but the screen displays 'no video signal'. the Y/W/R cord im using is about 1-2ft long

 

 

I'm having the same problem that he is. I have a Dell Studio with Vista Service Pack 2 installed. I have the connections correctly hooked up, and Roxio's help is nil. Told me 3 times how to hook it up even though I told them that had been done at least 5 times. I am using the S-Video connection, and just read on the net that this is not a good connection for VCR to computer. Why would Roxio say it is preferred? I am really fed up with this program after wasting time and money for 3 days now. I should have believed the reviews on it and not bought it.

Are you aware that there were several vesions of the program. If the screen shots don't look like what is advertised, then you may have a different version. Where di dyou get it.

 

Look at this and come back to tell use what version you have.

Also please let us know your operating system (Windows what) and your make and complter model number of your computer. Not al versions were W7 compatible.

I ordered it from Wal-Mart. Version is: 201B23a ENU or 201B23A VHS both are on the 'about' page. The version on the box says 242500.

I didn't read my manuel, just went to the net with it. Plus I'm not concerned now since I am getting the video. But I am returning the program as there are no editing features in it. Even the clipping thing is not working, or I don't know how to make it work. There is no 'save' so I have to export it every time and it makes another new file. Very difficult program as far as I'm concerned. They need to change the name of it. I have ordered a new program from Honestech that has nothing but good reviews. Roxio's had a lot of bad reviews, but I had never had problems with any of their programs before, so ignored them. I should have paid attention.

 

 

Thanks for getting back to us....good luck with new program.

LOL...don't feel bad. After 4 days of this, I don't know if I'm coming or going. I have a Magnavox DVD/CD Player with Video Cassette Recorder. Model MWD2205.

 

In this model the S-Video output is ONLY used when in DVD mode. The VCR output is only available on the RCA jacks or coaxial connector (page 7 of the user manual)

 

 

 

This is why you are not getting any video into your Roxio USB unit.

I combined the posts from another Topic into this one...

 

It will probably add some confusion but running a second topic within someone else's topic is just plain rude

 

Let's keep it in one place.

[MountainMama]

Sorry, you have 2 post running and I got mixed up....just give me the make and model of your VCR.

From your post #1 above, it is obvious your install is corrupt. How about answering the rest of sknis questions regarding your computer and operating system?

Sorry, didn't see that. I have a Dell Studio running Vista with Service Pack 2. All of the specs of my computer have been verified by Roxio to be capable of running the program. All my drivers have been updated. I never got far enough into the program until this afternoon to discover the features advertised when I bought it were not there. I was too busy/tied up just trying to get it to show the video picture!

It says 201B23A ENU and 201B23a VHS.

 

If you can tell me why the S-video cable didn't work, you will be the first! I tried for 4 days with the tech help from Roxio, and they could tell me nothing except to keep using the S-video connection. I even asked them about what I had read on the net. I finally just did the switch on my own, and it worked. Do you know why all the features are not showing in my program that was advertised for it? I'm really about ready to get my money back on this program and go with another brand.

I don't remember where I found it. I did a search and information about the S-video connection came up. It stated that you could not use this connection from your VCR to your computer without problems. I traded in my cables with that connection, got one with the Composite video connection, and wa la! I now can see my videos. So, I have to figure the information on the net was right, and Roxio saying it was preferred to use the S-video connection is wrong.

 

You still have not told us what version you have.

 

Go here http://forums.suppor...sion-do-i-have/

 

Once we know that, we can probably tell you why your S-Video does not work.

 

I also have used S-video many times and it works just fine. Please get back with the info.

Also make and model # of you VCR.

No you are wrong and so is your information source. S-video will give the best quality and is the preferred method. Anybod y who claims otherwise does not know what they are talking about. You seem to have other problems with your system if you can;t get it to work with S-video.

 

If the composite cables work then thatis what you should use.

[MountainMama]

Where did you read that S-video is not a good connection? It gives the best quality and is the best connection just like Roxio says.

The above is the description advertising this program. Where are they? I have one edit feature and that is to 'clip'. Also, my screens do not look like the ones in their advertising video, hence...I have no editing screens.

 

It took me 4 days to solve the problem on my own about even being able to see my video, and now...I can't edit it like it was advertised? I am really feeling ripped off in more ways than one. On top of the expense of the program, I have had to shell out $33 more dollars on top of it. Anybody know anything about the editing, and why there are no help files with the program?
