Black Screen In Preview Window

[Joycelyn]

I believe I have captured a video from VHS. It appears in file explorer and I can play it from there (windows media player). However, in the Roxio software (V2D3Plus) it is listed in the right column with a correct video length, but the thumbnail is black. The preview screen is also black. Pressing the play button shows nothing except black in the preview window although the "rewind" and back buttons will become active.

The thumbnail and preview screen may well be black depending on what your first frame contains. If the 1st frame is blank then that is what you would expect. Is there any change in the preview window if you move the cursor lets say to the middle? How long do you play the video before you decide it is all black?

When played in WMP do you get video right away or is there a black screen at the beginning for a while?
