My Vhs To Dvd Problem

[tazbat]

Whether I am in the video capture program or the plug and burn program, after activating the capture now function it aborts after 29 seconds. 5 seconds into recording the message, "capture stopping", is displayed and it takes another 15 seconds for it to complete. At this point the vhs tape I am trying to capture is continuing on but the capture has ended. The capture now button is greyed out so I can't restart. If I try going back it won't recognize the dvd disk in the drive and I have to replace it with new before it does. If I stay in the capture window I can only reactivate the capture now button by stopping the tape first. I have removed the whole program and reinstalled it but that made no difference.

An interupt, snow, noise, etc. is often interuptted as End Of Tape...

 

You may have to use the Record-Edit-Save and make multiple recorded files then assemble them later.

Is there no way to disable the End of Tape function? I thought by setting the record time it would do an end run around the EOT sensing function.

The video tape that I am trying to burn to DVD is a recording of an old film and I want all the snow, low tech editing techniques, and other poor qualities that are a part of the movie industry's growing pains. I have many VHS recordings of old documentary films and movies to transfer to DVD.

Maybe that can be a future project for Roxio's engineers. Maybe even an update to install that feature into existing versions of Easy VHS to DVD.

If I "HAVE" to sit and play nurse maid to the program, I will find another program that allows the EOT function to be disabled.

NO!

 

Walt has mentoned that hooking up

 

VCR - DVD Player - Roxio Cap - PC has worked for him...

 

You could try that and let us know.
