Awhile back, I transferred numerous VHS tapes onto dvd's using Roxio's Easy VHS to DVD software and USB analog capture device.

I am now attempting to edit these dvd's with PD13, install titles and transition points, etc. The problem is, under the capture feature in PD13, I can not record or capture anything, even though the icon for the optical device is highlighted. The "play" feature will play the contents of the video with no problem. (on a side note, PowerDVD will also play the dvd's}

When i press the "record" button, a pop up window is displayed with the title "extracting" . But it quickly, within 3 to 5 seconds, disappears. I have searched in the PD13 folder and found a file with the name "capturexx" corresponding to the date and time I attempted the capture. But neither PD13 nor Powerdvd with recognize or use this file. The file is usually a few KB's in size.

The capture preferences show the titles and other info regarding the dvd, export size, number of titles, disc type, disc format, etc.

According to Roxio, the video file format they use in their software is mpg.

Any idea on what is going on? Am i doing something wrong? Can you help?
