Page 9 of the user manual said that “The required software (drivers and applications) must first be
installed before you plug in the device.” Hope you did that to avoid continual problems.
See this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii_0Qhon6Ys&t=2s . Others have been successful and use the Silver Crest USB video grabber from Lidl. The windows 10 drivers version is a2 not version 1.0.
I followed the instructions in the booklet when I installed the software. As I am using Windows 10, is it possible to update it to version 2 ? Should I uninstall and begin again ?
I don't have your device but the problems with drivers are more likely than not. The drivers are for the device and not for Windows.
Please answer the question about plugging the device in BEFORE you installed the proprierary drivers for that device. Did you get a disc or a link to download the drivers for that device?
There is a sort of multistep process to change the drivers. You must remore the device, uninstall the driver, reboot, install the driver that came with the device, reboot and only then plug in your device.
Herein may lie the problem then. The device I am trying to capture from is a Sony Handycam Video 8 which uses magnetic tape cassettes and is not digital. I doubt such things as drivers even existed when it was new. There is no S-video socket but it has yellow Video out and Black Audio out. I thought the idea of the Video Grabber was that it would take Analogue and digitise it onto the PC meaning I can download all my old home movies

The third button on the top left, capture from a TV signal must be highlighted and clicked to make it active.
I don't have the Capture from a TV Signal option - only the ones listed in my previous reply.

Be sure, in Capture, the setting is for Composite, not "s" video.
When I click on Capture the Icons for Capture from a DV Camcorder, HDV Camcorder and CD are not highlighted. Only Capture from a Webcam, Microphone and External / Optical Device are highlighted and therefore detected by the software.

Please supply the name and exact version number of the software that you are using to capture the analog video. Let us know how you got the software and if is is an oem version. Which windows version are you using?
Hi Tomasc, thanks for replying.
About PowerLink Director tells me it is Power Director12, Power Director DE 12.05.4614
The software came with SilverCrest USB Video Grabber which i bought in Lidls towards the end of 2017
On the CD it states USB Video Grabber SVG2.0 A3 Software and Drivers, USB Video Grabber CD Rom 2741261 - Version 1.0
I am using Windows 10
Hope this helps

I bought the Silver Crest USB video grabber from Lidl to transfer old 8mm Video8 films to my PC. I have installed the software etc and it all appears to be working but when I click "Capture" it goes to the on board PC camera and doesnt seem to recognise any other device. The camera/player I am using is a Sony Handycam Video 8 and I have connected the yellow and white leads. There is no S-Video socket.
Any suggestions please ??
Chris
