I am trying to capture VHS tapes with PD 11 Ultra.

I have captured many with little problem but today i captured 2 tapes with no difficulty. However with the dsme connections that always worked I find that I am geting audio coming through but suddenly no video.

The tapes work fine with the VCR connected to a tv, therefor that is not the problem.

Can anyone give me any suggestions.

Thanks for your help

Perhaps you have lost or changed the video input source.

This appears after clicking the Settings Button in the capture module ( lower Right ).

Thanks Carl for quick answer

As usual I get weird problems. Settings are fine as I can capture tapes. It is only 2 tapes tht only give audio but no video. (they work fine with same VCR on tv).

Interestingly when I press the button to stop capture a picture flashes on for an instant so there is a connection.

Did anyone else ever have this problem

Try capturing that same tape with another software.

Windows Movie Maker works sometimes when Powerdirector does not.
There is also several capture software programs if you search for them.
