The screenshot of your settings Video page looks good. Check the following:
Assume that you live in the U.S. then the Settings/Analog Video Settings/TV Setup should be NTSC-M. The Yellow video connector connected on both the vcr out and the Diamond. The tapes should not be commercial or otherwise copy protected to be able to be captured with PD15.
The ez grabber software should work and those captures should import to PD15 and PD12 just fine.
Yes, I live in the U.S. Set to NTSC-M. Yellow is on VCR out and on the Diamond. Tapes are not commercial or copy protected.
Capture works fine on same tapes with the Honestech software.
Yes, the e-z grabber software should work, but it doesn't.
Check the properties of the capture device, most have a selection between S-Video and Composite, if you are using the yellow wire, you need to select Composite.
Also the sound comes via the white and red wires.
video from my VCR
Thank you to all those who tried to help me. I had already tried most of the suggestions. Today 2 things happened that now have me able to capture video from my VCR.
1) A new software update was released today for PD15. It did not mention that it had anything to do with using Capture, but I downloaded and installed it. Opened PD15 and Capture was now working.
2) I noticed that i was using the Honestech capture device. I had been using it with VHS to DVD 4.0 to capture video. Sinc it was working, I closed PD15 and attached the OneTouch Video Capture device from Diamond. But it would NOT work to capture video
Since I had previously not been able to Capture video using the Honestech capture device with PD 15 I assume:
a) Todays update corrected something in PD15 that affected capture, and
b) The One Touch Video Capture VC500 device from Diamond is defective. I do not know if they will refund any money or repolace it, but I will ask.
Anyway, I have passed the first hurdle and now can get started figuring out how to use the PD15 Edit materials. I tried the scene slpitter and that is very nice.
Thanks again to all of you who tried to help me.
