Problem with PD 16

Have been doing simple conversion of VHS tapes to dvd. Upgraded from 15 to 16, and have installed a new 2TB external HD to save computer space. Most tapes have 3-4 different subjects on them, and I have been capturing and saving each as files on HD. When I try to edit, (open file) it shows file being loaded and asks if i want to merge it to the library. regarles of response, it shows file being opened, (green progress bar), buit NOTHING on the story board. It shows a top og screen that the file and it's location is there.
I hope this explains my problem, as I am a NOVICE at this.

You need to post the MP4 file. not .mrk file. the mrk is the mouse clicks. MP4 (usually very large) is the actual video capture. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

Well that was a nice screen capture that did not show what I wanted to see. Did you select the video and drag it down to the timeline? I didn't see that you did. It does take some time. With 4:3 and VHS type input, you do not need shadow files unless your computer is woefully underpowered.

I would have liked to see a short section of the original capture. Do you have one available? I want it raw from the capture and not from being edited anywhere.

I did not see the green progress bar Are you sure you don't have the shadow files activated? If so, the bar has to go all the way before you will see anyything on the timeline.

Using Windows, If you right click on one of the files and go to details, can you post a screen shot of that?

What device are you using to do the capture. Most will do mpg2 and AVI. I don't know of any that will do mpg4.

Carl may be attacking your problem another way so we may be asking a lot of the same and a few different questions. .

I'm using a Diamond VC500 video capture device. the video doesn't show up in the menu to ber draggeddown to the timeline. At the very top of the screen, it shows the file name, but the timeline is blank. I will attempt another capture of the problem and re send.
