Techie Help Please

Post by planeterotica »

I need some techie help please, when i load old vhs film on to my comp via a Win TV usb capture device it only captures in black and white, this has only started to happen since i changed computers it captured ok on my old comp, i thought it was the capture device at fault so i purchased another one exactly the same model but it still only captures b/w i have also changed the leads and have used a vhs and dvd recorder to play up the films but its still the same, but when i load film from my digi-cam the colour is fine so its not the graphic card i dont think ? i would be greatfull of any suggestions, thanks in advance for any advice !happy!

What OS are you using? XP home? XP Pro? XP-MCE? Vista?

Also another thing is to check you caputuring in 'pal' because if your caputuring pal, but the settings are set to NTSC you will get black and white...

OK well I had a look, and its not as apparent as it should be... I narrowed it down to 2, and I even went so far as to download one of the driver packs myself to see if there was a 'readme' file in it... But no... Nothing...

So Im NOT gonna advise you any further myself, but I would suggest that you contact customer support, (On the left of the driver page) and get them to tell yah...

Sorry I cant be more specific, but I dont wanna tell you the wrong thing...

I will again advise you to check that your capturing in PAL and not NTSC :)
