No video:
• Check your cable connections to make sure they are secure.
• Verify you are connecting your cables to the ports labeled ‘Output’ on your video player.
• Verify you are only connecting one type of video cable, RCA (yellow) or S-Video.
• Verify the output ports of your video player work by testing them with your television.
• Verify the USB 2.0 VIDBOX capture device is plugged into your computer directly and
not through a USB hub.
• Check your video & audio device settings from the Record Settings control panel (see
Step Two of the Advanced Mode – Capture section).
• Verify your video cable connections setting by clicking the ‘Settings’ button next to the
Video Device listing (see Step Two of the Advanced Mode – Capture section).
• Disconnect additional monitors
Black & White video:
• Verify your video tape was recorded in the same video standard format for your region. If
it was not, see the Converting PAL/NTSC (and other video standards) section in the
appendix.
Pink/Green video:
• Verify you are plugging your capture device into a USB 2.0 port attached to your
computer (avoid using external USB hubs or USB extension cables).
Choppy video:
• Verify your computer meets the programs minimum system requirements.
• Avoid the following actions while recording and burning:
- Locking the workstation.
- Running other applications in full screen mode.
- Running CPU intensive programs.
Distorted lines at top or bottom of screen:
• Clean VCR/camcorder tape heads.
• Adjust VCR/camcorder video tracking.
(These lines are not usually visible on a regular television because a TV typically presents in
overscan mode – causing the edges of the video to be out of view)
