the capture driver for your capture device is flagged
or not listed, reload the capture driver as follows:
• Pinnacle drivers: Use the CD to locate and install
the Pinnacle drivers for the card you have
installed.
• Third party drivers: Use the CD that came with
the capture device or call the manufacturer (or
visit their web-site) for the most current driver.
2. If you are capturing from an analog source, make
sure the correct analog type is selected. In the
Diskometer window (in Studio’s Capture mode),
click the left tab to open the fly-out panel of analog
video settings. Select Composite or S-Video as
needed.
If the correct item is already selected, select the
other one, then toggle back to the correct one after a
few seconds. This can help reset Capture mode to
properly detect the input signal.
3. If you are capturing from an analog source, check
your cabling. The cabling should match the
Composite or S-Video setting you selected above. If
possible, try a different cable, tape and VCR to see
if the problem can be traced to one of those
components.
4. Make sure the player heads are clean, and that the
tape is in good condition. Make sure all physical
connections are secure.
5. If you are capturing from an analog source, you
will need to press the play button on the source
deck before capturing – there are no on-screen
controls. If your player is not playing when you
click the Capture button, you will get a Capture
Error.
