    Now heres my problem.

    I have Nero & PVR for doing video capture and have been going along quite happily copying video footage from my camcorder using Composit.

    But now I have some old VHS tapes and decided I would copy them over before the quality goes or the VHS recorder eats the tape.

    I have conected the cables that where going into audio & video out on my camcorder to the audio & video out on the vhs. I get sound but get no picture????

    I have also tried to use a scart attachement to composit Audio in video out wasnt sure if it would work ( and get nothing. )

    Can anybody help me with this issue as I don't have a clue what to do now. The capture / tv card I have does have svcd on it but I have not been able to find a lead that goes from scart or composit to svcd.

    Please help

    Not an expert but have had the same problem. Make sure you have selected the correct input device. It may help to reboot why I don't know but when all else failed that's what worked for me. Are you trying to record from a vcr? You can also try to record thru your tv input if so equipped.

    Select Line In as the audio source in your capturing program.
    Make sure the cable is actually plugged in to the Line In port on your sound card.
