So, I'm trying to capture my old vhs tapes from my vcr into my computer. On
the capture screen i click start capture and it seems to be capturing, the
preview plays the video and audio just fine. I thought it was capturing the
movie then after about 30 min i thought i'd stop capture and save it. When I
tried to play the what i had just captured the clip playin in movie maker and
windows media player showed the clip as being 30min, but wasn't playing any
video or audio just a black screen. I just remember another problem. In the
preview window it showed the how many minutes of film had been captured, but
on estimated video size it only said 5k and was not moving. Sorry this was a
long post. any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
