-black screen on capture wizar

the
-put another tape i
-do the same and begin capturin
-it starts capturin

also tried
-using USB and this captures fine but i prefer to use firewir

-re-recording onto the tape (that won't capture
-and the bit where i re-recorded plays bac
-but capturing freezes when it when tape goes on to the previous recordin

-unclicking the "show preview while capturing" butto
-no chang

-it's not the fact that i used a different camera to record co
one tape from a different captures fine but another doesn'
-it's not the system difference (NTSC or PAL) cos both types capture fin

you see why it's such a caboodle and conundrum!!! and i have spent a total of
fourteen hours looking for a solution
