HI, not sure if this is in the right forum, but Im wondering if its possible to capture the TV signal from the TV using a scart to composite onmection to my Windows laptop?. Im kinda answering my own question as I know it is possible to do this and capture a signal using the capture device I have (a Climax Digital capture device) with the scart connected to the scart input of the TV and and yellow, red and white comp cables connected to the USB capture device to the USB input of my laptop/s. A while back I tried this and was able to capture video into one of video capture programmes I have (though many of them dont do a very good job at capturing smooth video); I was even able to hook up a Betamax video to a modern HD TV and capture the video using the same process. But yesterday I tried to do this when opening the capture software (in this case Debut capture, VLC and one or two other programmes like VirtualDub), but for some reason I was either getting no signal, a signal.with vertical lines or a.message saying "capture device not recognised". As far as Im.aware I havent needed to.install.any drivers for the capture device, although the capture device was initially installed on my older Windows Vista laptop. I know I have tried to capture an input from the TV using the above methods and it has worked, but now Im getting nothing.
The laptop Im using is a Toshiba Satelitte running on Windows 8.1 (64 bit).
Any help would be appreciated.
