I'm trying to convert some old VHS family videos on to PC for editing in Corel VideoStudio and producing DVDs.
I have a decent VCR player (Sharp VC-MH815) which handles VHS-S videos.
I am connecting from the SCART on the VCR through an EZCAP USB2 Video Capture widget (bought from Amazon) and I was okay using the standard red/white/yellow (composite ?) cables on the SCART adapter but I wanted the best quality possible ...... and that's where my problems are !
I have purchased (for £20+) a decent quality SCART adapter that has the red and white phono type connections but also has an s-video output. I have connected the s-video output (male) into the s-video input (female) on the EZCAP widget and I have a picture on the PC "capture" screen but its in black and white only (it also looks as though it has a lot of interference on it) !
All the settings on the PC software show PAL rather than NTSC so it doesn't appear to be that. It also shows s-video as the source but still black and white only.
The actual VHS tape I'm trying to copy is not a VHS-S tape but I'm assuming that shouldn't cause the issue.
What am I doing wrong and can anybody help here as its doing my head in !!!
