How is the audio/video sync? I've used USB capture cards in the past. The audio and video never stayed in sync.

I have tried this device many times but never noticed any async audio with video. I think the delay could be caused by the codec which you used. There is a chance that your PC cannot encode video fast enough and that cause the delay.

I am having the same problem with audio out of synch with the video. Would appreciate knowing if anyone has an answer.

Every once in a while the TV seems to suddenly be out of sync. Not real often, but it does happen. I have a cable box hooked to it with an HDMI cable. Changing the channel, up one and back down for instance, syncs everything back up. I have to wonder if the audio or the video signal path inside the TV is the real problem. (All the motion processing, etc.) This by the way is using the TV audio. I don't recall it happening through home audio system but I'm not saying it hasn't either. Anyway I'm hoping a software update will fix this down the line.

Check out the threads on avsforum.com and you should find a solution to your problem. I'm using the 705 with Cox cable box and Netflix streaming (Roku) inputs and have had NO audio sync issues but have seen some reports of them on the website I referred you to. Cheers

Same problem i have faced... the higher resolution video is jerky (stutters) while being played on a very fast computer. I tried copying it to my hard drive so that SD-Memory card reading lag time is been reduced, but to no benefit.

Yes it has an option to record audio also. The audio quality is very good but I don't record it, only video. Mine records in a loop just fine. (It continues to record over the oldest recording on card when it is full)

It wont stay synced...I loose connection at least once every 3-5 minutes and I am extremely close to the computer. I have an Mac so not sure if that is the issue or not...cant find any help online.

Actually, I have a laptop that reads an SD card. It is easy to just plug the card into my laptop and it plays the video. I have mine set to record when movement is detected. That setting is under the plate on the back. It overwrites the oldest recording when it needs to have more space. I just watch it when I suspect foul play. It worked right out of the box for me. Clay

I haven't. I had to return it to Amazon as I could not get either the camera or the microphone to work. I have replaced it with another camera/microphone which works perfectly. I do not know if it was a defect in that particular unit or an incompatibility with my system software or hardware. My business is Data Processing consulting and I know a lot about the hardware and software on my PC and could not get it to work at all, so after many different trials, I gave up and purchased a similar but different unit and it worked the first time. No trouble at all.

Hi Rob - can you elaborate, what kind of syncing issues? How long are your cable runs? Have you checked your cabling?

The sound and picture usually get out of sync because of a slow processor speed, or, other tasks that use the same resources needed by the VC500. I have a HP desktop with 16GB of RAM. The VC500 works great in that environment but if I try to listen to a CD, play a game with sound, or watch another video while recording, it can cause the recording to be choppy or out of sync. I installed it on my laptop as well but I can't do anything else on the laptop while recording to maintain DVD quality in the recorded file. Hope this helps!

Mine is sitting in the junk room. Most of the time the audio came through just fine for me. My issues was that sometimes the audio was so far out of sync it wasn't even watchable. It's a great concept, but a total POS in reality. Like Clayton said, try updating the drivers and see if that helps. I gave up on mine though. A 15' HDMI cable is cheaper and way more reliable.

While I can't speak for this card specifically I can vouch for the fact that your theory works. I've done as much with most basic capture cards. Just make sure that you have multiple video outputs on your graphics card and connect one to your monitor and loop back to the capture device through a second output. The card should appear in your recording software as a capture device and I've used it to record full screen video, capture PC game play and once even live-streamed my PC desktop to a website.

If the previous solutions didn't help, I recommend that you start at the beginning. Do you have good cables, try swapping the red and yellow at both ends so you are using the red for video and yellow for audio. Make sure that you do have the connections correct video out to video in. Make sure you have the USB plugged into a good USB port, it supplies the power. Without power the audio may work but the video won't. If you can try to connect to a different device or input to make sure it is not the TV or whatever that is having the problems. If still having problems email me.

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Scott, glad you found the post useful. I believe the Wii's max resolution is 480p, so there's some conversation going on, maybe? Like you I don't really understand the details on this stuff. I do know that I haven't had problem at all with audio and video being out of sync using the 720.

No problems what so ever with audio. It just may be a glitch. It happens. Good luck!
