Hi, I'm having trouble with video capture from my vcr to h/drive. Video is fine, but no audio is. Suggestions?

Play the video with sound first, if you got screen and sound, then you have no hardware connection program.\nIf hardware, check cable, sound card, plug, socket, on both ends, try it on other pc if you can\nIf not hardware, then is software, you have to check the platform sound control, the capture software setting etc.\nUpdate of sound driver to the latest is a must before the software test.

There are a few different options.\n\n1) DVD-RW/VCR combo set top.\nThis should be fairly simple to set up. Much like connecting a dvd or vcr player to the tv.  If you're not as computer savvy i'd recommend this option.\n\n2)DVR-RW burner & capture card/device for your computer.\nThis option is a bit morecomplex due to the fact that you will have to connect your vcr to the capture device which is connected to the computer.  Import the video to some software..lets say Microsoft Movie Maker.  Edit the video, taking out portions you don't want.  THe finally use dvd-movie burning software to create the dvd disc (nero would work well).\n\nSo again... option 1 is the easiest to go with.\nHope this helps.

download gspot.\n\nIt will identify the codecs used in the film, and tell you why it is not working, and what you need to fix it.\n\nI discovered Gspot a few years ago and I can't go without it now.

You are probably missing the correct codec - decompression software.  Try the link below.

You could recompress it with a different codec and/or data rate.  VirtualDub is good , free, and easy to use.\n\nhttp://www.virtualdub.org/

Try this: get a codec.\n\nAn example is the Divx codec.

1. are your audio/video cards working properly? \n\n2. have you formatted your pc recently? if so, are you sure that your audio/video drivers are installed successfully?\n\n3. are you using the proper media player to see or hear the videos or sounds: that is, some players are not compatible with certain audio or video formats..\n\n\nthink about these...

This question was answered here, but I will post the answer here again for your convienience, slightly modified.\n\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuGGcEWJPSzIwL6GmdwiYJbsy6IX?qid=1006052646934\nTO expand:\n\nFirstly you need a video capture card. Most of the newer cards come with a PVR or other kind of recording application.\n\nyou may have various options for connecting your VCR to your Capture card depending on the VCR and the Capture card.\n\nIf you are using a normal RF you will have to set the channel into the software you are using just like you would set a televison to pick up signals from the vcr. Your Camera will probably allow you to out put the video and audio to ordinary RCA cables. \n\nIf the capture card has an composite input and and adapter to accept accept RCA ( i am thinking how mine works, it may vary), then you can attach the video out RCA to the composite using a standerd RCA cable. For the audio you would connect the the audio out to your sound card or video capture card depending on your software recorders sound input and recording settings. You can get a mini jack to rca cable from an electronics store, my VCR has stero ou so i use a DUAl RCA to mini-jack cable. If your camera has a steareo RCA outs to male plugs you will need to get a FEMALE to FEMALE connector for each point (some call it a joiner) so you can plug your camera RCA  into the RCA to  mini jack\n\nBefore you start recording you may need to set a capture profile. If you have a really good PC you can capture at full frame MPEG2. You must also specify the capture size, frame rate and bitrate( i prefer constant but variable will do). The higher the bitrate the better the quality and the more space you are going to need.\n\nMy profil is set as follows: MPEG2, 3000kbps constant bitrate, 720x576, 25 fps (thats PAL, for NTSC set it to 720x480 and 23.97 or 29.97, i am not sure what the correct frames is for NTSC but it's one of theose).\n\nAUDIO: 192kbps Mpeg2. (you can set higher if you like).\n\nWith the above profile a 30 minute video takes up just over 1.3 gigabytes of space.\n\nI dont reccommend recording directly to a lternative compressed format like Divx/xvid. MPEG 2 will tak alot of space.\n\nIn your recording software, put it on the channel or input you wish to record. Press play on the VCR/camera and then Record in the software at the place you want to start recording. when it's done stop recording.\n\nYour dvd writer should have come with the neccasary software to convert the resulting video to a DVD. Some of these packages can capture the video directly into the application, so check out our software first. A little bit of the information should be available with the manual of your dvd-writer. These days they put that on the driver disk.\n\nI hope that helps you.

I don't want to be Fellini. I just want to transfer aging VHS tapes of classic horse races to a more stable medium. Creative Labs seems to have read my thoughts in designing its USB-based Video Blaster MovieMaker video converter.\n\nConnecting the device to your video source--camcorder, VCR, or whatever--and to your PC is easier than plugging a VCR into a cable TV converter box because you don't have to bother with any coaxial cable. Simply run the three color-coded RCA cables (left audio, right audio, and video) from the source's output to the front of the MovieMaker, and then run the USB cable from the back of the Video Blaster to your PC's USB port. \n\nI loaded the device's drivers without a hitch, and within minutes, I was watching Sunday Silence outduel Easy Goer--again--in the stretch of the 1989 Kentucky Derby, this time on my PC. The converter box has S-Video and microphone ports, too.\n\nOnce you've converted your analog video to digital format, software bundled with the $200 MovieMaker lets you edit your videos, add sound and titles, and introduce basic transitions and other effects. In my tests with a shipping unit, the Video Blaster Control software let me readily adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness (though I wish it had provided numerics with its controls for more precise adjustment). \n\nYou also can limit the unit's recording time; select among Video CD, MPEG-1, or MPEG-2 as your output file format; and choose from four video quality settings (from 500 kbps to 2 mbps) and two audio quality settings (192 kbps or 224 kbps). \n\nI liked the control software enough to bypass the included Ulead VideoStudio 4 software and use that disk space for MPEG files.\n\nWhen I was ready to transfer my assembled videos from hard drive to CD, I had no problem using the shipping MovieMaker's single-click CD-burn feature.\n\nDigital video requires lots of memory and processing power. Creative Labs recommends a system with a Pentium II-300 or better CPU, 64MB of RAM, and 2GB of free hard disk space. A PC equipped with a PIII processor, 128MB of RAM, and a graphics board made since 1999 would probably work better. \n\nBut if you have the horsepower and the megabytes, the Video Blaster MovieMaker could help you smoothly convert from yesterday's medium to today's.

generaly you vhs camcorder has a Video-Out connection, this can connect to your computer, however, you need a Video-Input on your computer.\n\nthere is a simple item, that plugs into your USB port, and can be used for Audio/Video input to your computer, and you can take those files and burn to dvd (with dvd creation software)

Buy a cheap DVD recorder ($90-$130) and hook it up to your VCR.  It's very easy, just like hooking up a VCR to a TV.  Then follow the DVD recorder's instructions to record it onto a DVD.\n\nMake sure you buy DVD-RW or DVD+RW discs so you can reuse the disks or start over if you mess up.  If you get the cheaper DVD-R or DVD+R discs, these are one shot only and you cannot go back and redo it.\n\nWhatever you do, don't listen to anybody on here that tells you to use a computer.  That is way, way, WAY more complicated.  A set top DVD recorder is far easier and straightforward.

Two things you could do:\n\n1) Get a better Codec Pack, or some video enhancement software. Check out K.Lite Codec Packs...\n\nor\n\n2) Sit further away from the monitor while watching video.\n\n:)

Try doing this.\n\nDownload and install a software called winavi converter.\nUse this converter to convert your video file.A single vob file without any IFO and BUP file cannot be burnt to a video dvd.\n\nI think you are using a normal video converter.Like imtoo mpeg encoder.Please email me with a better idea of your problem.

I think it's saying you don't have the right codec installed for the files on the DVD. Here's a popular free player that might work:\n\nhttp://www.videolan.org/vlc/

hey , i had this prob too, download the divX player, it'll tell you what codec is needed and is a better player than windows, then head over to download dot com and look up audio or video codec as needed and you should be sorted.
