Hi Ford Prefect,
Thanks for a prompt reply.
It is frustrated as I am sure you are right, it has to be something simple, me perhaps!
I don't get a wizard, but I choose capture from a video device, and that selects my video capture card. The settings I started with are YUY2 and 720 x 576, similar settings to what I was using following the guides on Virtual Dub and Virtual VCR.
Video Input source is Composite (S Video seems to work as well, TV Tuner doesn't), and sound I am using my sound card (this is WMM's default choice) and CD Volume.
Video Capture is "Best Quality for playback on my computer" The DV-AVI you chose is greyed out.
That is about all the info I can give you, if you see something obvious please point it out.
Cheers

Hi Russell,
I don't like the choice of YUY2, that's a "component" video set up which will only capture video, not sound. For capturing from VHS which is probably "composite" (unless it's SVHS) you need to choose "composite" or the equivalent.
I can't see those choices on my set up because as soon as I connect my cam via firewire it correctly chooses DV_avi.
Tell me what other choices you get and I might be able to guess the correct one for you.
Regards.

Hi Ford Prefect,
Well my last attempt was with settings of composite input, RGB 555 and resolution of 352 x 288. I think that was default settings.
Again it captured video but not sound.
It may be time to check the connection between the capture card and the sound card.
My brain hurts!

Hi Sharon and a Happy New Year,
Let's hope it brings more solutions than problems!
The "Leadtek" device sounds just the ticket with the "Direct Burn" function.
It's like all the others, basically it converts (over usb) a video stream from a VCR or camcorder to mpeg2 (usually, though sometimes the more advanced units or packaged s/w give you a choice, but for DVDs mpeg2 is the one to use.)
Regarding Windows MovieMaker, it is part of Windows XP and is on all versions that I've seen, i.e. Home, Pro.
it's not listed in "Accessories" or under "M" you'll find it at the very end of your "programs listing" usually after "Windows Media Player" and "Windows Messenger".
HTH.
Regards,
Doug.
