Strange issue here, that I am hoping someone can help with....

Recorded a chunk of programming on our V+HD box a while back, and wanted to take it off there and onto my PC. So, I had a KWorld DVBT210SE TV card kicking around, and duly plugged it in and ran a cable (3x RCA) from the V+ box to the inputs on the the tv/capture card.

Fired up Nero 10 and got the source showing in the capture element of the software, then set the V+ box to copy off the recording (this is a V+ function, nestled in the menus !). All seemed to be capturing fine, so left it overnight (about 6hrs of footage in the recording)......checked in the morning and a file had been created :)

Anywhoooo, upon opening the file (defaulted to WMP) I had video but no sound; tried a few other programs (e.g. Nero, Cyberlink) and there was no audio heard in any. Capture was made on default DVD settings, so we are talking MPEG-2....and herein lies the problem, I suspect.
Loading the file into a video editor, the audio is recognised as 48Khz 130kbps mp2 format.......perhaps this is my issue ?

I have tried converting the file through a few different transcoders, including an audio only attempt, but - in all cases - no audio can be heard, although the file details seem to suggest there is an audio track :(

Help :confused:
 
If you are on Win7, right click the volume icon - choose recording devices and then right click the input for the TV card and set to default device.

I have a sneaky feeling you've recorded a good few hours of your soundcards microphone input. :(

Ah, now that is a scarily possible possibility :(

EDIT : Good shout, BloodyL - tried again and made sure to check the audio input (actually had to convert the 2x phono to a 3.5mm and plug into Line-In on mobo :rolleyes:) .....and hey presto, sound with pictures :p
