Hey guys! I'm hoping someone here has the expertise I need to help me out.
I have recently been tasked with transferring some old family movies on VHS to pc.
I was provided with one of these and a VHS player. On top of which I found in my wire collection one of these.

Now I've plugged these in to the pc and installed the windows 7 drivers for it. The problem is, when playing, none of the video software thats meant to work with it shows anything! I've tested the vhs player on the tv and it works fine there so thats not the issue. I've tried AVS Video Recorder, VideoStudio 12 from Corel, Movavi Video Editor, and I'm confused as to what I could be doing wrong! So heres helping someone has first hand experience in this area!
 
Hmm I've got it all plugged in right but all I see if a blackscreen on vdub, same as the other programs. Makes me wonder if I'm missing something tbh. All the software is installed and detected correctly. Shame I cant try svideo instead of this scart as I dont know how many pins the scart adapter is meant to have.Its only got half a dozen on it compared to a full set on normal scart to scart.
 
Wow! I consider myself techy, how did I not know this :/ At least that explains why I cant get it working hehe! Many thanks for your help I will go shopping shortly!
 
Ok cheers for all the help chaps! I now am able to see the video and hear the audio fine on the pc, I can even watch VHs on videolan hehe. The problem is any method I try to use to capture it creates a lot of sync issues. one recorder even stops the video entirely!
 
Driving me bonkers now! Fixed the sync issues by playing it in VLC then using fraps to record it. But god the video quality is terrible! Not sure why its so bad in that but fine in everything else :/
