Cpature options, color not retained.

I've played with brightness and contrast, same issue for the other color tab settings in Capture Options.

Settings are not preserved after a reboot, though they were preserved in VS8. If you only exit and reenter the program, only brightness seems to be preserved, other settings are lost.

If anyone knows where the settings can be configured bypassing the software that would be helpful

I have always bypassed the Ulead capture software and used the dedicated software that's part of my capture device. I have found this to be a much better way to go. I think ulead offered a patch fix for your issue regarding previous versions of video studio.

Hi

You don’t give us much to go on!

What version of VS are you using? Although you do mention VS 8?

How are you connecting your capture device? Firewire, S-Video, Composite, Usb?????

Firewire connection is far the best way for quality.

What format are you trying to capture to? Dv-Avi, Mpeg Pal/Ntsc-Dvd, wmv?

Where are you in the world Pal or Ntsc? This does help if you need property settings.

If you have not already seen the recommended procedure at the top of this forum, then it is worth a read.

Also add your pc spec’ to your profile, that way it will show in the ‘Systems’ icon.

You seem to be saying you want the same brightness and contrast settings for every single video you capture - is that correct ?

I remember this as being a bug in VS 7 I think. People would set the video capture settings ( brightness/Hue etc) using the VS capture software and it wouldn't store those settings. So each time you came back to it to capture again, the capture settings were defaulted and you had to reset them. The fix was part of a patch release.

Sorry for sparse details... it is VS10... TDK knows the issue. I am doing scheduled captures from TV, using a keystroke generator script run by windows scheduler.

The default color is too dark... and changes are not saved correctly.

No update packages for vs10... yet.. if anybody knows where the settings are hidden I could change them directly...

Richard.

If you're capturing from a TV card then use the software native to that card. You will have far more control over the capturing process. Then import the captured file into VideoStudio.

The procedure for most tasks is similar between all Ulead Products.
I used MovieFactory for this example.

The problem with that is if you've got 2 hauppauge devices (e.g. PVR150 and Nova-T USB2) you can't use WinTV2000 'cos it doesn't support more than one device!
