Welcome to the forums,

We need more information in order to help you with your problem. Please click HERE, read and follow the instructions.

I will add at this time, that the full version of VS8 is considered a phased out version. Now the version that you received bundled with your hardware are SE free versions. Some of the features have been disabled, and may have been altered by the hardware manufacturer.

So please read the above linked post and provide us with more information so that we may be able to assist you..

Was the card which VS8 SE came bundled with made by Creative? (Video Studio would appear as a Ulead product.) Was there any other disc which came with the hardware which might have contained special drivers for it?

Just make sure to download the trial version first! Sometimes, capture hardware and capture hardware just don't "play well together", and it's usually best to use the capture software that's specially made to work with your hardware. As Ron mentioned, your bundled version may have been tweaked to work with your hardware. Or, your bundle may have included some other capture software, and Video Studio may have been included just for editing and making DVDs.

Once you have a digital video file on your hard drive, you can use the video editing and DVD authoring software of your choice, as long as it works with your video file-format. (The Ulead/Corel programs sometimes have trouble with some more-compressed files... Formats like DivX, Xvid, MOV, and MPEG-4 seem to cause the most trouble, but MPEG-2 can sometimes be trouble too... The most trouble-free format is AVI/DV, at 13GB per hour.)
