Cannot capture audio from AVerTV card

Post by ehbowen »

I'm a new VideoStudio 11 user. Before you ask: Yes, I have read the manual, I have searched the Corel knowledge base, and my cables are all connected properly and my system volumes are set. I have downloaded the latest patches and my version number is VideoStudio 11.5.0157.2 Plus.

I am attempting to capture analog video from an SVHS VCR through an AVerTV Combo PCI-E TV tuner/capture card. When I start VideoStudio from a clean reboot, I can capture the VHS video, but I get no audio. If I go into capture options/video properties and change my video source to the TV tuner and back to SVHS, I get sound and picture for about three seconds, which tells me that the AVerTV card is working properly. But after three seconds the preview screen goes black and I lose both audio and video. I can get it back for three seconds at a time by changing the sources again, but the only way to get the video back for more than three seconds is to reboot - and then, again, I get no audio.

It appears that VideoStudio has more than one issue with this card; while I can select the HDTV (ATSC) tuner in VideoStudio there is no way to select a channel to capture that I can see.

Has anyone else reported similar problems, or does anyone know of a fix or a workaround?

The immeadiate work-around is to cature using the software that came with your card. Then import that video file into VS to edit.

From what I have read in previous responses from similar problems is that capture cards generally work better with the software that's been tweaked to work with it.

Exactly how have you connected your VCR to the card? S-Video plus RCA composites for audio, or only RCA composites for all three (Video + R/L audio)?

Unfortunately my card did not come with capture software¡Xonly drivers.

S-Video cable from the VCR to the card for video; 2 phono cables from the VCR through a Y-adapter to a stereo mini phone plug into the card. (I experimented with plugging directly into the LINE IN jack on my sound card as well.) See http://www.aver.com/mpd/support/downloa ... lation.pdf for details.
