Welcome to the Forums

We like to think we are good but we are not yet miracle workers - please give us a lot more information, What are you capturing from , (what sort of video from what device) using what equipment, what cables/connections are involved in the capture process, what settings are you using in VideoStudio

With the video in your timeline please RIGHT click on it and choose 'properties' from the dialogue box - copy all those properties and post them here.

Please read this topic http://forum.corel.com/EN/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=29738 and supply the information asked for there - then we may well be able to help you.

Hello Sir, Thanks for your reply & thank you for welcoming me to the forums.

So, i am capturing video from a Hitachi TV recorder, pre-recorded boxing footage which is on the HDD of the recorder. I have connected a 21 Euro Scart adapter to the TV recorder and connected composite video and RCA audio cables to the PCI capturing card on my PC.


I have attached the properties information.


Hope you can help

Thanks

Forgot to mention that, using on board audio, - Realtek AlC850 codec.

Hi zoomzoom

To keep things tidy--I have removed the duplicate post.
Did you read the post/link provided by Brian???????

What version of Video Studio are you using?

I do not have a Hitachi TV recorder (what model is it?) but would assume it saves the recorded video to its hard drive.
Is it not possible to connect the recorder via usb effectively using the recorders hard drive as a removable drive on the pc. You would then transfer the files in the same manner as image files.

Are you able to play the captured video with audio on Windows Media Player.
Check the computers volume controls for the correct recording options.

If you are limited to Composite /Scart connections then check your capture card, some require a link to connect the cards Audio to PC Line-In, this link may be internal or external. Provide details of the capture card?

Ok so you have a fairly standard UK lead with the scart plug on one end and yellow, red and white phonos (RCA) on the far end that you have plugged into a card on your PC. The properties of your clip suggest to me there is something wrong with the audio properties - it is showing a number of samples but no layer or bit rate so we need to get to the bottom of that, Did you hear any sound when you were transferring at all, have you tried plugging another audio device (mp3 player/CD player etc.) direct into the red and white phonos and seeing if you can hear that on your PC speakers and record it using windows sound recorder or any other sound recording software you may have.

Hi, sorry for not mentioning all othr hardware. Yes, i stated in my post that the recorded footage is stored on the Hitachi Digital TV recorder HDD.

Model : Hitachi HDR080. Software: Video Studio PRO X3. Video card: Tevion Xpert TV7134 TV.

When capturing the video using Windows Movie Maker and Cyberlink, there is no problems with the video or audio, playback is fine.

Yes, it's fairly standard connections. When i was transferring, i could hear the audio no problems, so i presumed it was recording ok, but not the case and when i playback the recorded video, no audio? There's just a hissing noise? I've tried connecting a DVD player with RCA/composite and captured some DVD footage, but still isn't capturing audio ... Works fine with WMM and Cyberlink software. It's got me baffled.

Hi

As far as I know the audio properties you show are correct when using NTSC audio. (edited---should read LPCM audio)

From the capture screen select Options then Video Properties……..
What you see here will vary depending on the capture device being used.
I’m not exactly sure what you will see, although I have an idea…..
As you are connected to an analogue source you will have to set the capture properties.
Explore these options for the “Audio Source”, I think it should be Line-In.
But try all options, this sets the input/recording source.
A short capture of a few seconds is all that’s needed.

Hearing audio does not mean its recording audio, just that the audio is connected to speakers, which can have several inputs,
whereas the recording input can only have one selected, and if its set to Mic’ then you are not gonna record the video’s audio.

As for the video, your recordings may be in widescreen 16:9, only you will know.
Your last capture used 4:3??????

The problem I see though Trevor is that zoomzoom is capturing in PAL - not NTSC - which is why I am uncertain about the actual properties displayed.

But I do agree with you 100% that it could be a setting in audio properties , did we also once upon a time have problems in setting 'Windows' sounds to get audio - not just inside VS - after you have tried Trevors suggestion zoomzoom if it works great - if not try right clicking on the loudspeaker icon in your system tray and open windows sound mixer and try different input options there.

Hi

Sorry Brian, my typo, i meant to say LPCM audio.

[Black Lab]

Works fine with WMM and Cyberlink software.

Then I would capture with WMM then import the clips into VS. Many on this forum use another program to capture.

Hi Guys,

Sory for late reply

I can gladly say that all is workign fine!! The sound card does have a "link to connect Audio- PC line-In" ... and having done that, and all is working fine now... Capturing Video and Audio is working perfect!!

Many thanks for all your help and possible solutions to the problem.

I think we're all just pleased to hear you have solved the problem - happy editing !
