Analogue capture, passthrough

[Trevor Andrew]

Hi

First of all apologies to Ron for missing your Analogue poll post, otherwise I would have replied there.

I don’t seem to have a problem.

I was aware that VS 11 had a major problem with analogue capture including Pass-through, not owning VS11 was not up to date with the exact problem and tended to steer clear of analogue capture issues.
I was not aware that the later version X2 also suffered as I can capture analogue without problems.

This is my procedure using Pass-through
Video Studio X2/X3

Old Samsung VHS recorder with RCA cables connected via Scart adapter.
3.5 mm video plug connected to Panasonic GS 400 A/V – In
Firewire from Panasonic DV 4 pin to PC firewire 6 pin

Removed tape from camera.
Set Panasonic menu to allow DV-Out.
Play VHS tape and capture to X2/X3

I normally use DVD for my VHS capture, X3--DV is also available and captures ok.
Using X2 Vcd Svcd and Mpeg are also available as capture formats.

As I say I did not realise the problem extended beyond VS 11

Am I missing the point here…………………

No not really missing a point. For most people this analog-digital capture using VS has been broken since VS 11. There are a few that are lucky, like you, and did not have this issue.
