I have the above product and am trying to import from my Sony Handy Cam 8 into Video Studio 8 SE.
I am getting sound but no video. I tried the camera on a TV and the video out works. Any help would be appreciated.

Dave,
According to the ADStech.com website, this dead-end product has really dumbed-down capabilities limited to the following Video capture specifications:
640 x 480 @ 15-20 fps
VCD MPEG-1 352 x 288 @30 fps (PAL)
VCD MPEG 1 352 x 240 NTSC
Connection to PC: USB 1.0
You will never be able to get even close to DVD quality (740x480 @ 30 fps) with this box.
See if you can exchange it for an ADS Instant DVD2 analog capture box and use the Capwiz software that comes with it to capture to Mpeg2.

I too recently bought this ADS tech device and have been fumbling with it and my Sony 8mm camcorder.
Hi, I'm new to the forum and a bit new to converting home movies to digital format, etc. Although I'm new at this, I not new to pc/mac, so I know my way around the platforms.
My goal is to be able to inexpensively capture and convert my 8mm tapes to digital format, then transfer to VCD or possibly DVD. VCD would be easiest because my laptop already has a CD burner.
I have a number of old 8mm movies that I want to transfer to either VCD or DVD. I have a 2.0 ghz laptop with a CD burner, and I also have a 650mhz pc with a CD burner (I could install a DVD burner on this one). Neither system is USB 2.0
Here are my questions:
What is recommended capture settings to get the analog in a quality that will produce high quality output? Is a VCD capable of producing this?
Is my 650mhz system is capable of capturing quality video and burning DVD?
I've successfully captured analog video with this device and even wrote to a VCD, but using the default settings of the ADS device, which yielded a 352x240, 29.970 fps file from input, and output to the VCD was viewable, but not really what I'm after. The video studio software made it very easy to do, but the playback was a bit muddy and somewhat pixilated. I’d like to have as high a quality playback as possible.
I’ve poked around the other parts of the forum, but I didn’t see my answers, so thanks for the feedback in advance.
