Capture from VHS Camrecorder

[jbbedtel]

I have VideoStudio SE, March 2006 purchased from Best Buy in Nov. 2012 packaged with Sabrent USB-AVCPT cables. I was able to capture vidio for awhile. Now when I try I get the fellowing message. "Capture video bit rate is 300. Frame size is 640 X 480. When using this frame size the video bit rate should be between 1578 - 8838."
What went wrong? How do I set it to work again?

Hi Bill

Welcome to the forums.

Not many will have that particular capture device so we can only guess on a reply.
What version of video studio are you using later versions changed the capture settings capability again making it difficult to give an exact reply.

From memory (which of late is fast fading) to capture using a USB device

1 / Set the Capture Format to DVD, if that is not available choose Mpeg, but DVD would be the best option as it provides compatible settings.
2 / Click the Options Cogwheel to open the capture properties, this will allow you to choose your preferred settings, again the DVD option will provide settings within a defined range.

The settings you choose should then show on the Information panel below the preview screen.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the reply. Sorry I have been so long and getting back to you. VideoStudio is version 10.0. What I have done so far. There is a reinstall program on the disk. I tried that and it still didn't work. I then uninstalled the program and reinstalled it on my stand alone hard drive. I am now able to capture VHS video but have another problem. It puts the VIDEO in the time line with a black image. When I check clip it will play back with picture and sound. If I check project it plays back with the black image and sound. If I try to drag the clip from the library to the time line I get an error "File is unreadable". Next I used the Leawo Avi Conterter to convert the file to AVI With DV Codec (*ave). This file I can inport to the time line in VideoStudio and it will play in program or clip mode. I have been able to do all the other editing ok except doing the overlay and getting a transparent back ground. The background was white. New problem, I can not burn project to disk. I do not get the next on the screen. I used alt n one time to create a DVD but that doesn't work now.
Thanks Bill

The lack of the "Next" button in the 'Create Disc' module is due to the incompatibility of version 10 and Windows 7 - version 10 is very old - we are now using version X6 (16)

Many users have managed to workaround the problem by using the standard keyboard shortcut for 'next' of pressing 'alt' and 'N' keys together (alt+N)

Thanks for the reply. How can I upgrade my VideoStudio SE version 10.0 so it will work with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit?

You cannot - version 10 is very very old and was released way before windows 7 was even thought of - even before XP - your only option is to purchase a new version - currently X6 (16)
