I'm running UleadVideoStudio v7 and the audio is exceptionally poor and distorting all of the time. It isn't distorting when I'm playing video, but only on playback after recording. I have tried burning to DVD and the sound is the same.
The video also runs out of sync with the audio at times
What am I doing wrong? I just wanted to transfer my old VHS onto the PC and onto DVD to preserve home movies.
It could be the settings so if anyone can help I would much appreciate it!

I'm capturing via the red, yellow and white (the name for this escapes me) cables, not the S-Video link because that provides me with black and white picture.
I meant that when I am initially capturing and viewing it on the screen as i capture, there is little to no distortion. It is when I play the footage back that the quality becomes unbareable.
There is no problem with any other aspect of the PC when playing video files or audio files.
I'm clueless, have tried all the config I can think of
Many Thanks

What capture hardware are you using, a single external device that captures both audio and video, or are you capturing using a combination of video card and audio card? If you are using an external device, how is it connected? Specific model numbers would be useful, as well as detailed information about the rest of your system (operating system, RAM, processor speed)...

Audio capture issues
I am having a similar problem with audio capture from old VHS tapes - using VideoStudio 9. I am still looking for another way - but at the moment I am getting around the problem by:
Capture VHS tape to your PC as you are (probably) doing now.
then
At the edit tab put your captured clip into the timeline
then go to the audio tab and choose the "speaker icon" [bottom LHS tab].
A volume slider comes up on the LHS of the video preview screen - use this to adjust (in my case reduce by about 24db) the volume of your captured video.
Save the project, and render it, then burn a DVD - the volume should now be burned at the volume you set on the slider, and most of the distorion you are getting will have gone - but the volume of your DVD will be much lower - probably about the same as a commercial DVD.
Note I have only done this with PAL MPEG settings but I assume that it works for all.
Let us know how you go with this - and if anyone knows how to adjust the volume during the video capture phase that will be very very useful as it would let us avoid the distortion that is introduced by the very high capture volume.

You can adjust the volume level during capture by opening the windows volume control panel. Select properties, then select adjust volume for recording. (It defaults to adjust volume for playback)
Identify which one of these controls you are using to record from
"master volume, Wave, CD, Microphone etc" and lower that slider control to decrease the volume. (it will be the one with a tick in the box)
You can find the volume control panel either by going to the windows control panel, or (if you have previously set it to be displayed,) from the volume control icon down the bottom right corner of your screen by the time display (Windows XP).

Perfect!1 It even works!!! I've been playing around all day trying to find an easier and more effective way than that I posted earlier. Thanks sjj1805!!

I'm relatively new to ths whole thing, only worked with Apple Macs before, so could somebody just tell me all of the best settings to use if I wanna capture from VHS PAL with the intention of burning onto a DVD? I need to know what sort of audio, visual, and all the little bits in between. Then I will be able to determine what the problem is.
Many Thanks
