I'm a newbie to this forum.

I've done a lot of research regarding capture on this wonderful site. I've recently bought a Sony DCR-TRV33 from the States which has a pass-through capability. I've tried to capture my old VHS to computer via the cam but i can only captured audio not video.
Is it because the cam that I bought from the States is NTSC but my VHS is PAL? If yes, is there a way to work around without spending a lot?

Many thanks.
