hi Athlon,

I'm not from PAL land, but here in NTSC land, when you go from RCA to
S-Video, you have to use PREVIEW instead. And, if you set to PREVIEW,
you have to reset the colors.

A quick way around this is to pratice step each time you setup your capture
card..

* After pressing "P" for PREVIEW (vdub)
* press "S" key and then press ok or <RETURN> key, and that's it.

You'll see the colors re-adjust. When that happens, you are ready. Just
remember to always practice this, and you'll be alright - k?

Good luck, from

thanx for the help dude, but that didnt work. I know about setting the source of the video, but I'm not going from RCA to S-Video, I'm going from S-Video to S-Video !!

there must be someone in the UK that has done this ....
