[status66uk]

hello

every so often when i try to capture certain videos i go to play them after capturing and a big white line appears right accross the middle of the screen, does anyone know whats causing this or have a similar problem, ive tried to capture the same clip about 10 times and it starts off fine then the white line appears after about 30 secs of the clip, it appears at different times on the other captures ive tried of the same video, this white line thing only appears now and again not on every clip i capture

the source video im using is just a sony VHS tape of clips recorded from the tv

This problem has been discussed before. I vaguely recall it being related to the capture card drivers or capture app drivers.

I had that problem last year and a reinstall solved it.

Unfortunately the search engine is down and I couldn't find the references for you.

Status66uk,
I had the same maddening problem using a Nvidia card and the solution turned out to be reverting back to an older video card driver. You can do a search for "White Band" on the forum and probably find the post but here is the reply to me via a cut and paste:

Hi Gritz,
You didn't say what you capture with but on the outside chance that you are using Nvidia drivers for your capture card this fixed the same problem for me as posted by another forum member in here.

Remove the current Nvida Video Capture (Universal) driver and then install the older version 1.08. No more Macrovision.

This did indeed fix the problem .... and I did need the older 1.08 driver. I was surprised ....... but releived. If you have a Nvidia card ..... this may do it.
