TV capture card and VCR

[ladyharley]

I have a little problem here and searching google hasn't helped.

Setup: Dish satelite to TV with VCR, DVD connected. works great

problem. I have a TV wonder VE capture card with CATV, Audio out and Composite connectors. The VCR Has only three video and audio out connectors and three video and audio in connectors no composite and no S video connectors on TV or VCR no Capture card.

The tv wonder card works great watching tv, but can't play vcr and see it on the PC. Is there a work around since the VCR does not have a composite connector? I'm trying to record VHS tapes to the PC and then copying to DVD. But if I can't see it on the screen then I can't do it... Please help

Please post the capture card Model number. There too many listed under TV wonder VE capture card .

According to ATI they don't go by model numbers..they go by part numbers and there is only one TV Wonder VE not all in wonder. You give them the part number 1026830830 073452 they will tell you TV Wonder VE as all documentation on their site for drivers..

Use the three video and audio out connections on the VCR to connect to the Capture card. As there are three I assume they are yellow, red and white phono (RCA) connectors? Yellow is composite video, red and white are left and right audio. If your capture card has connections for audio, connect to those, if it doesn't connect, to the Line In on your soundcard.

Okay I get video okay...
The way I have it set up audio right, audio left and video connected to OUT on the vcr. I tried the PC connectors two ways... I have line out on capture card with splitter for L and R audio to connector that goes into capture card and then I tried that connector to the sound card line out and both don't have sound...I checked the sound control as it mutes it and un muted it.

sorry the PC I connected to both Line IN on sound card and tried audio out (only one) on capture card
