Canopus ADVC 100 Gives Only a Black Screen With a Thin Vertical Line

[dman535]

I have had good luck in the past with my ADVC 100 - but trying to capture some old VHS stuff - it doesn't seem to be working. I tried it on multiple machines - difference cables, different VCRs and all I get is the black screen with the red line. Bought a new TI chipset firewire card - and it did the same thing.

I am using WinDV - which is what I used to capture before without issue.

Any thoughts on what the problem could be?

For future readers, this issue has to do with power. You are not using the original power adapter, or you are using a defective power adapter.

Example:

PSP 100 power adapter will work fine for 55/110, but not for the old models of the 100. Swap the power adapter with the original one, and it will work just fine.
