I ask you to help me because I don't know what to do anymore
I have a PAL VCR with scart output, via adapter I can have both SVIDEO and composite output: https://techsideworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/1-TECH.jpg
I have a PC with Windows 7 x64, virtualdub2, an internal crappy Hauppauge PVR-150 card and the Dazzle DVC107
The Dazzle is installed only with the official drivers for win7 x64 https://cdn.pinnaclesys.com/SupportFiles/Hardware_Installer/readmeHW10.htm
If I connect the VCR with SVIDEO to the Hauppauge card I see the picture in color. If I connect it to the Dazzle I see it in black and white.
If I connect a Commodore 64 always in SVIDEO to the Dazzle I see it in color! (to rule out problems with the Dazzle's connector).
With video composite (yellow connector) is all ok.
Do you have any ideas? Thanks

I may have realized
The VCR is an AIWA FX-5850
Looking at the wiring diagrams, the only SCART PIN connected is 19, which is composite video only!
So actually the output signal is only composite
I wonder how the Hauppauge detects the color....so I'll change the connection type -
This is why SCART can be frustrating sometimes, When chinese manufacturers started to make cheap ones they started omitting pins or wiring them completely wrong with lack of adequate shielding, Buy only new old stock brand name SCART cable and adapters and avoid all modern cheap ones.

I was under the impression that the OP has a S-VHS machine when he said "If I connect the VCR with SVIDEO to the Hauppauge card I see the picture in color".

The machine is a AIWA FX-5850, low end VCR

The VCR my dad bought it in some supermarket when I was younger, we watched thousands of cassettes on it, although it is not high-end at least it is robust
Exactly as you are saying, the scart cable I use has all the PINs, but the VCR has only the composite video one connected to the motherboard -
You need a TBC correction, at least add a specific DVD-Recorder in pass through mode. And clean audio/video heads before capturing
