Transfering video tapes to dvd-roms...

If you are telling me that there's an svideo connector on your video player, then just use s-video both ends, that carries both sound & video in ONE wire (if there isn't just ignore it, we are 'hampered' by what's available on the video player)

(using the rca jacks instead is splitting the signal up into bits)

Listen...dont use words like "rca" or "svideo connector" because I dont understand them. U ll help if u answer my exact questions.
I explained what exackly i connected and what result i have.
My old video player has only RF port and 2 scarts.
I used the cable shown. I connected the colour small plugs and I have picture but no sound. Do I need to connect also the other black plug onto my TV(theres such port).

When, if I could see it myself, I might answer much quicker & 'better' !

If you have a suitable place to plug the 'fat plug' into your tv, plug that 'fat one' into your TV & put the other 'fat one' into your video card & then connect your vcr 'as normal' to your TV & that should work (no need to connect any of the other thinner wires at all in that case)

Unfortunately I didnt understand much of your previous msg...why dont u just answer my last question(already twiced asked)??

U confuse me...The "fat plug" goes to the video_in as already said and did. If u mean the left plug as shown in image. I said I cant recognize which is the rca. I m asking for the right "fat plug"....

That's an s-video connector, what I keep calling a 'fat one' in effort to simplify matters .

& that's an S-video socket (where it goes)

You said you had an s-video socket on your TV - so plug your TV to your PC, & then connect your vcr to the TV, whatever you can see on your TV will be what it records.

well, I just connected this s-video connector also.
Still have no sound....

So...no one has achieved to connect his video with pc???
Sad...

You sound awful rude to people who are trying to help you. If you do not understand the terminology then maybe you just need to take your tapes to a company that can transfer them for you. It is difficult for anyone to help you if you cannot describe the problem accurately. The equipment you provided links for should do what you want, but seeing as we cannot see your set up it makes it difficult to walk you through the procedure especially if you do not understand what is being said. From the replies I have read I see that many people have attempted to provide you assistance and all you do is come back with rude comments and call us sad. If I was a mod of this thread I would close it and leave you on your own.

Quote: It is difficult for anyone to help you if you cannot describe the problem accurately I described the point in full details..what else do u want, shout?:
I NEED HAVE SOUND! WHICH CABLE DO I NEED T0O HAVE SOUND? Its a simple i think question, apparently the problem is that no one of u knows it.

I did what they asked me.But i received no reply.Read the whole thread more carefully. The only rude here is u, to me.

See thats exactly what I am talking about. Insulting me or anyone because you are frustrated is no way to get help. You have to understand that in the computer world it is sometimes extremely difficult to understand a problem without seeing it. Do you call your auto mechanic and say my car is making a noise and assume he knows what you are talking about? No!

The TV Tuner Capture card you have will capture the video, but if you want audio then the audio needs to be routed through your sound card. If you consult your user manual on the TV tuner card you will see that there is a little white jack that is designed to take the audio captured from the card and route it through your sound card. If that cable is not connected then you will get no sound in your captures. Information from ASUS on this card can be found here http://support.asus.com/download/do...aspx?model=ASUS TV FM 7133(NTSC)&SLanguage=en-us.

Word of advise, it is not very friendly of you to accuse people for being sad or accuse them of lying. I have been an active member of these forums for years and never have been treated with such ignorance. You need to act more mature and have a little patience with people that are trying to help you.

Of course I have connected that small cable, at the first time, when installed the card in pci.
And no more kerygma plz...
If u know which cables do i need, put here their images, this is how u ll help. Take a look at mine also.(the one Confus-ed put)
And one more I want to know,is if u ever did this job(connect vcr to pc) yourself.

Yes, I have done this many times using my ATI All-in Wonder TV Tuner Card. I record my Satellite TV and have converted many tapes to DVD.

If you have everything connected properly, then there may be something else you are doing wrong. We cannot provide pictures for everything because every computer is different. I would consult the user install manual for the TV Tuner card and your PC's motherboard and verify all your connections are right. Other than that its hard to tell what you are doing wrong. Maybe Asus tech support can walk you through a few things. This is the last time I will respond as you are a little demanding for my taste. Good luck.

Dont worry because of maybe i have different material.
Just tell me WHICH cables u use and WHERE u put them.
And with images.
This is how u ll help
(Looking at your signature, i see we have in common...Two pc,one for video editing and another one as "good" one. Which program do u use for"video editing"? i saw that 7' of video playing is 100Mb of HD space.Can this be improved?)

Did you set the advanced properties of your soundcard at the same time ?

I have "converted" a number of my old VHS cassettes to DVD. As kotw did I was unable to get sound on some of my tapes using any combination of direct cable connection..... the reason being is that before Nicam or super VHS, video recorders carried the sound signal as a mono analogue recording along one edge of the actual tape, not digitally encoded as is now the norm. Being a simple analogue signal the sound on these tapes is not picked up by direct cable connections as it is not ported to the scart socket!!

I overcame the problem by fitting a cheap TV card, then connecting the vcr to it by an aerial cable, tuning the card into the vcr, linking the audio output on the TV card to the line-in on my sound card, then recording each cassette onto the computer (in real time), finishing by conversion & burning to dvd. The quality was not as good but acceptable for me.

The direct cable connection works fine for later tapes recorded on my present Panasonic Nicam recorder though.
