Can anyone explain how I disable a blue screen appearing when I have connected Magix Video Easy..to my VHS player.. Previously it was a black screen, any instability cause the blue screen to appear briefly when recording.. Most annoying when converting to DVD..
Welcome to the Magix user to user forums.
I'll start by saying I have never used Video Easy but I do a lot of transfers from analogue video tape to computer, prior to burning to DVD or exporting to a digital format. The Blue Screen, in my experience, appears when the original tape has areas where nothing has ever been previously recorded on the tape, i.e. those sections of the tape are, effectively, "brand new". When using domestic VHS recorders, it is extremely difficult to ensure that each subsequent recording is started at exactly the point where the preceding one finished; almost inevitably, there will be a "gap", hence the Blue Screen.
Does Video Easy offer any facility to "edit" the transferred video file? If so, that is the only method by which you can remove those blue screens, I'm afraid. Again, from my experience, you cannot prevent them appearing as the transfer is happening so post-transfer removal is the only solution.

Thanks Jeff, In the previous version of Video Easy, I had a black screen which didn't require too much editing, since I updated to the newer version and with a recent transfer job the infamous blue screen flashed up, everytime there was some instability.. Some of the edits are only 1- 5sec at max, very time consuming... Thanks again
