hey guys,

brian the newbie here again.

im discovering that this business of transfering my box of old vhs to the computer for digital storage to not be as easy as i though it would be.

seems we all get some unique problems to solve..

heres one of mine..

My vcr is  the centre of my hifi system.. i have dvd and foxtel (australian cable tv) plugged directly into vcr and i just choose whichever one i want to view at the time.

i have a problem which does not appear when i feed live analogue cable tv or dvd through my vcr to the computer...

iThe fault only appears when vhs tape is playing ...... at the bottom of the screen..

this distortion does not appear on any tape i play directly on  my Crt tv

so the tapes and the vcr seem ok.

only happens when vhs is playing into the pc ( i can see it like this in the preview box)

remember all three sources are going through vcr and along the same cable to the pc...

i can switch instantly between the three sources and only see it from vhs tape.

Does anyone know why this would be and how to fix?
