Hi,

You can't be using MEP to import a VHS tape to your computer without some sort of frame capture hardware device. If that is what you are trying to do, it simply won't work. Analog tape needs to be digitized and imported into your computer before you can do anything with it.

Check that your drivers for the Easycap are up to date and that the device is visible in Device Manager when it is plugged in.

You should not use the desktop for storing files. The file path can become very long and exceed the limit imposed by Windows.

Create the folder in the root of your C drive and point MEP to this in File, Settings Playback tab.
