Hi all! I have a problem in the program "Video easy save your video" This is a Russian localizations of the product "Magix video easy" . When recording video from your VCR - display in black and white. No color. That is, no color capture from VCR., What could be the problem? Screenshot attached.

Hi

Without knowing the TV standard which is used by the VCR I am guessing (as you state you are using a Russian localisation of Video Easy) your are trying to capture Russian or Russian TV standard video - is this correct?

If so I would suspect that the composite video output of the VCR is SECAM and you are capturing as PAL - in which case the colour signal is being ignored - for more information on SECAM see here.  In this case you need to either capture as SECAM or if the USB video capture device cannot handle SECAM, you need one that does.

HTH

Thank you!   

I began to change different formats and one came. Although the instructions specified another. Eventually replaced Secam D on NTSC M - and it worked. Thanks again!
