i am capturing video from an anlogue pal/mesecam hitachi vcr onto windows xp
windows media maker v5.1 service pack 2, and on my Compaq presario amd 3.16
ghz computer i have an NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 which is an NVIDIA wdm video
capture (universal) which is functioning normally as far as i can tell.
However on the captured video there is a white box covering the middle area.
Should i be changing the settings on media maker?
help!
