Dana, thanks for responding. Yes, I'm using a scart/composite cable. Then you
lost me. What is RCA?
I've plugged in all the colour-coordinated cables into my MCE computer input
and it works with Nero-I get sound and video. Why don't I get sound with
Movie Maker?
Is this anything to do with Registry settings? I see that Nero has captured
the path.

The sVideo cable doesn't carry sound so you'll still need the same red and.
white cables.
I'm not sure what else to try...

Dana,
All I am using right now is the three jacks, one each red, yellow, and
white
from the output side of my VCR to the same colored inputs on my new
Gateway
computer. I have not tried using anything else. Seems like this is a big
problem for a lot of people. Those who are successful are making good
recomendations to those of us who are not, but nothing seems to work. Do
you think I should try using the composit S-Video cable? Does that do the
same thing as the red, yellow, and white cables?
Thanks,
Wildwyw

Assuming you're using the composite output from your VCR, you'll also
need
to run the right and left speaker jacks into the RCA inputs on your tuner
card (yellow=video, red=right audio, white=left audio). If you're just
having your VCR send output on channel 3 or 4, then the sound is already
in
that signal.

This is my problem too. I've been successful with Nero, so all the
connections and cards are working ok and Movie Maker picks up the video
but I
can't get Movie Maker to pick up the sound as well. Is there a setting
somewhere I'm missing? Have checked through the other suggestions
(Control
panel, Sounds and Audio, etc) but I still can't pick up sound. What am
I
doing wrong?

Hey Everyone,
First time in a discussion group. I also want to copy VCR tapes to my
new
computer with Windows Movie Maker, edit them, and then make DVD's to
pass
out
to family. I have succeeded using Dazzle software but I am getting no
audio.
I have a new Gateway Intel duo core 2 with TV tuner, 2G DDR ram and
300G
hardrive. Can anybody help me to capture the audio portion of the
tapes.

Hi James:
I'm not a computer expert, but I was able to simply hook the
vcr
up to
the media center computer inputs and in the media center window
with
live tv
playing, select the output channel that is playing on the vcr
before
you
want to record. Then select play on the vcr to send the tape to
the
media
center and just hit record on the media center remote. My
recordings are on
Super VHS tapes and using S-video out and audio out to the
computer,
the
recordings came out fine. I then recorded them to dvd disks from
the
media
center window for storage. The only problem you would have would
be
they
would probably show up on your media center files as whatever show
was
playing on channel 3 or 4 (whichever is selected on the back of
the
vcr.)
This isn't a high tech solution, but sure is a simple one and
worked
fine to
archive tapes to a DVD disk.

If at all possible, locate a Sony Digital-8 camcorder with
"pass-through" A-to-D conversion (most of the Digital-8
camcorders
have
this, if they will play back analog Hi-8 tapes). Setup the
Digital-8
camcorder to use this (see the camcorder manual).
Connect the analog source (a VCR playing the tape to be
converted)
to
the camcorder input (use S-Video if you have it, otherwise
composite,
and sound).
Connect the camcorder to the computer using a firewire port.
You
may
have to install a driver for the camcorder onto the computer
(this
comes
with the camcorder if it's required, it should also be
downloadable
(e.g. from the Sony web site)).
Do the "capture" outside of Media Center, under the Windows XP
desktop
using any suitable vide capture product. Examples are Pinnacle
Studio,
DVD Movie Factory, or any of the products by Pinnacle, MGI,
Roxio,
U-Lead, etc. However, you can also use Windows Movie Maker 2,
which is
a Microsoft free download for Windows XP and which is normally
installed
as part of Service Pack 2. You will be capturing to
uncompressed
AVI
files, which are huge (about 12-14 gigabytes per hour) so have
plenty of
disk space. These are very generic files and almost any video
editing
program can work with them or burn them to a video DVD.
