I can capture video (including audio) from my digitised VHS tapes by Firewire but I can only monitor video. I can watch the video being recorded. The audio is silent but the meter shows the audio volume is being detected. There is an audio button but it only stops the audio being recorded. There is no way to hear the audio being recorded. When I play the recorded video the audio plays as it should - video and audio. How can I monitor the audio during capture. I have just tried to document this again but the trial period seems to have expired as I was writing this - about 2 weeks after installing it..

I am new to video editing and would greatly appreciate it if someone could advise me regarding "Device Settings", "Encoder Settings" and "Property" Settings for video capture please. I am using a video capture device with the red, yellow and white RCA plugs (plus S Video) with a USB connector for the PC. My PC is 3.6Ghz, 16 GB of RAM, Windows 10. I have the latest version of Videopad and plenty of spare disk space. I would like to capture video from the following devices: Sony Digital Camera/Recorder (Mini DV Cassette tapes); Sony Handycam Camera/Recorder Hi8; and a standard VHS player. In the "Record"-> "Record Video" under the "Devices" window I have selected "USB 2861 Device" (there is no other choice); "Line (Master AV Cap)" - I assume this is my capture card - the only other choice is a mic I have connected; and "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" which is top of the list and therefore I assume it is the default. Under the "Device Settings" -> "Properties" ->"Video Decoder" tab the only change I have made is to select "PAL_B" instead of "NTSC-M" which is what it was when I first opened Videopad. I have NOT checked the "VCR Input" box. I have not made any changes to the default settings under the "Video Proc Amp" or "Video Image" tabs. As I am using the "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" setting (default???) should I check the "Video Input" box in the "Video Decoder" tab when I use the VHS player AND the cameras or should it only be checked when using the VHS player? Or should I not check it at all? Also, in the "Video Image" tab should I change "Pic Size" from "Default" to "640x480" to match it to the "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" setting? On burning my first effort to DVD (burnt at 4:3) which I took from video captured on my Sony Digital Camera/Recorder (Mini DV Cassette tape) reproduction was reasonably good but there were times with fast moving subjects when their image momentarily "ghosted". When the recording was taken (some 20 years ago) the camera was set to "Very Fine Picture Quality" in order to capture fast moving people and objects. For capturing the images I had Videopad set to "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" and "PAL_B" - no other changes were made to the default settings. Is anyone able to suggest how I might obtain the best quality capture and DVD reproduction through my cameras and VCR please? Thank you.

I have captured a video streaming with both video and sound. The capture works perfectly when I play the recording with DEBUT But when I export the capture in MP4 and play the file with VLC, I hear no sound I have also exported the sound captured in MP3. I can manage to hear something from the MP3 file with an audio editor but here again no sound when I play the Mp3 file with VLC Rings a bell to anyone? Any clue?

Hi, a little help if anybody can, I just purchased Debut Professional in order to capture NTSC 8mm cassettes, and the audio is ahead of the video. I'm using firewire and a Windows 7 PC 64 bit, which does nothing else during capture and is even unplugged from the internet,. There is no problem with the audio when the the Sony TRV-725E camera plays the tape. During capture Debut does not show that frames any are being dropped. I have tried to record as .dv NTSC, as MP4 encoder H264 and as MP4 encoder MP4 with exactly the same result.

Any suggestions for VideoPad settings to capture/record mode for either Instagram IGTV "Vertical" formats or at least a 1080 x 1080 format? Thanks, TG

HI I'm using Debut V4.08 and Windows 10 Debut is not recognising my Pinnacle Dazzle Creator 80 in the "Option" Webcam and capture device do not show any details in the drop down lists - only screen capture which appears to work fine as I can save file and the play it back Any ideas please

I know this question was asked a long time ago, but I didn't see any responses. Hoping for one now - does anyone know if you can simultaneously stream a live video on BroadCam Pro and capture it as a recording for viewing later? Thanks for any help, JM

I've already recorded a few videos with the camera overlay but it recently started crashing when I tried to move it into a different corner. I unplugged it and Debut ran just fine, but the second I plug in the webcam, the whole thing crashes.

How do you add a time stamp to a video in the Debut Video Capturing software. The website says that it can be done, but I haven't been able to find it within the actual software.

Folks, I am using Debut to record some Lightroom tips. When I record the main window everything is fine, but when I click Import in lightroom it pops up a new window that covers almost the whole screen. Debut doesn't appear to be able to see or capture this window ? It won't even take a screen capture of the window in question. Any thoughts? Martin

When trying to capture video from my Sony PC330 camcorder, capture does not work. --using VideoPad 2.41 professional --camera is connected via iLink cable to my Windows XPHome computer --Window Movie Maker can capture just fine --the controls along the bottom of the capture video window do control the camera --no preview of the video shows up in the capture video window --a file is created on the hard disk, but it is empty (0 megs) --the section of the capture video window that should contain the video does not update, and sometimes shows an image from another window How can I get VideoPad to capture from my camera? Thanks for all your good work there at NCH. your customer, John
