Matt0903 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hi I hope someone can help. I have been given a video capture card (roxio) and I am trying to record my old minidv casettes onto my computer using viedopad. I have some success with the video aspect, quality ok etc. However I'm having issues with the corresponding audio. I'm getting a distortion, stuttering audio. I have checked the cables etc and appear all ok. I'm wondering whether it's to do with the recording level? Or some other setting I'm not aware of. The actual voices from the cassettes are clear, but appear to be overlapped with the distortion If I reduce the level right down it is clearer but uselessly quiet. I'm using Windows 10. I have checked the drivers for my capture card and they are up-to-date. I should say that I'm not using the Roxio software as I don't have the original software cd. Any tips most welcome. I have scoured the forum, but none the wiser. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borate Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Upload a captured file so someone can take a listen. Use a free server, get a shareable link to the file then post that link here or to a private message (click the folder at the top-right of the window). And note the Windows record mixer and device settings options... http://help.nchsoftware.com/help/en/videopad/win/content_capturingvideo.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt0903 Posted June 15, 2020 Author Share Posted June 15, 2020 I hope this has worked and there is sufficient amount of audio for you to make an assessment. Let me know if not. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NsiA-dMlcsusSZY84pZOWOGZErOmfMD6/view?usp=sharing Any help or suggestions greatly received.

borate Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 That's a pretty rocky stream all right. Doesn't sound overdriven. Give NCH Debut a go and see if it does better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46L2nqdoieE Free trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noah Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Check your capture softwares gain and resolution setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt0903 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Share Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks borate I tried Debut and got same issue even after tweets etc. I'm thinking this could be a win 10 audio issue. It as if I'm receiving two audio inputs which are conflicting? Noah, thanks - gain & resolution. Im trying to record mini DV. When connecting the camcorder videopad is giving me option of: pal, 648 x 480, 4:3, 25fps which i think is correct. Forgive me ignorance but what should the correct audio settings be?

DayC Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 New to all of this so no idea what's happened. I wanted to take a short clip from a TV show, however when I play the scene the sound repeats over the original audio with a delay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
