I'm trying to import some VHS tapes onto my computer. The set-up goes like this: VCR RCA out ---> ROXIO USB adapter ---> COMPUTER I've tried importing the tapes with Roxio Media Import and Windows Movie Maker, but both require me to import a very low quality version of the footage. In the past I have imported video from a miniDV camcorder via FireWire, and have captured it at full res., no problem. Can somebody please help me? I don't know if it's the device, my computer, or what.
Is it this one? http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/creator/device/overview.html According to info on that page it captures at full resolution.
That's the one, but it can capture at full res, it just can't get in the4 computer fast enough or something.
PC too slow ? Disk Drive nearly full, heavily fragmented? What happens when you try capturing at full resolution? Do you get dropped frames or doesn't it work at all ?
No, I already tried two. I read online that you get better quality from ur vhs if u import at a lower res.
Where did you read that? In general, if you want to make a DVD out of it, full res is better. If it's for watching on the computer, or uploading to Youtube or similar, single field capture (320*240 or 352*240) is OK. Have you been in touch with Roxio about problems with their product ?
Perhaps you should make a post in the Roxio forum: http://forums.support.roxio.com/index.php?showforum=194 I browsed through it, there's a few regulars that mat be able to assist you.
