Hi clr171, I'm using Win-TV 2000 on an internal card, but they should be the same as far as settings go. I'm assuming you record through Win-TV to your HD, then burn to a dvd. If you click preferences on Win-TV, then the "movies" tab, "audio record source" tab, on the "mixer line-record source" box make sure you select stereo mix. Then select "audio" tab, under "volume controls" set your "audio mixer inputs" to line in. To the right you should see options for your current tv audio preferences. Select stereo. That should do the trick. You may also need to make sure the audio cable from your vcr to your computer is a stereo adapter, not mono.
Hi, I have the same problem. I bought an TV/Video capture card from ebay - it supports stereo audio. I have a VCR that has stereo audio (and setup accordingly), and a stero video cable to the video capture card, and a cable from the capture card to the sound card. If I play a TV channel - sound is in stereo. If I connect my VCR (or my DVD for that matter), I get Mono sound only. I've checked settings on the VCR, Video capture card and the sound card, but no luck. Can anyone help ? btw - th video capture card is a Chinese (I think) brand called Gadmei. Thanks &
When you connect your vcr/dvd, do you also use audio cables to connect from the player to the capture card? If not, that may be the problem as it was for me. All you would need is a stereo adapter cable{for my card it was a 3.5mm to rca adapter, 3 bucks at Fry's Electronics}, and an rca audio cable. Connect the adapter to your input on the capture card{or the line in port on your sound card if your capture card doesn't have one}, connect the rca cable to your vcr/dvd output and you should have stereo. Very important that the adapter be "stereo" and not "mono" though. You can tell by looking at the adapters metal tip. If it has a single black line it is mono, while 2 black lines will be stereo. Below is a link to Radio Shack that will show the adapter. I got mine at Fry's Electronics for 3 bucks. Hope this helps you out some. http://www.radioshack.com/product.a..._name=CTLG_011_003_001_013&product_id=274-369
Hi, Thanks for your reply. I use the Red and White Audio cables, and yellow Video cable from the VCR to the capture card. I've got a Stereo video cable that has the Red, White and Yellow connections at one end, and a Stereo input at the other (2 black lines). I've also tried using a separate calbe for the video, and the stereo video cable just for the audio - without much sucess. I'll try using the adaptor suggestion you made, and let you know if that works. Thanks
Forgot to mention .. Have also tried using one of those scart to Audio/Video/S-Video adaptors. Didn't make any difference.
