hi can anyone help me
I'm trying to record little movies from my video tapes
I'm getting great results picture wise
but not a peep soundwise

I ve got win tv usb
its a little green box
I ve got s video cable from the scart adapter in the video
I ve got a wire connection from the audio out in the video into the green box
then a wire from the green box to the microphone inlet at the back of the computer

I know theres an audio signal coming from the video cos I ve tried it in my music centre

then in software I go to windows movie maker




I click capture from video device

i m on settings nec via audio

video input source composite

audio input source line in
ive also tried in put source microphone

whatever I do I can't get a sound
My comp speakers are ok they give sound on movies I ve got from the net

i VE TRIED putting the audio feed from the vcr direct into the back of the computor


I ve tried various combinations in the movie maker software
has anyone got sound on movies from vid player using similar equipment ?
can someone nail the settings etc
or give any other advice
there must be some way to get sound onto these movies

thanks for advice
Jess
 
I havent actually used the equipment that you specified, the only thing i can suggest would be to make sure that mic is not muted or turned down in windows Volume settings... you should have a button on the right of the start menu or if not Start->Programs->Accessories->Entertainment (at lest thats where it is in WinXP)


If that is already switched on then I would reccomend trying to identify exactly where the problem is, the easiest way to do this is allow urself to rule out your software package as a problem.
Try using windows sound recorder (should be in the path above). This is a basic app that allows u to record sound through ur mic.

If that works you will know theres a problem with your other software settings, if that doesnt work then perhaps ur mic input is faulty...

hope that helps!
 
thanks
