From a search of this newsgroup, it's obvious that several people have had
success converting analog tapes to digital using the Winfast XP2000 PCI
tuner/capture card. However, I have spent hours trying it, and I've failed
miserably. Nothing I connect to the S-video input on the card will render
on the computer screen. It's all garbled and trashy, if I get anything at
all. I've tried my Sharp analog 8mm camera and my Canon Optura DV. The
Sharp's only output is a 1/8" A/V jack, so I come out of that with a
standard 1/8" to RCA cable into an S-video adaptor. Then I choose "S-video"
input source in the Winfast PVR. I get nothing. When I use the Canon DV, I
come straight out with an S-video cable into the little yellow S-video
adaptor that came with the Winfast card, into the S-video input on the card.
Again I choose S-video input source in the PVR, and it's here that I get the
totally garbled picture.
Am I just completely missing something, or do I possibly have a bad card?
The tv tuner functionality works fine (although my remote quit working a
while back). Also, I'm using Windows XP Pro, if that has anything to do
with it.
Any help GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
