S-VIDEO black & white signal from VHS to PC using TV@where Plus. PLZ PLZ HELP.

I have had TV@where plus now for a few months after having many many sound related problem recording from VHS to PC using TV@where master.
Didn't know about this forum so after many months of AGONY i purchased TV@where plus hoping this would resolve the problem. 
I am trying to capture from my video player VHS to the PC.  I only have a scart socket on my video so i purchased a scart to s-video cable and i get a great picture on the computer but no colour?
I have spent a few hours reading through the forums, most of which are quite a few years old but have had no luck.  If anyone can advise i would be very grateful.

Hi Pete!
When one unit is sending analog and the other digital (s-video) the picture turns black and white....
If your VHS player supports S-Video you firsth need to change a setting on it, but it's most likely that the VHS dont support S-Video, try changing the setting on the videocard (TV @nywere) or buy a new cable not using S-Video...

  • Toshiba 32C120U "no video signal" from my Mac Mini using HDMI to HDMI.

    My Toshiba 32" 32C120U is not getting video signal from my Mac Mini. I bought the Mini for my son and this is his TV. I have hooked up the Mini to my older 22" Toshiba and my 56" Samsung with the same HDMI cable and it works great on both. What the heck is wrong with my son's 32" Toshiba? I did update the firmware on the TV and the Mac Mini has been completely updated as well.
    I have also tried both HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 ports with his Xbox with success, so both ports work. I have also tried both ports with the Mac Mini and there is "no video signal" on both ports. I noticed that when I hooked up the Mini to the other TVs it automatically selects the best video setting, so there is obviously some communication that happens between the Mini and TV, but that is not happening with my son's TV.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    I solved my issue . . . returned the Toshiba for an Insignia . . works great.

  • Imovie video NTSC to PAL from VHS captures only in Black & White, HELP!

    I'm trying to capture video via a Pinnacle Moviebox to Imovie. PAL VHS through the box is fine, no problem. As soon as I switch to NTSC setting and run an NTSC VHS tape the picture reverts to Black and White. Changed the cable, changed the VHS player, talked to Pinnacle, no advice offered. I am getting deperate! Need to transfer tapes urgently for a show-reel. All advice gratefully accepted.

    Check your settings and cables: feeding composite video through a s-video cable yields B&W image.
    So set the (S)VHS deck to either composite-out/s-video-out and use a corresponding composite/s-video cable and feed that into composite-in/s-video-in.
    Also remember that a SCART connector can use either composite or s-video.
    ...there are quite many permutations that can go wrong there!
    Also older PAL TVs play NTSC as B&W.

  • S-Video port and importing from VHS

    Where can get an s.-video adapter to my iMac... The point is I wanted to imported directly from an VHS reader to my iMac, converting the image to digital (I guess...)
    Is it possible, I really want to get rid of old VHs without having to connect it first to the digital camera.
    Regardsssss
    CV

    catarina,
    I would be weary before buying an s-video adapter. i've never heard of one but if they exist i assume that they connecto to the DVI port. this adapter and the DVI should both allow for INPUT, i've never used the DVI so i'm not sure if it's both in/out. also: depending on what program you use, IF you also want audio with your movie, it's not going to work with iMovie,iMovie imports everything that has ALREADY been digitized through the firewire, and if you used an S-vid, you wouldn't be able to import the sound through the optical(AKA audio) port. trust me, i;ve tried sending only video from camera to firewire and sound through optical, it doesnt work. MAYBE this is different for FINAL CUT PRO, but im not sure.
    Finally, there's a factor that i'm not certain about but it is an educated hypothesis:
    the computer itself is not the component that actually digitizes, it only receives the digital information and inputs it into the hard drive. when i use a digital camcorder as a passthrough from my 8mm deck, it's the camera that does the actual conversion, not the computer, the camcorder exports that already digitized info to the iMac. so i;m not sure if just an s-VIDEO "converter" is up for the task.

  • No video (black), audio only, from imported .mov files

    Bear with me while I explain the whole process to get where I am, which is that in FCE, I am importing .mov files and they are completely black, no video, just audio.  When I bring a clip into the timeline and try to render even a small clip, it is still black.
    I'm not well-versed in video so please bear with me:
    Steps:
    1.  I received large video files from a videographer
    2.  the large files could not be imported or played in FCE
    3.  downloaded HandBrake converter and began converting files.  Kept them at the same size, but they were then renamed .mov files.
    4.  When I open them in QuickTime, they are black - no video.  But when I see them on the drive and press spacebar in 'finder' to play them, I can see the video.
    5.  When I import them into FCE they are black - no video - just audio.
    FCE is currently set (in Easy Setup) to:  AVCHD-Apple Intermediate Codec 1920-1080i60
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I tried converting one file to mp4 and it works fine in FCE, but this takes a long, long time to convert.
    thanks
    There is a 2nd issue that may relate to this:  I am trying to import JVC .m4v files and I am getting "File error 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unkown".  These files CAN be opened in Quicktime.
    FCE HD 4.0.1
    Mac OS 10.6.8

    I'm having similar, but slightlly different issues.
    I have been using FCE 4 on Mac OSX 10.7.5 with Quicktime 10.1 (501.29).
    I convert my footage in Mpeg Streamclip (GREAT free program) and set the files to the Apple Intermediate Codec.  This makes them work really well in my timeline and I don't have rendering issues or problems.
    So, my problem comes when I File/Export/Quictime Movie.
    The original file plays fine, but they're 2-3 gbs each, so I put them into Quicktime to convert them to a webfriendly size, but every single time they come out as an audio only file.  GRRRR!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Maybe I'm missing something stupid.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Sincerely,
    Steve

  • Using video and audio signal from a camera connect...

    Why is it not possible and is skype intending to implement the ability to use the video signal form a digital camcorder connected to a tv?
    A lot of people these days have digital camcorders or digital cameras that produce video signal. Why can't those be supported as video input by skype?

    Hi,
    The following ports are at the back of your computer:  
    Figure 4: Back I/O panel
    1 - USB 2.0: 4
    2 - LAN
    3 - DVI-D
    4 - D-SUB port (VGA port)
    5 - Audio: Line in
    6 - Audio: Line out
    7 - Audio: Microphone
     You already mentioned DVI-HDMI : it works but no sound. That's true because DVI does not carry audio signals. All you need is using RCA cable to connect port #6 to your TV.

  • How can i read pwm signals from a rc receiver using myrio??

    Hello, i bound a transmitter (rc remote control) with a receiver which i connected it (the signal's pin) to the digital port on myrio. It showed me a boolean indicator, and it wasn't turning on the whole time even when i moved a cursor on the transmitter. When i put a time delay of 1sec in the code the results started to show true on some positions of the throtlle. Can anyone tell me how can i interpret those result to create signal conditioning and control some motors?? thank u all in advance

  • Video stream won't seek past ~2400 sec using flex 3's VideoDisplay.  help!

    I have a video on the developer edition of FMS 3.5 that is quite large.  The total time is ~19,000 seconds.  Seeking to points prior to 2433.482 seconds work fine using VideoDisplay.playheadTime.  However if I try to set the playheadTime to any number over 2433.482 seconds, the video state is as follows:
    Video state: seeking
    Video state: paused
    Video state: buffering
    Video state: playing
    and the video never reaches the point.  it just stops at 2433.482
    I have messed with this for days.  I'm pretty sure it's not the flex application.  I looked through the conf file on the server but I couldn't find any variable that would be restricting it.  please help!!

  • How to keyframe from colour to black & white

    I am trying to do a video from present then moved to the past. So I am starting a clip from colour, then slowly it turns into black & white.
    I have 2 questions:
    1) How do I keyframe the above effects ?
    2) Instead of using the Sepia effect, is there other effects to make the video black & white ?
    Thanks

    no, not possible.
    Mask is a shape that either allow or block visibility.
    The content on the mask layer is define as whole, you can't
    pick.
    Whatever is that you don't want to show has to be removed.
    And no, you can't use video to be a mask.

  • Iphone shows black & white photo's & video when connected to HD TV?

    I bought the Apple composite A/V cables to connect my iphone 3GS to my HD TV. While both photo's and video do play on the TV, they are in black & white. Does anyone know why? Is there a setting in the iphone that allows color? I'm sure it's not a setting on my TV, as all other devices that I'm able to connect to the TV work in color, except the iphone. Any suggestions?

    I know that on some TV's(Samsung as an example) not all of their component inputs will work properly with composite cables and will display in black & white unless the correct input is used. Try using a different input like the one labled number 1.

  • Convert color images to black&white bitmaps

    Hi,
    I have black&white scans of public domain books (image format). I use an OCR software to convert them to indexable PDFs (image+text format). However, the OCRed PDFs are insanely big: a 27 MB scanned PDF leads to an indexable PDF of 728 MB! And unfortunately, my OCR software doesn't have output settings, so I have to find a way to compress the files using Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro.
    Using Advanced Options > Optimization does reduce the file size, but not significantly. The problem seems to be that my OCR software converts the black&white scans to color images, and encodes them as such inside the PDF. So I need a way to set the image modes back to black&white. I tried using the Advanced Options > Preflight dialog, and selecting "Convert to black&white". However, the resulting PDFs stay about the same size! It seems that "Convert to black&white" converts the images to grayscale, instead of to bitmap.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I mentioned "bitmaps", because when I open the original PDF and right-click a random page and select "Modify image..." and open the image in Photoshop, the mode is set to "Bitmap mode": meaning 1-bit mode, containing either black or white pixels. However, when I do "Modify image..." for the OCRed PDF, the mode is set to "RGB Color Mode". I think this explains, in part, the huge size of the OCRed PDF.
    Maybe this table will make it more clear:
    Original PDF (Bitmap Mode, 132 dpi)
    Size: 27 MB
    OCRed PDF (RGB Color Mode, 300 dpi)
    Size: 728 MB
    Now, from the table above, it's clear that I have to reduce the image resolution. So, using the Acrobat's PDF optimizer, I tried the following settings:
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 1 (Downsample to 132 dpi, JPEG compression)
    Size: 733 MB
    Optimized OCRed PDF: Try 2 (Downsample to 132 dpi, ZIP compression)
    Size: 449 MB
    But 449 MB is still huge for a single book. And I don't want to reduce the resolution under 132 dpi, because I will loose quality. Clearly, if the original document is just 27 MB, I should be able to squeeze the OCRed document too. But I don't know how.
