Hi,
I'm a newbie really struggling with this - I hope someone can give me some pointers. I have a Leadtek Winfast PVR2000 card in a Windows XP Pro PC. Broadcast tv quality is brilliant, but what I really bought the card for was to transfer my daughters VHS video collection to DVD as the tapes are beginning to wear out.
My video only has a single SCART socket, so I bought this lead combo .
The supplied SCART adapter plugs into the VCR and connects to a 3 cable lead with phonos at the SCART adaptor end and a 3.5in jack and s-video male plug at the PC end. The 3.5in jack plugs into my sound card and the s-video plug plugs into a converter lead supplied with the card, which then plugs into the tv card.
I have posted a capture of the kind of interference pattern I'm getting at:

I have tried to relocate the capture card as far away from the graphics card as possible. The broadcast image is better, I think, but the image from the VHS recorder is the same.
Please note that the interference pattern occurs when I am just playing the video recorder 'live' through the capture card, so it cannot be anything to do with my recording settings (I think).
Any suggestions for what's causing this and how to rectify it?
(Also, has anyone ever got any actual support response from Leadtek? I've posted through their web site, emailed to Holland and Taiwan on numerous occasions and not got a single response. Guess they are DeadTek!)
TIA
Pete
