A-i-w 9800 Pro Video Capture Problem. Hlp Pls

[leousb]

Just recently bought an ATI All-in-Wonder 9800pro card and have yet to get it to capture . (btw I'm presently running winXP SP2).I have the card installed and I have my ati inputbox (that purple box) hooked up to the card and a single RCA,video cable going into the video-in slot of the box (the other end goes to my VHS ).

I've been trying to use the included ATI player (MMC) to capture video but to no avail, tried Pinnacle Studio 8 and nothing..

When I play the tape I get nothing on the PC screen,

Tried rebooting - nothing
Tried checking the wires (of course) and they look ok.
Double check in software (MMC by ATI) that the input was "composite" the other options are tv, and S-Video, nothing

Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED . I basically bought this card to back up my VHS collection so pretty frustrated here .

Looked for the ati guides and they´re horrible for this troublshooting

Thanks for any and all help

Thx both of u guys for your comments, But:

@Bozo: Already read that guide and followed it every step, but that doesn´t solve the problem, that is, I cannot see anything on my pc being played in my VHS, If I could see the image then I could record something.

@LED: What do you mean by leave evrything unplugged?? When I set up my pc I installed the AIW with just the DVI (LCD monitor) plugged, just yesterday set up the connections (S-Video --> composite adapter included) to plug my VHS.


All help, Comments Very Much Appreciated . . .

The Breakout box can mess up the install alomg with SVHS cable hookups

Can you watch TV on the AIW? Hook up cable TV and see if that works. Not much help, but at least it's a bump for you.

You did right click in the middle of the screen and choose your connector right? You choose either S-Video or composite... RIGHT?

Thank you guys, problem solved, Checking the Device Manager saw that the Ati Rage Audio wasn't working. I disabled it and installed latest WDM, weird cause that's what I had, go figure, tried it again and voila . . .


Thx everyone for your valuable help . .
