VIDEO CAPTURING PROBLEM

[vinayb]

Okay, my video input if the TV out port on my SONY tv. Im putting this via a RCA cable which converts into a stereo jack ( something like in this link, but with the yellow, white, and red cables >>http://www.monstercables.com/productPage.asp?pin=146) Im hooking this in my Sony PCG-GRT260G laptop with tv tuner.
Now the problem is that when I try to view something that s on tv(which is being broadcasted), my laptop screen shows black and white. The funny part is, if I run a dvd via a dvd player on my TV and try to capture while the TV is in video mode, THEN the video is colour. HOW ON EARTH DO I GET A COLOUR DISPLAY ON MY LAPTOP, WHILE LIVE TV IS BEING BROADCASTED????

Sounds to me like you have the input format incorrect for live TV, but correct for whatever format your DVD is outputting.

Check the input format for your composite input on the software on the laptop and verify it is correct.

What happens if you connect to the laptop directly using the laptops tuner rather than the TV's Tuner?
