1. Fault search

Where do I find the licence code for the VHS to DVD software?	The licence code will be automatically entered once the software has been installed. To do this, you must confirm to the security message that appears when you first start the software by answering “Yes”. If you have inadvertently skipped this step, you will need to uninstall and subsequently re-install the digitalisation software.
No video signals are transmitted.	Please check the cable link and whether the correct input signal was selected in the digitalisation software. You should also make sure that the graphics card drivers of your computer are up to date.
No audio signals are transmitted.	Please check the cable link. Then check whether the correct input signal has been chosen in the software.
The quality of the video files recorded is poor.	The quality of the recorded videos primarily depends on the source material used. The cable connection and the input signal used also play an important role. Please use high-quality cables in order to avoid aloss of quality. If your device has a S-Video output, this should be connected to the S-video input of the Video Grabber. The S-Video signal quality is higher by contrast with composite connections (Cinch).
The pictures are shown in black and white.	Check whether the correct settings regarding PAL/NTSC have been made in the software. Also ensure that the signal cables are properly connected and functional.

If no preview image is displayed, right-click on the program link. Go to the compatibility tab and check the box for reduced color mode. Then select 16-bit colors from the drop-down menu.
