I have got a big problem with my being able to capture video from VHS and turn it into a computer file. I'm currently running a newly-installed package called Msi Digi@nywhere A/D Plus, also known as Soft Total Media 3.5, and the video capture software that comes with it is called 713x BDA Analog Capture.

I don't know what BDA stands for. However, this story starts way before that. I had been capturing video from VHS and turning it into computer files for years using Power Cinema 3.0 software, which came bundled with the ATI Sapphire TV tuner hardware. The guy who installed it doesn't work for the computer company that sent him here anymore. As I recall, he bought it himself and installed it and charged me for it. (I may try to find him, but for now, I can type this on here.) You can view the Power Cinema results at.

All videos except the webcam video and the Quiet Riot video (I'll come back to that) were done using the Power Cinema software. In September, all of a sudden, the Power Cinema software just stopped being able to capture video. When you click on capture video, nothing happens, and the screen, which was showing the audio and video coming through the device just fine, turned into the Power Cinema logo. You continued to hear the audio. Actually, previously, for a while - no idea how long - it would do what I described above just the first time, then I would go back and go into it again and it would work just fine.

Now it had totally stopped. I bring that up only because I had installed a webcam in the summer and I was wondering if it was incompatible with the Power Cinema software. And with all the nightmares below, I never really did get an answer on that. So the Quiet Riot video I mention above I used for, which I can't even do with the new software now. But I'll get to that.

Anyway, as I said, the company told me the guy I had originally seen didn't work there anymore and, in fact, no one worked weekends. I was willing to wait until this past week, two months later, when I had a week of holidays and could see someone else.

So the guy comes in and he can't help me. He talked about updating drivers, which Cyberlink (Power Cinema makers) told me to do, and he said he couldn't do that because it would take too long because I only had dialup. (I'm unwilling to pay $40.00 a month for internet. I can watch video at work or a cyber cafe down the street. In fact, for the videos I create, I actually compress them, burn them to a CD, and walk the CD over there because I can't upload them to You Tube with dialup.) So we tried downloading the current Power Cinema 6 (trial version). It took 8 hours.

Turns out Cyberlink took out the capture video from current Power Cinema versions. In fact, there wasn't even some of the things advertised for Power Cinema 6 there. All that was there was My Videos and My Pictures. I don't need software to view that. I tried e-mailing Cyberlink. I think their responses are automated or at least partially. I asked if capturing video from VHS was part of Power Director now.

Amit, who signs the e-mails, didn't answer that question. He just said Power Cinema 6 doesn't capture video from VHS.

I uninstalled it and reinstalled Power Cinema 3. I took a slower look at Amit's original e-mail about updating drivers. I ran some words through Google. I found out you update drivers like this: 'To update the sound card driver, follow these steps: Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click System. Click the Hardware tab. Click the Device Manager tab.
