8. Troubleshooting
Hardware connection issues.
The PCUSBVC2 comes with and female S-video and 3 female RCA connectors. Most video
sources will also have female connectors. Male-male RCA cables or a male-male S-Video
cable is not included and must be purchased separately. Note however that these cables
often are included when buying a new video source (e.g. TV, Video...).
In case your video source only comes with a SCART output, you must purchase an adaptor
with a SCART connector on one end and three RCA connectors on the other.
Device did not pass Windows logo testing
This message can safely be ignored as it will not cause problems with other software.
Basically it means that Microsoft did not test the software itself.
Duration of recording
The PCUSBVC2 is a real-time capture device. This means that e.g. it will take 3 hours to
capture or transfer a 3-hour recording.
Size of recording
Recording size depends on the chosen format and image size. To decrease overall file size,
select a different format or reduce the image size. Note that this will also decrease image
quality.
E.g. in AVI format (no compression) 10 minutes of recording uses about 1GB. In MPEG
format this is about 200MB; in WMV about 30MB.
Transferring audio only to PC
This is not possible with the PCUSBVC2.
