If instead you are using an S-video cable (round, with a bunch of pins inside), then you need to select that.IMPORTANT: READ THE FOLLOWING TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTINUING THIS INSTALLATION. If you are using a yellow RCA cable for video, this is composite video and the setting should indicate that. You also don't want NTSCJ (Japan NTSC standard), if they have it.In the 'Video Settings' option, you want to make sure the Cable Connection matches the cables you are using for the capture. You sure don't want PAL: you are located in the USA and therefore I assume the tapes are North American VHS.

First, you should make sure that the Video Standards (in Properties - Video Decoder tab) is set to NTSCM.

You didn't say what version you have, but it sounds like you got it recently, so I downloaded the latest version.Looking at the manual, there are most definitely some settings you might have screwed up. While your gadget may not be the ultimate capture device, I doubt that, if properly configured, it would do this poorly.I did a quick Google search (you should do this too) and then also downloaded the manual for the 'VHS to DVD 9 Deluxe' version.
