  @Jim_H My pleasure, Jim. Can't help with the settings; it depends a lot on the source VHS eg if it's dark, increase the brightness/contrast. Washed-out colour, crank up the saturation (although a lot of this can be done in MEP after you have

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  @Jim_H The ADVC-300 will be a much more capable DV converter than your camcorder. It has controls for adjusting many video variables such as contrast, saturation, hue. I would therefore remove your camcorder from the chain completely and just use

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  You were right. I didn't have the AV->DV turned on in the camcorder. I got the feed from the VCR through the camcorder with no problem into MEP, and could record. However, when I hooked up the ADVC300 between the VCR and the camcorder, MEP didn't

  RE: VHS to digital via Firewire problem; MEP 2015
  @Jim_H  It looks like MEP is behaving correctly because you are getting DV from your tapes, and, I expect, you'll get video from your ADVC-300 too. For DV capture, MEP only has that one DV Device Driver option. Other capture methods have multiple
