I thik you may have answered your own question when you said your Power Director was 'trial' software. Meantime I have found one mode (MP4, in very low res) that the Easycap software can capture in, and PD can read and edit.
I suspect that by design, my 'trial' software won't work with devices like these.
Using PD for the whole process would seem like the correct approach. That's my guess.Ĭurious that Windows seems to recognise the device, and a couple of other applications too. The issue may not be with the computer, but might possibly lie within the circuitry of the capture device itself which might be stopping PD12 or even later versions of Power Director to recognise the signal coming in via this device. Quote Devices like these, intended to capture from analogue video sources(video decks, VHS or Beta) or older cam-corders(Video-8, Hi-8 or VHS-C) are generally 'plug-and-play' when you hook them up and give your computer a few seconds to 'recognise' them.
