| 478295 | 2006-08-14 02:04:00 | Bought a Leadetk Winfast TV2000 XP RM a while ago, three trips to the retailer, including purchasing a new soundcard that I didn't need, only to find out that because it only has one composite RCA audio in jack, I can only get mono audio when viewing or recording VHS . I specifically mentioned when I purchased the card, from PB Technologies in AKL, that I wanted it solely for VHS to digital copying for work . Hence he recommended their cheapest model, which at the time I appreciated . Does anyone know whether I can get a TV tuner card that does stereo sound through VHS? I am assuming if I get one with a line-out jack, to connect to the sound card's line in, that it will handle stereo? Or is it a limitation at the VHS level, because it only has one audio out jack? Will a VHS with S-Video be any different? I have about 20 videos to digitise, and would like stereo sound . PS: The guy I spoke to at Dick Smith's was adamant that sound wouldn't work at all, I mentioned that I had previously posted to this forum and was sure it did, and he started denigrating the forum . Whatever! |

S-Video will only affect the video quality, so shouldn't affect sound in any way. Does your software allow you to capture sound using your sound card, instead of the tuner? |

| 478298 | 2006-08-14 05:00:00 | I have just had a look at my setup. I have the left and right channels from my VCR plug into my sound card so it would be stereo. The cable I use is Known as a Y cable. It has 2 RCA type plugs on one end and a mini stereo jack plug on the other. As somebody said if your VCR dosen't have stereo out ie left and right channels it well be mono. Trevor :) |

| 478299 | 2006-08-14 05:40:00 | I agree with the above, I simply cannot see where the TV card sound capabilities comes into it. It's to be used as a video capture card only, the sound capture is via your sound card/motherboard sound inputs. |
