For years I have used my Canopus ADVC100 to have VHS transferred via mini DV/firewire cable to PC. Then after getting a new PC i had to tweak it to firewire 400/800 out to thunderbolt 2 to the PC.....
NOW, with a new PC which has thunderbolt 3, i daisy chained the thunderbolt 2->3 adapter to the firewire, BUT, for the life of me I can not get the video to show up on PC (tried
Sony Vegas, WinDV, even the very old scenalyzer!)
I am seeking either help with a solution (is it settings? or something I need to do with the "pins" on backside of canopus?) or need suggestions on alternative method.
Current equipment:
Dell XPS 7760 AIO running Win 10 home (i know this is not a dedicated PC for video, but also needed to satisfy the wifes request of the desk looking clean!): Intel i7-7700 @ 3.60GHz, 16gb RAM, with thunderbolt 3 inputs x2.
Canopus ADVC100 (been using for years and it suits my purpose, although in reading some guides here, it sounds like an upgrade or modification is in order?)
VCR is a JVC vp653u which i know is nowhere near on the list of preferred models, but i just now found your wonderfully informative forum, so may be searching for a model with TBC!
This won't be a majorly longterm issue as I probably have a couple hundred VHS tapes to review and transfer, so hoping I can modify current set up, but understand if i am out of options!
I was even thinking about Blackmagic Design Intensity Shuttle for Thunderbolt, but know nothing about how it works with Win10.
Thanks!
