Hauppauge USB Live-2 skews VCR menu
 

Hi all,

I've been trying to access the menus of my JVC HR-DVS3 through my Hauppauge USB Live-2 capture card.

Issue is, I get this horrible multi-coloured distortion whenever I open the menu or have it on the default screen. Playing tapes is no issue whatsoever, they look fine, and the menu also looks fine when I view it through my Elgato Game Capture HD (not an ideal capture card though.) My Panasonic VCR also displays menus and works 100% fine with my Hauppauge. It's just a specific issue between this VCR and this capture card.

This can be replicated in both Virtualdub and OBS so I don't think it's a matter of the software I am using. I'm thinking it's some kind of driver setting, like a TV compatibility option maybe, that I'm not able to find.

Please refer to the attached video clip to see what I mean.

Lack of external frame TBC is likely.
And if that's the case, issues during capture are likely (and you won't notice until actually sitting and watching the entire capture).
