Hello all,
I've recently bought an Avermedia DVD EZMaker 7 USB capture card. I'm not entirely sure but I think it might be faulty, but as I don't have much experience in this sort of thing I thought I'd see what others make of the problem.
When I capture video there's an area at the bottom middle of the image that's blacked out. I've tried via svideo and composite using a DVD-recorder and a WDTV Live box as the source, but the artifact is still there. I used VirtualVCR to capture with, but it displays the same in VLC when I go to open capture device. The artifact is also present when capturing with VirtualDub. I've attached some screenshots showing what I'm referring to. The screenshot of the DVD-recorder's menu was done via svideo and the black area shows up clearer on that (I tinkered with the contrast/brightness and saturation).
Please let me know what you think the problem might be.
