Need HELP digitizing VHS - Getting no video feed no matter what!

Hello everyone,

This is the first time i'm trying to digitize a VHS, namely some old family tapes from the '90s.

After one day of screwing around with this i've pretty much run into a dead end. I've gotten so far as to bring the analog audio feed from the VHS to my PC, but the video feed won't work no matter what i try.

Here's the setup i'm using;

VCR Recorder -> Standard Scart to RCA Adapter (3 RCA Plugs IN/OUT) -> LogiLink EasyCap RCA to USB capture card -> PC

And here's a pic of the whole ordeal;



So far i've tried three different applications on the PC i'm using for this, a trusty old thinkpad running win XP - They are "honestech VHS to DVD 2.0 SE" (this was the one that came with the capture card), WinAVI Video Capture and a program called VideoView. I also tried Magix Easy 4HD on my main PC yesterday but that gave me a BSOD after a short time of fiddling around, and since the capture card seems to have issues on Win7 anyway i switched over to my laptop.

I briefly got the audio to work there with the honestech application, but the video feed won't show up no matter what settings i try.
This is what the video feed looks like in VideoView when i chose "PAL 60":



Basically just a still image with a lot of artifacts.

So my question is, how can i possibly get the video feed to work properly? I mean it *should* work properly if the sound does too, right? Is the capture card possibly a faulty model needing replacement?


I'm very thankful for any and all tips and help regarding this matter.


-Thanks in advance.
