HELP ME - AVer Media TV Hybrid Ultra USB

[donethat03]

I got this Aver Media tuner with my new gateway and it has RCA jacks to hook up a VCR but I can't get it to work. I go to Media Center but I don't know how to get it to read from the VCR. When I did a search on it all the ads said it plays the VCR on Media Center. I'm trying to record my home movies on my computer so I can put them on DVD. Someone please HELP me.

Hi there! Welcome to Digital Home Thoughts. Unfortunately Media Center isn't made for what you want to do. Do you have Windows Movie Maker installed? You can use that to capture video.

How do I capture the video through Movie Maker? Do I need any special hook ups or cables? Thanks for the advice and please help me wiith this if you can. I lost most of my home movies in Hurricane Katrina but managed to save a couple. I'd like to get them on DVD if possible.

Assuming your Aver tuner is hooked up correctly and the drivers are installed, just open up Movie Maker and select IMPORT > FROM DIGITAL VIDEO CAMERA. You should see your Aver device listed. If it's not listed, that might mean it won't function as a capture device. Go out and buy something from Pinnacle - they make nice video capture products.
