movie maker 2 colour?

I am trying to capture footage from a sony hi8 camcorder
through a belkin capture device (F5u228) hi speed usb 2.0
dvd creator. I am using a composite video cable and an s-
video cable. I get a good picture and sound but it is
black&white (no colour) can anyone help.

Hello there,

That might mean that the pin carrying the information on colour is not
connected in some way, try moving the plug in the socket slightly whilst
watching the display.

Best Wishes.....John Kelly

Hi Spike,
I've not had a chance to work with this device yet myself. I'll try to
get a hold of one and try it. My suggestions would be to:
1. Make sure you have the latest drivers which are available from the
Belkin website.
2. We've done some work on USB2 streaming devices in Movie Maker 2.1,
which is shipping in Windows XP Service Pack 2, these changes may also
improve the experience. Starting August 25, it will be available to the
general public.

Good Luck,
