can someone please help. I've followed every instruction in the manuals and
examples, but i can't get the movie maker to detected the vcr. I've bought
every adapter RCA makes to connect the vcr. the instructions sound so
simple"use the blue line-in connector to attach .....vcr. Now there was no
blue tip connector with the computer when i bought it, should it have been?
All the computer store keep telling me that these RCA adapters sould work bu
they do not. Can anyone help me please??!! OH YA my computer does not have
sound cards just the blue, green, pink/silver holes in the back for
connecting stuff.
