Black screen while attempting to digitize analog video source

[PacificaBren]

Hello,

I am running Windows 10 on the Boot Camp partition of a late 2014 Mac Mini, and attempting to digitize an analog video source (a Laserdisc, to be precise) using a Diamond Multimedia VC500SE composite-to-USB external capture card.

OBS can hear the audio from the Laserdisc just fine, but I only get a black screen where the video image is supposed to be. I'm pretty sure the capture card is not defective, because when I used OBS in the MacOS environment, it can see the video image from the card just fine.

This is on a fresh install of Windows 10 that I just did today, and a fresh install of OBS.

Anybody got any ideas what I might be doing wrong?

Thank you!

There is not much users of the Mac here. OBS log-file can has more info about the problem you have.

Also, the source may be out of OBS Preview window (so you don't see it). You may try right-click menu over the source and use Transform sub-menu to change location of the source, so it starts at (0; 0) coordinates of the screen, if this the case, of course.

Thank you, I will give that a try!

And since my Mac is booted up from its Windows partition, running the Windows version of OBS, I'm hoping general Windows advice will apply.

Thank you, you solved this for me!
