VHS Digitizing - Hi8 tapes only show in preview when in FF

Hello

I hope someone might be able to help me.

I am trying to digitise my family's collection of Hi8 tapes as a gift for my parents.

I have a Sony Handycam plugged in to my PC using EasyCap. I've used this set up before successfully. I am recording from a mix of MP and LP Hi8 tapes. I am on Windows 11.

When I start playback on the camera, the preview box is a blue screen. If I FF, the video is visible albeit it has bars across it. If I stop FF, it briefly then shows the video as it should be, before going back to a blue screen. If I then FF again, it shows the video with the bars. I've uploaded a video to YouTube to show the behaviour.


Please can anyone advise what might be causing this issue and what I could do to remedy it?

Many, many thanks in advance.

A.
