It contains driver CapWiz 3.8 but this is dated 2007 and was built for Windows XP. The manufacturer's address was www.adstech.com but it is not alive. The device is listed in device manager but it shows DRIVER NOT INSTALLED code 28. It also shows that it is installed on port 4, hub 3. It was a good program to convert VHF tapes to DVD. The ADS DVDXpress cannot handle unstable video so I hope you are using a Full Frame TBC otherwise you will have trouble. The ADS Instant DVD 2.0 is much more forgiving of unstable video so if you don't have a Full Frame TBC I would return the DVDXpress for the Instant DVD 2.0.
Hi
I have recently taken delivery of a new computer ... I want to capture a load of old Hi8 family videos & bought the ADS DVDXpress external capture device, as well as an extra external hard drive for saving the captures to & gold plated leads ....
There were 3 programmes included with the hardware ... on disc 1 is Capwiz 3.5 & uLead DVD MovieFactory 3, and on disc 2 is uLead VideoStudio 8.
Problem is ... disc 1 just will not read at all. Disc 2 is fine & VideoStudio 8 has installed. I have been to the ADS website & downloaded 'CapWiz 3.61 with drivers', but when I go to run CapWiz, it tells me that 'the USB driver for CapWiz has not been installed. CapWiz will not be able to preview or record without a compatible USB driver installed'....
How do I install these drivers? How do I capture? I'm pulling my fast receding hair out now!
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it!
Ian
