Canopus ADVC110 owners, I need your help!

[mauly]

Have just received it and hooked it up to my iMac G5 and VCR.... I'm using a s-video/audio to scart cable from the Canopus to VCR and have the dips in this position 1-off, 2-off, 3-off, 4-off, 5-off 6-on....

I get a good audio signal but the video is in Black and White!!!! can anyone help me out?

Are you going mac to vcr or vcr to mac? I havent used the Canopus, but here are some suggestions...

Check you don't have anything to NTSC on iMovie or the Canopus, ( or pal if you are not in the uk)

Does you VCR support svideo? svideo sends the signal as luminance & chroma down separate wires, if you video doesn't have svideo it might just be seeing the luminance part of the video.

Turns out my vcr isn't svideo compactible!

Works brill using red, white and yellow to scart!!!
