The front panel array of inputs will not capture analog video/audio including the SVHS port. Only the Firewire port will capture. To capture I have to use the back inputs on the back of the machine - it has the Hauppage card installed from the factory. I bought the machine for the purpose of doing video editing and these front inputs were the primary incentive to purchase. They have never worked. After purchase I contacted HP about the problem and they told me they would not capture analog video using Vista OS. Page 4 in the instruction manual says they will capture analog signals both video and audio. The machine is now Widows 7 Ultimate.
Is there a method to make the front inputs function for analog signals ?
Thank you for taking the time to answer the question.
