Hi everybody!
I desperately need your help, because during 2 last days I'm trying to set up the Blackmagic Intensity Extreme (Thunderbolt edition) capture card, but unsuccessfully.
I have MacbookPro (2011, Mountain Lion), the capture card and DVD-VHS LG DC476 (combo)
The VCR has composite outputs (Yellow) for VHS & DVD, component outputs (Red-Green-Blue) & S-Video exclusively for DVD, also SCART.
Please help me to find out - what must be the software settings and what inputs/outputs I must use to get ANY picture in the preview window and ANY quality of capturing?
At the moment I have nothing on it, just a black screen and only sometimes the screen blinks and I can see the distorted DVD-player standby screen picture....
I also tried to connect my SONY full-hd camcorder via component cables (R-G-B), but got same result - nothing. No preview and no capturing.
I also bought external RCA/S-Video -> HDMI converter, thinking that the card has problems with all these RCA connections and might be working fine if I connect my VCR to the Extreme via HDMI input, but again - there's nothing changed....
Previously when I had PC and Pinnacle capture card, my VCR was working with that card just perfectly.
Now I start to think that I made a mistake and simply thrown away $300 for one of Blackmagic products. Will be happy if I'm mistaken now and someone can help me to fix the problem.
Thank you all!
