#VIDBOX TROUBLESHOOTING ACTIVATION CODE#
I'm trying other options now and have emailed Vidbox, hopefully to get a new activation code for the software. I've used this before using the Vidbox software, but that was on an older computer that "crashed". The USB supplies both the audio and video data. Then, there's simply a USB connector out to the computer. Get free expert DIY tips, handy support, troubleshooting help & repair advice for all Honestech products.

When I first used this device it failed to record the tape audio in the output video but as it was colour coded I had logically plugged it into the green audio socket on my PC. (Note: most of the "Grabbers" don't seem to have this particular cable but it may be relevant) However, although not the same as the Vidbox with regards the leads, my variant of the "Grabber" has the 3 composite connectors plus the svideo plug that connect to the tape player and at the other end the USB input cable to the computer plus a separate audio 3.5 mm colour coded jack plug. So I create an avi file first and then subsequently load this into VP.

It wouldn't be necessary in fact to use the "Grabber" software that came with this little device although the interface for this allows you watch the tape and to check the contrast and colours etc. I have just tried this procedure out with my A/D "One Touch Grabber" card and Yes, VP loads both video and sound direct via the Record button.
