Hey Derek, I have a VLab Y/C board and experienced the same behavior as your board a few weeks ago. There may not be anything wrong with your board at all, but the software settings may need to be changed. Look under the CONTROL menu. Then the SCAN submenu. If there is a checkmark by the MINIMIZE NOISE option, then that is your problem! Turn minimize noise OFF for moving video sources. That choice is only for a still video source. VLab boots up with the software settings last used. I'd been grabbing stills one day. The next day when I went to grab from a video tape the board acted just the way you described. It threw me for a loop for a while, but eventually I remembered about the MINIMIZE NOISE function and turned it off. I hope this solves your problem. Roger C. Van Duyn // on AutoPilot
