Roxio's mistake was including one setting that captures using Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) which creates a huge file that most devices can't even play. Roxio is NOT the only product out there and they provide no support!!! Returning this $80 product today! I have read the tips and seen the headache after headache this is causing. I am attempting to trf VHS to DVD like most all of you and am having a delay in my audio.
I was hoping there would be a way to stop the software from 'helping out' by inserting the green screens, but I don't see a way to do that. Still, it's a giant pain in the butt that this problem has existed so long. Since I typically introduce transitions, titles, etc between scenes, this does work. If a video doesn't have many of these, the 'easy' way of avoiding the problem is to stop recording, then start again with a new recording beginning with the next scene.
Every point at which the Roxio software inserts this green screen, the audio gets a tiny bit more delayed because it also introduces an audio silence that is a bit longer than the green screen. The software seems to try to 'help' by inserting a short green screen break between the scenes. In the original VHS video, that break from one scene to another is also one where the recording is slightly garbled as it is transitioning. In every case it happens to me, there has been a break in the recording from one scene to another.
