I've tried AVForums, but no joy.
I've been using my Bridge for a couplf of years, generally without problems. Spent all day Saturday trying to import 1/2 of VHS to no avail.
I've swapped hard drives, and VHS recorder.

I'm using Pinnacle 9 to import, as most DV programs don't wotk with it.

If I press Play on the screen, the video shows, but cuts off after less than a second, then stops. Also, every 30 seconds or so Autoplay pops up saying it's found the Bridge. So it looks like it's resetting. I've powered it off several times, but still the same.
I'm using XP, as Pinnacle 9 doesn't work with Vista. Reasonable spec machine (been ok before).

Any thought welcome, I've got a few tapes to convert (and this one is Clarckson reviewing the mk 1 GTI!
