why when i record from camcorder to dvd recorder i dont get both video and audio?

by thomaswanhoff

three days now I have searched for this very answer .
# 1 if you record from camcorder to dvd recorder and you either get signal or video but not both i recoomend you take your camera and cables to a house wolf camera and let them sale you the proper gear , will save you a lot of time
#2 the cable that came with your camcorder interconnect 1 in 3 out cable
most liable its a waste of time , and its hard to get , whats happened its not color coded properly you can play with it a bit to see which one is the video its suppose to be yellow but its liable its not.
you can by at walmart a 1 in 2 out for audio only and also use the svideo for the video conversion ,

if you are excellent with these things lord thought i was , but is my 30 year ancient self laughing at the 18 kid who said i would never get out dated on technology.
you can hook the camera to the tv if its accepts svideo , and tape from tv by the dvd recorder , easies,
if you have software originally packaged for your camcorder , you may be able to record to computer
note , if your having a hard time , its not you its the outdated camerra and cables and software , computer records digital your camcorder records analog. most people answering your questions cant know exactly of all equiment capabillities and why you are having such a hard time , it took me numerous numerous days to figure this out ..its not that simple i beleive adobe reader would not bed in properly for me , when questioned why i was having such a hard time , the asnwers were my camera was broken or by more expensive cables .
if you got to this question trying to figure out why you cant do something like record from camcorder to your new dvd recorder . this is an attempt to help you
your camera is not broken most liable . the cables that you have were not made correctly . you will need both svideo and a y stereo adapter
hook the svideo to the dvd recorder
now hook audio and video cables the three color wire white , red and yellow cables to your tv , so you can viiew it as it records .this is to the audio video out )))))))
now set your dvd recorder setup up . go to video , menu , choose svideo and either l1 or l2 either front or back i use l1 the back )))))))))
now hook the svideo to the camera , turn the camcorder to the vcr play mode and play tape , your tv if you hooked the out to the tv video in properly you should now receive a video footage of the tape.
now plug in tthe y adapter to the camcorder . in most cases you will still need an extension (6 foot audio cables from this about $ 4.00) plug the male into the camcorder and the audio caboles into the female part of the y adapter , now plug the white and red color cordinate to the video imput as indicated on the back of the dvd recorder . note it did not work for me in anticipation of i did this as the very last step.
also i did not note , do not use the battery power for this use the adapter or charger while this process takes house not sure why , just read in many cases not too.
i worte this to help someone i just got mine to work and said i would try to help ‘
save yourself some time and go take your crap to a salesman ,
once youve upgraded all your cassette tapes by a new camcorder , the quality of the video will be much greater .

svideo to camcorder and dvd recorder and y stereo adapter you need both , svideo does not convert signal , hook these up to the camcorder and dvd recorder . ten hook audio and video cables to tv imput , this wire is the yellow red and white the three cable wire. that you probalbe already have .
excellent luck this helped . i read it and its just hard to clarify . but if your like me its late and you cant do anything unitl tomorrow

take all your stuff the camcorder the dvd recorder , and cables to a salesman like a wolf camera rep
just tell him taht youve learned your lesson and next time you will by form them , dont worry he will have to sale you some type of cables and tell him you will be in for a new dvd camcorder in the near future , this i highly recommendd to you
NOTE IF YOU RECORD ANS THIS WORKED FOR YOU AND NOW YOU HAVE POOR ADUIO QUALITY LIKE A BUZZING NOISE , YOU NEED ONLY TO HOOK UP ONE AUDIO TO THE DVD RECORDER IMPUT FROM THE Y STEREO ADAPTER ON TEH CAMCORDER

YOUR OLD VCR ONLY HAS ONE AGAIN THE CABLES ARE OUTDATED , ANALOG NOT DIGITAL JUST DOES NOT READ IT . I GOT IT TO WORK BUT IT HAD BUZZING SOUND , THEN I TOOK THE RED AUDIO IMPUT OUT AND THE GREAT VIDEO AND SOUND QUALITY RECORDING AS I TYPE NOW .

Incorrect or defected cable

sorry, got lost in the vent… was it a conundrum with the saleman? no details on the media equipment…

I have a Sharp VL-NZ100 Digital ViewCam camcorder. Sometimes when I am recording, the screen will sometimes flicker conservational and other colors. This shows up on the video, too. It cuts that part of the video out. It uses a MiniDV tape, what is incorrect with it? Does it need the heads cleaned? It is a really nice camera and I want to use it for my YouTube videos. I don’t know if it was dropped… it was in a free pile at a yard sale as it is.

Answer by Scott
If it records at all, it is not liable hurt from a drop.

Get a cleaning tape, if sharp makes one try to get it, but a Canon, Panasonic, or other major brand should be O-K too. Be warned, these things are around $ 20.00 usually, the excellent news is you should only need one.

Your other option is to take it to a camera shop and have them clean it. Talk it over with the techs and see if they have any suggestions.

Also, just to be sure here, only use new tapes.

If you get this working reliably, it has the potential to outperform any HD camcorder under $ 2000!

Excellent luck.

if it was a conundrum with the heads, you would not see it in the viewer when recording. it has to be a conundrum with the CCD or image processor. this is a 9 year ancient camera that doubtless deserve a final burial in a landfill somewhere.
