Frequently Asked Questions:
1. The VideoStudio software is asking me for a serial number, but I cant locate it/any number I type in
doesn’t work. What do I do?
The serial number for the software should be located on the sleeve of the envelope where your disc was
shipped in. If, for whatever reason, this number is not on the sleeve, there is an easy solution:
1. Insert the disc into the CD/DVD drive of your computer. When prompted, click on "Run HAutorun.exe".
2. Click on Browse at the menu, this will open up a directory with all the files on the disc.

3. Locate the file named "SN" or "Serial Number". Your serial number is located in this file.
2. I just recorded a video file in AVI and the filesize is huge. Is there anything I can do to lower the size of the
file?
AVI format videos are usually very high quality, but also take up a large amount of data (sometimes near 1
GB a minute or so). If you want a good quality video capture, with more reasonable file sizes, we
recommend you record your files in MPEG format. After many tests we have come up with a good baseline
setting, which is a good balance between quality and size.
1. Change the Format to MPEG:
2. Click on Options, and then Video Audio Capture Property Settings:

3. Click on the Capture tab, and click on Advanced:
4. Click on User Defined 1, underneath Templates, and select DVD NTSC (720x480). Click OK:

5. Click OK:
3. I’m trying to use the device with an application, but I cant select it/it doesn’t work, what can I do?
Unfortunately this device was designed with Ulead VideoStudio in mind, meaning this program will give you
the best compatibility and usage. While this doesn’t mean that you will be unable to use another program to
access the video or audio stream, it simply means that certain features will not be accessible through 3rd
party software.
4. I can see the preview, but for some reason the image is in black and white. What do I do?
This issue can be caused by a few things. First of all, ensure your device is properly installed by checking your
Device Manager and ensuring the components are properly installed, if this turns out to be the case then
reinstall the device drivers. The main cause for this issue will be due to improper compression settings. In
order to change these settings to see if the issue is resolved, continue below:
1. Change the source to AVI:
2. Click on Options, and then Video Audio Capture Property Settings:
3. Click on the Capture tab, then click on YUY2 and change it to l420 (or any other setting that may be
available). Click OK:
