Thank you Terry,
  I believe you have help me to solve the problem.
  I was only trying to use the DVD player with the TV Converter to test VLC software see if would stream and capture video. Because the people here that I work with want to incorporate the TV converter to a dedicate server and want to be able to get news and be able to capture the video of the broadcaster.
  But we wanted to test the vlc software and TV converter first before connecting to the network.
  Thank you very much for your help ..
  Now I need to find out how to go and try another way.

  Happy new year

  Herb

You can either:

(a) (simplest) rip the DVD to your PC, extracting the .VOB files to the 
PC’s HD,  using a DVD Ripping Program and your PC’s DVD drive,
and thus demux them for manipulation

Or (b) ( slightly expensive, but not hard) buy a “black box” that 
Will get around the Macrovision, and then follow my setup 
To insure you get a proper signal transfer. Most Black Boxes do not 
Have FW out, only analog, thus the need for a card/box like the canopus
That will bring in the signal to the computer via a native port.
Your tv converter, if it has analog inputs and USB out, should work.

Just google “ VHS black box” or “Analog stablelizer” or “De-Macrovision Box”.
Should run you around $30 to $75 US.

Ok Terry, Are you saying that The DVD movie is blocked therefore I can't play or capture video from the DVD player. What can I do to get it to work.

Thank you much I appreciate for helping me with this issue.

  AFAIK, a DVD player would have it’s signal locked via Macrvision to prevent casual copying.
My set-up at home has DVDPlayer to Black Box then to Canopus ADVC-100 then to FW to Mac.
The Black Box is an Analog /Macrovision buster, and it works fine. Without it in the loop,
I get the green  screen with Horizontal lines in the playback.

    Hello guys,

I have been trying to capture video from external cd player I have put a lot of time on this.

I can play it locally on the pc but when I want to capture the video from from the external cd player does not work.

This is what I have pc with windows xp, USB TV converter 402U and I connect the cd player to the TV converter. when I click play I get a black screen but no signal.

If some one knows what is wrong or what type of configurations I may need to do 

Please let me know.

Thank you all..
