Problems in Black and White with SVHS

[eltax2]

Could anybody give me some advice on why when i connect a SVHS lead to my capture card it plays back in black and white using a scart to SVHS, and a SVHS to SVHS lead.
The composite video lead works fine but I am lead to believe that the SVHS connection is better quality.
Could anyone advise.
Thanks

ive had the same problem with a dvd videologic card and found that it worked better on a sony tv than a wharfdale. the sony came out in colour but wasnt a good picture.
And ive got the same problem again with a dell laptop with ati graphics card in it i can only get black and white

Hi,
There could be two resons for this.

1) Your video recorder is not a s-vhs one. If it is not you'll just get a black and white signal.

2) if your vcr is a s-vhs one you have to go through the on screen menus and select that you wish to outphut s-vhs on scart and from which socket L1 L2 L3 etc.

Yes you are right . I used a SVHS Video changed the output on the menu screen and it worked fine.
