Hello,
The setup:
- an easycap plugged into my PC
- a VCR
- a SCART/RCA-S video cable between the VCR and the easycap
- the Honestech TV5 2.5 software apparently installed
- a PC with Windows 7/64Kbits
I click "s video" on the software.
I start the VCR (output first checked on a TV screen: ok).
Black screen on the Honestech software.
I have looked at several questions on the subject but found nothing that helps me.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thank you in advance,

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    We are a few regular contributors on the forum warning you, given the desperate messages from internet users, about using this type of "cheap" 4-wire key bought online:
    however, there are "tutorials" on YouTube made by people who have apparently managed to get this equipment working, check them out

    And:
    https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjdyPaguZPZAhXFbhQKHXH6CsAQtwIIKjAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DJMwNDaC0CWE&usg=AOvVaw1_Na-NHYMLhpJxv72G9M6U
    And again:

    For our part, we only recommend the "Dazzle" box, reliable, well-known, and widely used, delivered complete with editing software and compatible with Windows 10, but it costs around €60

    And you can resell it once the work is done on the auction site or "coin coin"
