Hello everybody,

After several trials (and errors) I could finally back up my old VHS family tapes on DVD and overcome an everlasting out of synch problem.
To do this my VCR was placed close to my computer.

I am trying now to record TV programs from my sat receiver which is far from my computer (I have a 10 meters long cable – one for composite video, one for sound in line-in of my sound card)

Everything goes well, except that the sound on the final video is very very low and noisy (Basically you cannot hear anything)

Is it due to the cable length ?
If yes, is there a way to overcome this (amplify the signal or whatever ?)

Thanks
