Hi,
Thank you for your response.
In analog content, there is a content protection mechanism calls Macrovision. It is usually implemented in a commercial VHS tape but sometimes there would be false detection in a home VHS video tape due to the tape is dirty. This protection detection mechanism is implemented by the capture devices, not PowerDirector.
When the capture devices detected there is protection, the device will tell PowerDirector to stop recording and then PowerDirector will show the error message as you saw.
We are afraid that the issue is not able to be resolved from software side. Per explained, the protection mechanism is implemented by the capture devices and PowerDirector has to follow the industry standard to stop recording.
It is suggested to clean your VHS tape as a possible solution to avoid false alarm from the capture devices. You may also try to update your capture device driver. It could be a possible solution as well.
If condition remains the same, please provide the following:
DxDiag. Kindly refer to the steps below and/or you may check the tutorial video on how to generate the DirectX Diagnostic Tool:
