I have a VCR2PC ION player that is suppose to allow old VHS tapes to play and capture by connecting via USB to the PC. It captured, but in Black and white only...no color. Also the sound is not great.

May be your USB cable - not sure though, if you just purchased I would take it back and exchange for another. If you can't take it back you may want to purchase a new cable from Ionaudio.com and try that. they are about $6. Have you called them? their number is: 401-658-3743 and are usually very helpful.
I did have the same problem: images captured in black and white, even using the appropriate video standard. It is not the cable, I exchanged the cable and it still captured in black and white. And the sound keeps ticking even when I take the cable off. This seems to be a software problem.
hmmmm.... well, if you think it is the software, maybe try uninstalling it and reinstalling it along with updates off their website. let us all know if you get the problem solved. The only problem I seem to be having with this unit/software is that the audio seems to be off from the video alot, but from what I have read, that happens frequently when you go from analog to digital and I notice it even with old movies that are purchased. I'll research some more when I get time and if I find out any more about your issue, will post a reply!
