First of all, try an input from a stable video source (like a video camera). A VHS is a tough device to interface, as the syncs jitter a lot. TVs can compensate quickly enough, but the sync circuits of capture cards can have very hard times with some VHS machines.
If there's still a problem using a camera, you have to find if the problem is in the capture card, or with the system.
Is this a USB or IEEE1394 device, or a plug-in card? Is is programmed to support your TV standard? (NTSC or PAL)
I use Studio with an AllInWonder 9600 as the capture device, and it works great for me. But I use it with my video camera, not a VHS.
