Customers have mixed opinions about the sound quality. Some find it excellent, clear, and good for playback.

First off, this did not work on my Macbook despite stating it would. The drivers/software are too old for the latest Catalina OS, it simply refused to install so this was a dead end. This was in December 2019.

Fortunately I had a Windows 10 PC and the drivers/software loaded fine but I HAD to use their software, I tried to do capture via VLC but it refused to see the incoming Audio device but this was not a big deal as their own software worked fine for the actual capture.

Read the manual that comes with it and follow it to the letter, do not deviate as it may not work otherwise.

Hooked up my old VCR, pressed play on it and then hit the Capture button. Once captured, I was able to export it as an MP4 file and drop this into iMovie on the Macbook for editing.

Very pleased for it considering the price, converted 25 VHS tapes and 10 camcorder tapes straight to digital!

I am unsure why others were unable to get this to work but mine was fine. Windows 10 PC, install their driver/software that comes with it and ensure you use the software to do the capture.

Although the kit looks well-made, I couldn’t download any workable software onto my MacBook to view videos etc. Perhaps this is because this item does not have a USB-C connector so I had to use an adaptor when plugging it into my laptop? Very disappointing.

I had to transfer parts of some old recordings from a sky plus box to a computer before the arrival of Sky Q. I chose this kit as the solution. Unfortunately due to the software upgrade on my Mac the software that came with the capture card would not work. Using the software on a Windows based laptop worked fine. It was a challenge getting a good recording though, and the software which was not intuitive did not help. My problems were overcome by adjusting the Scart settings on the Sky Box. Once I had a workflow going, this little gadget worked a treat. I did experience some crackling sound issues, which seemed like a hardware problem.

When I say "this one", it's because if you're looking for a good and simple capture card I would recommend this model over the more expensive ones and definitely wouldn't bother with the £5.00 Easycap versions I'm convinced that the Chinese Communist party will eventually conquer the west, not by stealth or force of arms but just by giving us all nervous breakdowns due to us snapping up assorted things that turn out to be shyte and won't work after a weekend of trying every permutation of cables, ports, Windows versions and ecen laptops. Such is the lesson of 'you get what you pay for' learned.

This one, however, really IS ok. It wouldn't play pictures on my new Acer with the latest Windows but seemed far happier on ny HP Pavilion g6 which has an older version. Both pictures and sound were very good and I doubt you'd get better quality north of £70.00 or a hundred bucks. One thing I REALLY thought was great was that as soon as you save the project you can just drag it onto the desktop and it instantly becomes an MPeg file complete with thumbnail.

The software is basic but all you really want is something that better software like PowerDirector will accept, right?. On that note, Cyberlink doesn't recognise it by detection on its Capture setting so you can't cheat and use Cyberlink to capture your VHS from the off but you can drag and drop the MPeg into Cyberlink later.

On the whole, not a bad little device at all.

Captures video, but no how you would expect
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2021
Verified Purchase
I wasn't expecting super high quality from this device as I live in PAL land - and in many ways I was right...

TL;DR: It does what it says, but not in very high quality. OK at a pinch.

First of all, the process of getting it to work was problematic to say the least. Try as I might I could not get it to work on my AMD PC, the default windows drivers, the ones included with the device on CDROM, or one downloaded from various places on the internet just would not work. The interface to control the capturing would appear, but it could not render any output using any software including GraphEdit which is a manual way of building direct show filters.

I tried it on my Intel Surface Pro, and it worked with the default windows 10 drivers! I have Premiere on this, so I started to capture using that, but because there is no control on how the video is capture it was using a mode that ended up being useless again thanks to compression and frame rate. It presents itself as a webcam and the audio seperately as a usb microphone.

I tried using the supplied software, but the software key would not work with the version on the disk, or a downloaded version, so could not try it.

In the end I connected it to my Intel gaming laptop, and using ffmpeg I could get more control over the capture. The settings offered are:
ffmpeg -f dshow -list_options true -i video="AV TO USB2.0"
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] DirectShow video device options (from video devices)
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] Pin "Capture" (alternative pin name "0")
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=640x480 fps=10 max s=640x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=640x480 fps=10 max s=640x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=720x480 fps=10 max s=720x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=720x480 fps=10 max s=720x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] pixel_format=yuyv422 min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] pixel_format=yuyv422 min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30

Selecting 720x480 at 50 fps gives more picture at the side and isn't quite the correct aspect ratio, so in the end 640x480 at 50fps was used.

The interface automatically deinterlaces the image, but sometimes gets it wrong resulting in flickering. One of the most annoying 'features' is an auto-gain on the video which causes the image to suddenly brighten or darken which is annoying. The fact there isn't a direct one to one relationship with the field structure results in soft images (even with lots of post production in FFMPEG when trying to recombine film captured footage which should give a full 576 full resolution progresive output but it soft thanks to it's own deinterlacing). In dark images and areas the MJPEG compression fails badly producing blocks in the image. Sound seems OK, though captures a little low in volume - havent checked stereo however.

After capturing hours of footage thinking it might be OK I'm now purchasing a Firewire card so I can use my camcorder (which has analogue input) to do the conversion as it will provide a 720x576 DV image as close to the original as is possible. Watching footage I've previously converted this way and the footage captured via this card is like night and day. You might get better results in NTSC land, but again I suspect you'll have the same autogain issues.

FFMpeg command used (NVidia hardware compression used, crop to remove head switching noise, scale to 720 for less loss in compression):
ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -f dshow -rtbufsize 100M -video_size 640x480 -framerate 50 -i video="AV TO USB2.0":audio="Microphone (USB2.0 MIC)" -vf "crop=632:468:4:4,scale=-1:720" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow -preset p6 -tune hq -b:v 10M -bufsize 5M -maxrate 15M -rc-lookahead 20 "%1.mp4"

Try as I might I could not get it to work on my AMD PC, the default windows drivers, the ones included with the device on CDROM, or one downloaded from various places on the internet just would not work. The interface to control the capturing would appear, but it could not render any output using any software including GraphEdit which is a manual way of building direct show filters.

I tried it on my Intel Surface Pro, and it worked with the default windows 10 drivers! I have Premiere on this, so I started to capture using that, but because there is no control on how the video is capture it was using a mode that ended up being useless again thanks to compression and frame rate. It presents itself as a webcam and the audio seperately as a usb microphone.

I tried using the supplied software, but the software key would not work with the version on the disk, or a downloaded version, so could not try it.

In the end I connected it to my Intel gaming laptop, and using ffmpeg I could get more control over the capture. The settings offered are:
ffmpeg -f dshow -list_options true -i video="AV TO USB2.0"
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] DirectShow video device options (from video devices)
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] Pin "Capture" (alternative pin name "0")
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=640x480 fps=10 max s=640x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=640x480 fps=10 max s=640x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=720x480 fps=10 max s=720x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] vcodec=mjpeg min s=720x480 fps=10 max s=720x480 fps=50
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] pixel_format=yuyv422 min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30
[dshow @ 000001775f829980] pixel_format=yuyv422 min s=480x320 fps=30 max s=480x320 fps=30

Selecting 720x480 at 50 fps gives more picture at the side and isn't quite the correct aspect ratio, so in the end 640x480 at 50fps was used.

The interface automatically deinterlaces the image, but sometimes gets it wrong resulting in flickering. One of the most annoying 'features' is an auto-gain on the video which causes the image to suddenly brighten or darken which is annoying. The fact there isn't a direct one to one relationship with the field structure results in soft images (even with lots of post production in FFMPEG when trying to recombine film captured footage which should give a full 576 full resolution progresive output but it soft thanks to it's own deinterlacing). In dark images and areas the MJPEG compression fails badly producing blocks in the image. Sound seems OK, though captures a little low in volume - havent checked stereo however.

After capturing hours of footage thinking it might be OK I'm now purchasing a Firewire card so I can use my camcorder (which has analogue input) to do the conversion as it will provide a 720x576 DV image as close to the original as is possible. Watching footage I've previously converted this way and the footage captured via this card is like night and day. You might get better results in NTSC land, but again I suspect you'll have the same autogain issues.

FFMpeg command used (NVidia hardware compression used, crop to remove head switching noise, scale to 720 for less loss in compression):
ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -f dshow -rtbufsize 100M -video_size 640x480 -framerate 50 -i video="AV TO USB2.0":audio="Microphone (USB2.0 MIC)" -vf "crop=632:468:4:4,scale=-1:720" -c:v h264_nvenc -preset slow -preset p6 -tune hq -b:v 10M -bufsize 5M -maxrate 15M -rc-lookahead 20 "%1.mp4"

Unica pecca le istruzioni sono lacunose ma con pazienza si riesce ad avviare tutta la procedura. Sto trasferendo vecchi nastri vhs su pc, dopo il trasferimento per poter vedere i video bisogna trasformarli in formato MP4. Tutte queste operazioni sono molto semplici.Ovviamente in tutti questi trasferimenti si perde un poco di perfezione dell'immagine. Ma l'importante è poter rivedere i propri ricordi.
