Capture Card, USB Video Capture Card Device, Audio Video Converter Grabber for RCA to USB-Convert VHS Mini DV VCR Hi8 DVD to Digital, for PC TV Tape Player Camcorder, MAC Windows Vista Compatible

This thing does exactly what it's supposed to with a minimum of fuss. I plugged it into my Windows 8.1 HP notebook, it automatically installed the driver and I was ready to go. The current version of OBS only works with Win10 and up, so I'm using the free version of NCH Debut to capture video, which is quick and simple to use. Simpler than OBS, in fact. Video and audio quality are as good as you can expect from an RCA composite video input. Remember if you're converting old VHS tapes to digital format that VHS only has a resolution of 240 lines as opposed to 780 for the lowest HD resolution. Watching a VHS tape, or digital rip of one on a modern screen will usually look worse than watching it on an old-fashioned tv, because the HD screens are usually larger, plus the higher resolution really shows all the flaws. That's not the fault of the capture device, but rather of the original recording itself. You can't squeeze more quality out of a recording than what's there to begin with. In my experience using this unit, a digital rip of a VHS tape looks no worse than watching the tape. I think it's amazing you can get something like this for a mere 12-15 bucks that works this well. As long as you're not using a truly ancient computer, and you know what you're doing, you should get good results from this unit. I highly recommend it!

Worked right out of the box on my iMac. Hooked up an old VCR, hit play and walked away for an hour. I now have a perfect copy of an ancient VHS tape that I found and was able to then upload to YouTube and share it with all my college friends! I would imagine it will work with a Windows PC but I did not confirm. Must have if you have any old media that is deteriorating in a closet, garage or attic and the playback device has a composite or S-video output and analog audio. All you’ll need are the cables ! Excellent product. Easy instructions. Well done!

It's not professional equipment but it works if, for example, you're just trying to digitize some old VHS-C tapes from a camcorder (which is what I did, and it worked fine)

So, I almost returned this product because Windows 11 would not pull it up on OBS , Potplayer, VLC, etc.... Even though my computer recognized that there was a USB video device. It would also work just fine on my apple macbook pro, but not in any program on Windows 11. However, after digging a while and trying to nail down the issue, I found what causes this capture card to not work in Windows 11. If you are having this same issue, go into your settings, open up the Camera Settings menu, and enable the camera access. At least this is what finally allowed me to use it in OBS, and VLC. I assume this means it will now work in the other programs as well. But, as for the product, I believe that it is a decent product for the cost compared to other capture cards. I am sure that after using it for some time there will be some downsides, but so far I like using it.

Works well with my conversion set up.

I have a large collection of vhs tapes and I want to digitize them before my remaining VCRs die off. I’ve been looking for an adequate solution for this, and I’m happy to say I’ve found it. It’s not this adapter though. I tried this adapter, and it works ok at first, until the signal starts to show what looks like interference before it cuts out. And it takes a while for it to come back. Needless to say, with an unstable signal, it’s not good with long recordings for archival purposes, let alone being worth the money. So I tried an composite to hdmi converter. I was initially skeptical of this solution, but when I tried it, not only did the picture look fine and the signal was completely stable, but it did such a convincing job at upscaling you would almost mistake the VCR for displaying in the 16:9 aspect ratio instead of 4:9. I am able to use the composite to hdmi converter with an hdmi capture card and it works well enough for my needs. There is some stretching noticeable with the upscaling, but I was pleasantly surprised with how good it looks. And with a VHS tape, especially old ones, you’ll be noticing the artifacts and interference on the recording itself more then you will the stretching. So long story short, before you buy this adapter, consider using a composite to hdmi converter with an hdmi capture card. It works surprisingly a lot better then this composite capture card, which you would think, and I did too, that it’s the opposite way around.

Works well to capture Nintendo 64 footage. Three stars due to the input latency through the capture device. I recommend having a separate display via splitter if you're using this for recording purposes! Beyond that, it was plug-n-play, and works!! Haven't tried the s-video admittedly, do wonder if that'd help input latency.

Easy to use

Does as it says at an affordable quality. I am currently using device as part of a 'tapeless' camcorder build, sending audio and video signal out of my 90's Sony Handycam into an old cellphone via an additional USB->USB C adaptor. The USB on the phone is enough to power this device, transferring content live to the cellphone where it can be captured using input capture software, successfully using the optics and guts of the Camcorder to record video without having to use expensive tape in a finnicky and dated mechanical device. Helped me bring life back to a camcorder that was constantly eating tape and having transport button issues. I've also used this to rip old VHS tapes from a VCR into my PC. Was exactly what I was looking for to pair with my tapeless build.

a good product. only negative point is that they give driver software in mini CD. This technology is outdated. Fortunately I have CD drive in by old desktop so i uploaded it there and then transferred to my laptop using thumb drive. otherwise the product is good. met my expectations.

Funktioniert einwandfrei. Anleitung ist sehr gut geschrieben sodass jeder sofort weiß was er zu tun hat, welche Programme man benötigt und wie die Einstellungen sein müssen um das beste Ergebnis zu erhalten.

Looked the goods, but no matter what we tried, the DIGITNOW would not recognise my MAC,so it is NOT a Plug & Play. The recommended OBS software did not fix the issue and I am now out of time to return.

He tardado un poco en empezar a probarlo, por falta de tiempo pero cual ha sido mi desilusión cuando ya tenia mis videos VHS familiares para pasarlos a DVD, no funciona con Windows 10. He hecho de todo incluso activar la compatibilidad con Windows, este ha sido el que me ha dejado seco cuando he leído "programa no compatible con Windows 10" . Pero resulta que ya ha caducado el tiempo de devolución, ósea que me lo voy a comer con patatas.
