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 really is an excellent Capture Card from Brand: 'VIXLW', and I do mean awesome. The idea being that the devices with RCA connectors or S-Video connectors, such as VHS, VCR, Hi8, Personal DVD players, Camcorders and more, can then be linked to a pc/laptop via the included USB port, and then using software the content can be digitised. This USB Video Capture Card converts anologue RCA composite audio/video from the likes of my old tape camcorder into the USB socket of my PC, then capture the audio without any sound card too, and capture the video too. As soon as I plugged in the device to my PC (applicable to Windows), the driver was Automatically installed. Then when I went to 'Device Manager' (in Windows), the extras were indeed there (while the capture device is plugged in): These being Cameras:USB Video [and] Sound, video & game controllers: USB Digital Audio (Please see one of my included images). The device literally WORKED effortlessly. One feature I also liked about this device, was, there was a short USB extender cable included, and this meant rather than plugging in the device to the PC's USB (causing the USB socket to be weighed down and worn), I was able to use the short USB extended cable instead, and this produced far far less wear and tear on the PC's/Laptops precious USB socket(s). I have included images of the capture card from 'VIXLW', showing some amazing results. At last, all those family DVDs, Family VHS camcorder tapes, and more, can be preserved more or less forever, before the actual original tapes fade in time. By the way the makers of this device suggested using 'PotPlayer' (for Windows) or 'OBS' (for Windows). Both programs look quite impressive too, in the instructions provided with this device. I, myself, used VLC player, (Video Lan Player), which captured and recorded, and included again are some of the excellent results. Very impressed indeed. Great price for such a useful and easy to use device. I really don't know why many people are struggling with this device in these reviews, truly it works, and I hope the info here helps more too.

Does exactly what it says and easy to setup .Great value for less than £10 for a device that can save your videos from different sources to digital . Recommend watching YouTube videos showing to guide you through the process and best free software you can download to do editing

It works fine, I am happy with my purchase. My only reservation is that occasionally it crashes and I have to restart it.

Works very well

Not compatible with my old Philips camcorder. So not a good purchase

I needed to copy my minidv recordings of some shows I was in and then share them with friends. This device was cheap and so so easy to use. Literally plug and play. Just downloaded the free open source software recommended in the manual. Extremely happy with my purchase.

I can fully recommend this as it worked perfectly for what I needed..camcorder tapes to laptop🍷

Functioned as expected, correct picture and audio. Worked with my VHS player without any manual setup

I bought this to provide a composite video input to a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. It's fully compatible, and it works great, taking video at 8+ fps (about the limit for my inexpensive MPI3501-based 480x320 SPI LCD to display) using OpenCV on Python. I have not tried the audio input at this time. It was really easy to set up, with an LLM's programming guidance at least. (: Video quality and capability of the stream from this device exceeds what my cheap display can output. That setup generally saturates one of the Zero 2's four cores while video is being captured and displayed, at least the way I have it coded now in Python. It could most likely be made more efficient - I mention this only for the benefit of future hobbyists considering this device for video capture on a Pi. At any rate - buy with confidence!

Worked perfectly to digitize a bunch of old VHS tapes. For anyone reading, I used OBS, and had to play around with resolution and framerate settings to get it to record properly (720x576 or 720x480, and 29.97 NTSC).

Very good plug and play product. Videos extracted sucessfully from my old model Sony handycam to my laptop thro OBS studio.

Funcionó perfecto en mi iMac con Mac OS X El Capitan. Use el programa OBS y lo configure en 2 minutos para capturar digital mis videos de cassettes VHS. Excelente compra!

It took me a little bit to figure out- but once I did it works perfectly! I just downloaded OBS version 32.0.1 from the Microsoft store. Followed the instructions the capture card came with and I was good to go. After you’re all set up on OBS, all you have to do is hit “start recording” in the lower right corner, then hit play on your vcr. Once you’re done just stop your vcr and hit stop recording- the clips will save to your files immediately. The tapes I have are pretty long so it’s been super easy to break them up into smaller clips. Great value for money. Seems really compatible with most any device because it worked with my laptop also!
