Review: Very simple to use, highly recommended. - This device is very simple, yet very effective to use. The package includes a small DVD which holds the software to watch and record your VHS tapes. 1. Load the software onto your laptop, restart your laptop. 2. Connect the Diamond Connector to your VHS player. 3. Start the software on your laptop, and a bluescreen should appear. 4. Put a VHS tape into your tapeplayer and start. If all goes well, you should be able to watch your tape. Very simple and easy. After reviewing my selection of VHS tapes, I will record and burn them onto DVDs. For the price, ease of setup and use, this thing is amazing. I am now watching a VHS tape recording of the Beach Boys and Brian Wilson biography made in June1999. Haven't watched it since then, and it looks and sounds great on my laptop.
Review: Simple, Reliable Way to Digitize Old VHS Memories - Simple, Reliable Way to Digitize Old VHS Memories I’ve been looking for a straightforward way to transfer old family VHS tapes into a digital format, and the Diamond Multimedia VC500 delivered exactly what I needed. Setup was painless: plug the USB device into my PC, connect the VCR with the included cables, and install the software. Within minutes I was previewing the footage. The software isn’t flashy, but it’s easy to use and gets the job done. I especially like that I can capture straight to my hard drive or create files ready for burning to DVD. The editing features are basic but useful for trimming out dead space or rewinding past static. The video quality is about as good as VHS gets—grainy in places, but that’s just the source. Audio stayed in sync, which is important. One thing to note: the device works best if your tapes and VCR are in decent condition. If the source material has a lot of tracking issues or damage, no converter will make it perfect. Also, the included cables are a bit short, so you may want to have longer ones on hand depending on your setup. Bottom line: A solid, user-friendly tool for anyone who wants to preserve VHS tapes before they degrade further. It’s not professional studio gear, but for personal archiving and family memories, it works beautifully.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with windows 10?**
A: As far as I know it doesn't.  I bought this somewhere else and was even sent a replacement directly from the company itself because the one I had was not working on my Windows 10 computer.  Replacement also had the same issue.  You will hear the audio but will not see any video.  I initially thought it might be a computer issue since it worked on my Windows 7 computer.  I recently got another Windows 10 computer  and when I tried this device on the new computer I was facing the same issue I was facing with my older Windows 10 computer.  So it can be confirmed it does not work in Windows 10.

**Q: Will this work in Linux / ubuntu 14.04**
A: B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg

**Q: Can you transfer from VHS to a computer file, such as MP4?**
A: I use Windows 10 and using the EZGrabber, which is included on the CD with this package, it saves to the computer as AVI automatically. I don't remember seeing a choice for MP4.

**Q: When I try to load Ezgrabber, I get a message that says, RoxioCinePlayer can not be found, try again using a valid copy of rhe RoxioCinePlayer installation package, "CPDP ". My question is, where can I find a valid copy of the Roxio
CinePlayer installation package, "CPDP"? I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Any advice will b…**
A: It's been a few months since I did the installation, but your problem rings a bell. I'm on a Windows 7 system (and yes, the tool is called EZGrabber on mine as well). I ran into some problems that seemed to stem from the installation software expecting to go onto a system running XP. My solution: instead of using the product installation software, I just went into each individual folder on the CD and clicked on the .exe files. Although it took a few extra clicks, everything installed without a problem, and it all seems to be playing nicely. I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ works with windows 8, read for an unbiased review
*by R***D on January 30, 2014*

this was my first ever capture card purchase and as with anything when you buy something for the first time, you have to rely on other people's opinions, with so many different opinions it can be dicey, this review is based off recording gameplay in sd, i did not try the vcr hook ups, i want to say that to me this product works great, all you need is av cables from your system { wii, xbox, ps3 ect}. a double sides composite cables { red, white yellow} and 3 female to male audio splitters, super cheap on here, and of course obv a pc. i was worried as i saw many people say this would not work with windows 8, and i could not downgrade, so i had to hope it would work, i popped in the cd, just focus on the first 2 options, install drivers and install software, despite what the book tells you put the cd in first, plugging in a usb device then hitting cancel is just stupid with no logic. there are many useful videos on how to connect the device to you're system, i did it in 5 minuts, via you tube, so in closing i just wanted to add that this DOES work with windows 8, with no problems, i got no error messages, i think that the majority of the people that say * this product is sh....t it's broke * have sub par computers, or are trying to do it via a laptop which unless you have a powerful laptop you may run into many issues, and for the record my pc is pretty crappy, it's an all in - one hp touch smart, so my rig isn't blowing anyone away with specs, heck i only have 4gb of ram, it's a poor computer, and loud, but i had no ISSUES at all, i recorded my gameplay video, and quite frankly i expected the quality to be far worse after gaming in hd for years now it can takea while to get used to that again, uploaded video, checked it out and i am pleased for the price, for the money this is the best product on amazon imo, no green lines, no lagging at all, you can be up and recording walkthroughs and whatnot in a matter of minuts, 2 cons i would say i uploaded a 4 minute video of halo, and it was 5.43 gb of hard dive space, and it takes a whle to publish the video, so make sure you have possibly a couple hundred of gbs of hd space, and unless you have a really good laptop, with at least 4 gb of ram, you may have issues, but as for me it does as advertised, hope this review helps you decide if you want this or not
