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.

I would have expected to pay ten times as much for something that brings this much joy. I've unlocked all my old home movies from 20-30 years ago. The device is literally plug & play on Mac, and the instructions are easy and intuitive to follow. The contents of my old camcorder are now on the big screen and I couldn't be happier!

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

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

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

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

Worked very well, exactly what I needed

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 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!

I bought this to convert old VHS tapes to digital on my computer. It got the job done and I would recommend it. It’s compatible with any VCR as long as you have the proper cables. It connects well and secure without the wires disconnecting. There is no noise at all and it has a solid looking design. It’s very versatile as not only can you convert VHS as I did but also other things such as DVDs and more. The recording performed well and looks ok. There is some slight audio desync if it’s a longer video but nothing too bad. Overall I would recommend especially for the low price.
