It probably works "fine" for him capturing 10 seconds of a retail VHS tape to make his silly little Youtube videos. The Youtuber is an idiot to even suggest it. This isn't a gradation of bad/poor/fair/decent/good/better/best/perfect. Or you get the right equipment, and all is well. It totally doesn't work correctly (dropped frames, etc) + it doesn't look good at all (tracking errors, wrong colors, etc)
I'll probably not see another VHS tape for at least a few more years when I'm tasked to do it again. I have been tasked with a few videos to transfer, and that's it.
I can also fix most of the glaring color issues in post production. The material I'm dealing with is not particularly valuable or dependent on great quality.
For the application I'm doing, I'm sure the result will be sufficient. That's fair, I totally get it and I appreciate your insight and expertise. I'm using an HP Windows 10 64 bit system, Intel i3, 8 GB RAMĮl-cheapo "UVC" USB capture device connected via composite to a VCR. I tried opening the Windows Camera program and choosing the device, no picture there either.Īny ideas on what I could do to get this working? The device seems to have installed properly according to Windows, it's listed as "USB2.0 PC Camera." Unless there's supposed to be another driver for it. The instructions that came on the disc are rubbish and reference some other software that wasn't on the disc. The software on the disc it came with is called honestech TVR 2.5, and it doesn't show any video either. The picture and video works fine connected to a TV. It's connected to the VCR via standard composite cables. There are no options under Video Source, it says "no sources." I don't know what I'm doing wrong. In virtualdub2, it just shows a black screen. I have since got a new laptop, dug the adapter out of storage, and I can't get it to display any video. I know there are better solutions out there, but I don't want to invest a lot into this for a couple old tapes.Īnyways, I have used this same adapter a couple years ago on my old laptop running windows 10, and it worked fine. I'm trying to capture some VHS tapes to PC using this cheap Eas圜ap USB device and my laptop.
