Elgato Video Capture – USB 2.0 Capture Card Device, Easy to Use, Convert Analog to Digital, with VHS VCR TV to DVD Adapter, for Mac, Windows or iPad

Fantastic! Works so easily. If you have a little technical understanding, you know which cables you need to connect to your analogue device. It has RCA or S Video options so good for most devices. Software is basic but effective and I can now watch my videos from the 90s! Very very pleased with this product.

Bought this to move old family videos on mini DV onto digital format on my laptop and ipad. Works really well, very simple to use.

Delivered next day. Amazing Amazon. I wish I'd bought this in the first place. I'd ordered a cheaper video grabber and the audio had failed, so bought the Elgato instead. Brilliant, intuitive software and excellent picture and sound quality with no dropped frames. I've bought Elgato products before, and I really wish I'd bought this first. Set up was completely painless and intuitive. The software is well-designed and does all the work for you. Would buy from this company again.

Easy to use but little control on quality and file size could be improved but I don’t think they will

Quality very good, one of the few capture devices that gives a pretty good quality for SD video. Very efficient. I used to archive with a data video dac200.... can’t get the adapters for that to the new macs now... this Elgato is far more efficient (mpg4) 1 hour is just over one gb in size (the old sac was 13 gb for an hour at nov.) Add extreme motion, like sprinting, or tennis game, there is a bit of pixelisation, but for general video the quality is excellent. I archive quite a few tapes, and I’m very happy with it.

Cannot get it to work. It just freezes on starting.Would give it zero stars if possible.

Used to transfer old VHS films onto PC. Really easy to set up software and worked first time. Remember to set the right aspect ratio and away you go. Software also allows you to adjust video in case you need to adjust saturation etc

This was so easy to use, I was apprehensive about transferring all my family's hi8 videos but this was a breeze. The only thing I'd note is you have to go and download the software from the website. Transferred from a Sony handycam to macbook pro

Facile à installer, efficace. Les numérisations sont parfaites. Basique mais on ne demande rien de plus. Le post traitement si nécessaire devra toujours se faire avec un autre outils que celui de la numérisation.....Mac a Imovie qui est largement suffisant. Rien à voir avec ROXIO EASY VHS to DVD.......qui ne mets pas ses programme à jour et qui fonctionne tres mal.

VHSテープのデジタル化を考え購入。 Macで問題なく使えます。 アプリも簡単。映像を取り込んだ時点で切り取りもできます。

El dispositivo es robusto y con una buena longitud de los cables. diferentes elementos para adaptarlo a los distintos posibles aparatos, cámaras, vídeo cámaras o dispositivos con cables RCA. El que sea USB 2.0 no tiene importancia, ya que la conversión se realiza en tiempo real, Incluye software de Cyberlink (Este software se ha de bajar de su página web con el dispositivo conectado al ordenador) que nos servirá para realizar el traspaso y optando por diferentes formatos de salida. Buen producto, totalmente recomendable.

L'ho acquistato reduce da esperienza negativa con un prodotto analogo più economico. Ero quindi discretamente prevenuto, ma presto mi sono dovuto ricredere. Il software è essenziale, non aspettatevi di poter intervenire a livello avanzato sui vari settaggi. Badate bene, non lo reputo un difetto. Volevo un prodotto in grado di assicurare una buona qualità di acquisizione con pochi fronzoli, e utilizzabile da chi, come me ha poche conoscenza tecniche in materia di audio video. E così, filmati formato 8mm sono tornati a nuova vita, acquisiti e convertiti in formato mp4. La qualità è buona, per le mie esigenze e considerata l'età avanzata dei video (>20 anni) direi quasi ottima. Il prezzo non è dei più economici, ma ne vale la pena. Per abitudine leggo sempre le opinioni negative, ho deciso di provare, ed ho avuto ragione, non riscontrando nel mio caso i pochi difetti lamentati da altri. Ripeterei l'acquisto al 100%

I have an old 8 mm Sony camera that used FireWire for uploading the video to a computer. It worked great on windows XP. But when Windows 7 released it was glitchy, and I’ve never been able to get it to work on windows 10. It also has a component video audio out port. That is a small 2 1/2 mm plug that adapts to the yellow red white component video connections. It is an amazing old camera but technology moved away from fire wire. I sent the camera to a high-end camera shop that cleaned and tested it. I read a number of Internet blogs on how to make fire wire work with windows 10. I download countless drivers, tried numerous configurations, and it would not upload video. I finally gave up on the FireWire cable, and purchase the Pinnacle Dazzle component video capture device. Years ago I had pinnacle studio 14 and loved the program so I had high hopes this would work, but it did not. Driver issues and all kinds of glitchy gave me countless hours of troubleshooting to no avail . I was really frustrated! I was really getting worried since I have about 50 tapes spanning 35 years I need to digitize and preserve. Nearly 100 hours of memories. After watching an excellent YouTube video about this Elgato device I took one more chance and purchased it . It’s the best $90 I’ve ever spent. I hooked up the device to the component video on my camcorder, went to their website and download the Software for the capture device. I double clicked the software, and there’s four simple steps. 1. name the video click next. 2. Push play on the camera to make sure the video is coming through on the screen. once you see the video click next.3. Confirm you have sound. You can hear the sound when it comes through and there’s a 2 bar scale at the bottom of the page for the right and the left channel of sound. Once you have sound push the red button that says record.4. Wait for the entire video to play which most tapes can run up to two hours and once the video is finished click stop recording. No joke it’s that simple! They had some nice features like muting the sound so if you want to upload the video while you’re doing other work you’re not distracted by the sound. If you know your video on the cam corder is only a 60 minute tape you can automatically stop recording the video at 60 minutes so you can leave your computer and not have to worry about being there to stop it. There’s another simple area that will allow you to adjust the contrast brightness and other settings of the video to try to improve it. I played with this for a little while but found the default setting is the best for my videos. Depending on your computer it takes a short while to render for finalize the video and store it on your hard drive or which ever device you are saving it to. I have a New computer with the Intel I9 processor and and Nvidia 3070 graphics card and a 2 hour video takes about three minutes to process which is incredible! Each hour of 8mm video takes about 1 GB of memory. In the past two weeks I’ve uploaded nearly 25 of these two hour videos directly onto my NAS! I highly recommend anybody with a component video VHS or 8 mm camcorder or anything with the yellow red white cable that wants to save their memories to buy this device! Spend the $90 for this particular one since Elgato’s capture software is the secret sauce! There are hundreds of these devices for sale that look pretty much the same and there only $15. Don’t get fooled by a cheap price! If pinnacle studio can’t get the dazzle device correct I can’t imagine a $15 cheap knock off will get the software correct. Thank you El Gato! You have a very reliable very easy and excellent product! My children in their 30s and my grandchildren are enjoying watching all of these videos through my Apple TV!
