I wanted to digitise some old vhs tapes of the family and kids and so I bought a generic EasyCap type device. This wasn't very successful - I had driver problems and ended up with poor quality video and no audio. I decided to spend a little more and purchased the ClimaxDigital VCAP 303. What a difference! The drivers installed without fuss. I didn't bother with the bundled editing software and used my own copy of Ulead Video studio 11 instead as this is what I am used to using. The capture device was detected without problem in VideoStudio. I have now converted several of my old home movie VHS tapes using the VCAP303 on my core i7 laptop running Windows 8.1. I have not experienced any dropped frames and the quality of the conversion is very good. If you want to convert your old vhs tapes to digital don't bother with cheap generic devices- spend a little more on the VCAP303 and you won't be disappointed.

4 stars because the hardware itself it's good but your paying for very poor software. I bought this to record off my xbox despite the mixed reviews and spent a whole day getting the damn thing to work, here is what I came up with: The software that comes with the cap card simply doesn't work, I would recommend downloading corel video studio 12/13 - you get a 30 day trial so you can keep installing and re-installing unless you want to buy it. If you are using red blue and green connectors from your xbox to your tv, plug them in. MAKE SURE THE SWITCH ON THE XBOX CABLE (near the socket) IS SET TO STANDARD, NOT HD. This is because the card won't record in hd. connect the red yellow and white cables (from your xbox) to your capture card and plug it into your computer. load up video studio 12 or which ever version you have, click movie wizard then capture, now click options video properties and select the following: input source: composite (the red blue and green cables - im not sure how to set it up without them ie scart or hdmi) TV system: NTSC_433 - this seems to be the only option that records both sound and colour in pal 60hz, any other setting doesn't seem to work. (for best quality go to template and select the profile name DVD NTSC HQ 16_9) hit ok and turn on your xbox. The only thing I have noticed is that there is a sound delay when recording - this doesn't affect the final video but its a bit odd. Edit: I have fixed the sound problem, it requires 2 audio splitters and one male audio to audio cable (red and white on both ends) You need to plus the two splitters into the red and white connections on the ezcap, then plug the red cable from your xbox into one end of the red splitter and the same on the other splitter but with the white cable. this provides audio for the ezcap. Now plug the 3rd connection from your audio cable into the free splitter ports (again corresponding to colour) on the other end of the cable, plug the red and white connectors into the red and white ports on the back of your tv (or speaker setup) this will then provide the ez cap with audio but you will still be able to hear the sound through your speakers without lag, it all turns out ok in the final video too. for making the best quality videos search on youtube for tutorials on how to render videos. These are the setting I use which work and I hope this helps other people. any questions just send me a message Edit: broke after a few months, sound became patchy and video skipped, tried to get a replacement which turned out to be complicated so in the end I got a refund, now I just have to buy another one ¬_¬

I've had the EasyCAP now for several weeks, which has given me time to really use it to copy several hours worth of family analogue video to digital and then burn onto DVD. I've used both the EasyCAP and the software that comes with it both of which have been excellent and reliable. I thought long and hard about buying this product rather than something more expensive given the mixed reviews. However provide that your computer is capable of processing the video stream, you should have no problems. I have a 1GB 3.5GHz Athlon 64 bit computer with about 80GB free on the hard drive. I would imagine that if your hard drive is getting full then storing the temporary files during DVD burning might be a problem. I shut down any background programs (such as Microsoft Office toolbar) during capture and leave as much of the RAM free as possible to handle the load. Technical support are very good. During installation I forgot to restart my computer and got an 'already reistered' flag when I tried to run it. My query email was answered within a couple of hours (this was on a weekend). Technical support not only contacted the software suppliers and verified the authenticity of the serial number but correctly suggected the remedy (Remove then reinstall). All in all I'm highly satisfied and have recommended EasyCAP to friends.
