   I bought this to move my VHS tapes to disk.

   I got video to work out of the box on my Windows 7 system (I think update the drivers, its been 6 weeks). I use 740×480 at highest quality and the highest frame rate (9500 for me).

   Audio through the EasyCap never worked – way to much ugly background noise. After a month of playing around, I read from someone else to run the audio through the microphone jack. All is now well.

   Took a chance on this little $9 gadget after reading mixed reviews. I’m running Linux and the Easycap makes no claims to support Linux. That’s a shame as it works extremely well!

   I got a driver from here:

   [. . . ]

   I’m now transferring old VHS tapes to the computer with no issues. Picture and sound quality is surprisingly good. Definitely much better than I expected.

   For reference I found these options to work well for encoding:

   mencoder [. . . ]

   This de-interlaces the video and saves it in a raw video format. I tried transcoding to x264 in real time but had some dropped frames. Instead I save in raw format and then transcode over to x264 with:

   mencoder test. raw -oac mp3lame -lameopts abr:br=128 -ovc x264 -x264encopts bitrate=500 -audio-delay 1. 5 -o test. avi

   I needed the audio delay to make audio sync properly. The resulting file is 2. 8 MB/minute.

   It works, but induces a background noise on any video/audio captured. The sourceof the noise is the device, not the camera, VCR or computer.

   I bought east article a few months ago because finally it wanted that a capture device video transferred our old woman homemade films to the disc, so that we& #039; it much more has them to d during time that the VHS can never last. Surprise, he didn& #039; work of t. He wasn& #039; compatible t. It decided since he was cheap to buy I& #039; subsistence of d he and waits for until it increased my computer. I finish buying a new laptop determined for the uses of the multiaverages and the edition to house current superior 64bit of Windows 7. Conjecture what, still the device doesn& #039; work of t. It is that this particular device can only work in the edition 32bit of XP, Vista, and prossibly of Windows 7. It& #039; of bad s also that I bought when it, espec. didn& #039 of the technology; t says any thing on that. Hardly ready for the use! Well, that& #039; bulletin of s. I looked for around the Internet by the days that up-to-date conductors looked for. Everything that I found was the connections of parodia which they transferred malware, or nothing. Unless you have a computer working with of the specific operating system, don& #039; t obtains east device. I can& #039; t even locates a manufacturer, so I can& #039; it makes contact them to t with enemy with in obtaining a conductor. Microsoft doesn& #039; t has any conductor, and nobody will offer the aid in this device. It& #039; s an old model, and wants it gone. Therefore, he takes my advice, déjelo pick up the dust in maker& #039; shelf of s, not his.
