UCEC USB 2.0 Video Audio Capture Card Device Adapter VHS VCR TV to DVD Converter Support Win 2000/Win Xp/Win Vista/Win 7/Win 8/Win 10

This product doesn’t work.It is waste of money.Seller is not ready to replace faulty product.It converts all videos into black white. Also, this is imported from US,so warranty is not valid in India.

S/w not great so used OSB. Successfully copied a lot of old VHS videos to disc. The direct USB connection is delicate and transfer is easy interrupted. The converter would benefit from a short USB lead on its output side.

This thing worked great for me! There aren't many instructions, but for me it was fairly intuitive. I've seen some people have to change settings to pick up the intended source, but mine went straight to the source (VCR) without doing anything to the settings. I set to record in DVD-NTSC format, thinking that could be copied to a disc and be ready to play, but that did not work like a regular DVD. It will play in a player that plays video data files. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that DVD Maker is no longer a part of Windows 10, so had to do some research to find something that would burn the disc to play like a regular DVD. I found DVDStyler, which was a free download, and it worked like a champ! It sets up menus and allows the disc to play in a regular DVD player. This software was also quite a bit faster than my previous experiences with Win DVD Maker. The video quality was as good as the original videos, which is not very high resolution to begin with (VHS-C). I'm very happy being able to save the old home movies to digital, because the old videos will degrade over time. The device gets fairly warm, but is well vented.

Overall a solid inexpensive product that works pretty well. It is hard to determine if the video resolution / quality is affected by the product - maybe a little but for the price I say this does work quite well. I agree with others that the software is 'clunky' but it does work and there is a LOT of options for output - so many that I had to research and try out to determine the best output options for me! There are MP2 and MP4 and several DVD output options (NTSC and PAL) and other various output options I did not mention. The MP2 option allowed for a number of output resolutions (horizon/vertical lines of resolution) while other options had the resolutions greyed out. I found that there could be problems with some formats playing in a DVD player for example - but I plan to use my Win laptop and all the formats I tried run fine on Win10. One thing is that I could not get MP2, MP4, or DVD FORMATS to run on my iPhone (wanted to stream to TV - loaded file to iCloud then to phone) maybe this can be done - by no luck yet. The included software did load and work the first time on a home win10 laptop - 64bit - i3 Intel processor 2.0 GHZ. Video stream/bitrates were fine with the standard defaults - but when I tried to change things - like increase bitrates I saw no real improvement in quality but the file sizes jumped up a lot (a LOT) and video jumping/skipping did occur - so I used the standard default with no skipping. Standard DVD equivalent resolution file sizes ran about 3 GB per hour so be prepared for big files! I have copied from Sony Hi8 and MiniDV with no issues. I used the RCA video and Svideo inputs and both worked fine. I did think Svideo was failing at first (no picture) but just needed to click a button in the software then a clear pic on my laptop to copy!Update: after a week of copying dozens of Hi8 videos from my Sony camcorder - I have some tips. I am getting really great quality copies by using the s-video cable and selecting MP-2 with a bitrate of 8000. This is a higher bitrate than standard settings but it results in very good copies. Your computer needs to handle this higher bitrate for this to work. Lower bitrates were resulting in bad video with lots of motion artifacts. Note that 8000 bitrate will need about 3.7 gig per hour of video.

I was looking for a capture device to convert some really old Super 8 tapes from an ancient Sony Camera. For the price point I didn't expect much. I was actually looking at getting the much more expensive Elgato capture card but after reading some reviews on this product I decided to go with this. Everything worked right out of the box. I am using a Windows 11 PC and the USB Device was detected right away. I used OBS to capture my video. When I first started to use capture there was a very loud hum coming from the audio output. It was very easy to fix. Just add a Noise Suppression filter in OBS and it will go away. If you are looking for a cheap way to convert old VHS or Super 8 tapes this is perfect!

I loaded this item onto my windows ten computer and an instant message came up that it may be transferring my system information to a third party!! Immediately removed it from my computer and returned it to Amazon.
