Hands on with the EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter with audio

Have u test it with Play station 2 conneted to laptop or PC? How’s the performance? Is it recommended?

When installing the product I can see that it needs a lot of memory. In my case several Gbyte for just a few minutes of recording. Is that normal? Or have I done something wrong?

I’ve just bought one but can not get it to record from my TV, it works great with all other inputs but when connected to the scart from the rear of my TV it recieves no signal. have i missed some sort of setting that needs changing?

I like simple things, but will this item work on a Linux Operating System?

Video is great but the audio is scratchy when I playback. Am I missing a setting somewhere???

is this will work on Mac computer???

The installation requires Windows XP Service Pack 2. Ihave Service Pack 3 on my PC and can’t install drivers. Any solution? Thanks.

I have Windows XP home on one PC and Windows XP Pro on another, both with service pack 3. The supplied drivers do not work on either PC and trying to use the device causes both PC’s to hang. Other drivers I have downloaded either are not recognised or cause the same problem.

@Stefan: Nope, that’s normal if you are recording in uncompressed AVI-format, which you probably do.

This works perfectly under Vista home premium 32bit sp1, with ulead videostudio 10 se!!!
of course, this will work at it’s best if ppl have their os’s licensed, not some crappy pirated software!!!
The only bad thing I see in it is maybe caused by ulead…
I can’t seem to be able to record audio through it’s rca jacks using my sony ccdtrv608. My guess is that ulead videostudio se has some issues with vista.
BTW windows update updated my drivers, for both the audio interface and the video interface. If I use the standard audio driver that came with the cd it’s ok, but if I update, Ulead VS 10 SE crashes when I try recording it. It’s because of the audio interface….
GREAT PRODUCT OVERALL!!!

Hello,

Hello I am a former ATI Wonder user, but vista has changed that… I also wasted time and money on the evil Dazzle program. I am hoping that this will be a great replacement.

All I wanna do is capture family videos and put them on my computer to edit in adobe premiere,

my question is can I directly capture into premiere or how is the video captured and saved

thanks

cant get this to install on vista x64.
drivers not recognised.
anyone know the official website???

to everybody!!! there is no website for this! find the driver online by google-ing for it, or get a licensed windows and get the driver through windows update. Worked for me!!! or, find the cd that came with it, install the drivers and then update the drivers with Windows Update!! legit license required!

After installing an EzCAP D60+ on my Dell Vistro (with Vista) the Device Manager showed (1) USB2861 device and (2) USB EMP Audio device but it did show “EasyCap Video Adaptor”.
It came with a CD for EzCAP003/006/108 but there was no mention of D60+. When I tried to transfer a VHS video to my laptop, all went well but for there being no audio.
Any suggestions on how to overcome this problem?.

OOPS !!! Further to my request about no audio with my EasyCap D60+, I should have written “but it did NOT show “EasyCap video adaptor” after (2). Sorry !!

I have just been given an EasyCAP d 60+ unfortunately the person who gave it to me has not got the registration details – does anyone know how I can get round this

tks

HELP!!
I loaded it on vista. Software (Ulead 10se with drivers) loaded fine. Video Studio comes up. Connect it to my Sony TR91 NASC Hi8 via Audio/Video RCA’s.
No picture when camcorder is on and on playback, cannot record anything.
What am I doing wrong?
I selected various options (DV,VCD,MPEG) nothing works.
Ulead will not support the product, since VideoStudio 10 is outdated.
Looking for any advice and help from those who had success with it.
Thanks in advance

All I wanna do is capture family videos and put them on my computer to edit in adobe premiere. I am not able to capture audio using Adobe Premiere.

Adobe Premiere 4: Has anyone had success using the EASYCAP USB with
Adobe Premiere? I cannot get audio captured?

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Video works fine but no audio. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions.

Hmm, this is windows were talking about …. it won’t recognize the driver for the device.

Spent a few hours on trying to get it working. its typical microsoft ; all’s I’m saying is don’t expect plug and play

The installation requires Windows XP Service Pack 2. Ihave Service Pack 3 on my PC and can’t install drivers. Any solution?

Keith;
I have service pack 3 as well and it causes trouble with many programs.
I only got results when using windows movie maker and using a vhs player with all AV cables plugged in.

If windows tries to update the driver for the device LET IT, it seemed to get it working.

Go with windows movie maker, I think the Ulead SE program is a bit of a dud! Play around for a bit, eventually you get the hang of it and get something happening!

I have XP and service pack 3 and EasyCap requires service pack 2 ????

What to do????????? Help please !!!

Thanks Simon.
Video picture super but audio atrocious! I must be doing something wrong but what? All connections as per instructions using Windows Moviemaker but can do nothing about sound quality.
Aapee, just connect up and plug in to USB port and follow”new hardware” routine as instructed. All works but I’m having trouble with sound

HELP!!!! Have installed tis item and am not great with computers but can’t figure out how to make it record sound. Please help have spent hours!

I just bought that device, but my driver CD appeared to be damaged. Can anybody upload just the driver (not the software tools) to sendspace.com? Thanks in advance

it may seem good but only if you can get it to work
Mine has no sound and i dont have a clue how to fixit i have tried it on my normal pc and my laptop and both work ok with video but no soaund on capture or playback
help

Hi,
agian i think this qu has been asked before, but my pc doesnt pick up a signal when i plug the scart box into the back of my video player.
how do i fix this thankyou

EzyCap captures video, I downloaded and installed updated driver D60+. The capture is now working but Ulead 10 is not, it captures files then doesn’t recognise them and it’s unusable, I’ve wasted hours trying to get it to work. U-tube videos look good for those who can get it to work. Is there a patch for using winxp home sp3.

Hi There
I´ve an EasyCap USB 2.0 Video Controller Adapter but i lost the CD install. Could you send me the driver install ?

Best Regards;

well i am glad you found it easy to use.
i dont because i have tried everything to get sound out of mine and i can’t
Nothing i do will give me sound i have a perfect recorded vidoe but no sound at all
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EASY Cap doesn’t work! Two different PC’s, two different video sources and stil cannot get any video captured.

I have transfered an old camcorder tape home movie to my pc using easycap but the movie playsback on my pc with jerks that is the frame rate has changed. How do I correct it?

I have just installed the EasyCap on my laptop. No problem. So I connected it to my VCR as I want to burn vhs tapes on my computer. I get that I need to use Ulead for that purpose so I opened that program however I cannot see how to use Ulead for burning my VHS tapes on a DVD.
Can anyone explain the procedure to me?
Thanks

The installation requires Windows XP Service Pack 2. Ihave Service Pack 3 on my PC and can’t install drivers. Any solution? Thanks.

Have seen similar comments and not yet found one that answers the problem. Anyone been successful

I found out that you do not need Ulead (which takes a lot of MB).
Instead you can use InterVideo WinDVD Creator 2 which allows you to burn a DVD directly so you do not take up space on your computer. It is very easy to do it this way.

I bought the video easycap video adapter device but do not have the driver. Can anyone share?

Hi, I lost my easycap driver cd. Does anyone knows where I can download it? Thanks alot

Hi,
Does anyone know where I can download the driver for easycap, because I lost my driver cd? Thanks alot

I bought this Capture device and i got it today. but i’m having some truoble since there was no Istallation guid nor a serial for the Ulead program. so anybody know what i can do??

I bought one. Kinda have a problem with the audio though. There is a buzzing and scratching sound.

I have exactly same problem when I plug it into my HP Pavilion DV7-1230EZ notebook.

Will this device work with CCTV systems? Will it allow me to plug my CCTV cameras into to and then into my laptop?

I have everything installed on THinkpad T40

Video working great, can’t get any audio
I have soundmax audio on the laptop

wmdaud.drv is installed

Hi Catherine,
I have just installed Easycap for the same reason as you – I want to put VHS tapes onto DVD format. I have installed the hardware and software ok, but despite trying everything cannot get it to capture the VHS video signal. I am using scart from the VHS machine to the USB lead (white to white, red to red & yellow to yellow) connectors. It’s driving me crazy! Any ideas? (Any advice anyone please email me).

Thanks

James

Running quite successfully with XP sp3 on an IBM THinkpad T40

Using S-Video.

Found you cannot bring in sound using the Syntek Driver, you must use the USB driver

Going to add a USB extension cable to take some strain off of the USB port.

I just bought one and after installing the software, I couldn’t get the PC to recognize the hardware and asked me to reinstall the driver. HELP??

I cant record TV. i just get a green/black screen

I’m so glad that I found your posting!!! I have been hating the Ulead program because everytime I edit a clip and then try to burn it to a disc it is a black screen or I have no memory left. I need a program that is easy to use and I love that the one you suggested allows a direct burn. I did want to ask if there are any specific settings that need to be adjusted on my computer or the file formats…I am going to download th InterVideo and see how I like it…thanks!

To all those with assorted Easycapture problems:
Didn’t seem to work with Vista 64bit, so I got the more expensive Pinnicle Studio Box Plus and even my computer genius’ had to search for a particular driver which was not on the supplied cd. Works great now.

After a while of playing with this device I finally got it working (I needed a scart out adapter).

So now my video and audio captures fine. Quality and syncronisation is a bit dodgy in places, but it all depends what compression you use and how good the original video tape is.

The only problem I have is I HATE the ULead software. I want to capture using Adobe Premier CS3 (which I used to do in a previous job with a different capture device, but I didn’t set it up). Premier doesn’t have any option to capture from this device. Anyone know of any drivers to do this? Cheers

Recently have had problems with jerky video. Tried various settings. Only have 1.3 mhz cpu – runs at 100%. Is that my problem?

Hello,

Did anyone help you yet? I lost the serial number for the Ulead program. If you have any help, please let me know. Thank a lot!

Peter.

u bought this but i can;t capture my xp computer turns off, also i don’t have service pack 3 or 2.0 usb port onlu 1.0 usb. and if i do get signal is a green screen of video really bad please help me.

I am trying to view a security camera with this device but not sure which format or how to capture live video with this. I have a BNc to RCA adapter / connector from the camera to the Video in. Still have no signal. What am I doing wrong?

If you have figured it out, please let me know as well. I am trying to look at a CCTV camera for alignment and cannot see camera on laptop. Thanks in advance.

oh man, can someone please help me with this thing?? I cannot get it to capture (or even show anything) I am trying to record vcr tapes of family events. I have the vcr hooked to the tv and the red/white/yellow cords plugged into the tv. The s video is also plugged into the tv. When I turn on wireless watcher, I get no picture whatsoever, whether the video is playing or not. (yes, the usb is plugged into my computer and the green light is on)
Can someone please help?????

Hi

Sean

friends just use this software..its the best one out there..called captureflux….it will sovle all ur problems regarding video and sound recording…i m using this software quite simply…very handy…just install the easycap drivers from cd…try to record in wmv file..it will also save ur disk space…

are you sure your TV has VIDEO OUT ??

They have a white version which is for MAC

I have this device and with searching on web found out how to capture the sound. I like it very much but my problem is that with video tapes sometimes the capture is very jumpy. once a window came up to change the bit but I know nothing about how to do that. Please let me know as I am trying to copy videos of trips that I have been on. thanks

when you get the window that says capture, go to the options and where it says sound hit the one for the other rather than where it is. You have to remember to do it each time.

you have to take them to windows movie maker or something like that. Then after they are ready, go to where it says publish and that will take a while but they come as videos.

go to movie maker and publish the files. then they become videos

i have a problem and am not sure if i am doing something wrong when i connect it to my video nothing happens. i’ve installed everything onto my computer, what else can i do?

Not good for hi quality capture to make a DVD, just cant cut the hi data rates even in preview before trying to record to disk. Ok if you want crappy Youtube size. They say capture you old VHS videos to DVD. Good luck trying! unless you like looking at your old VHS’s on your PC in a tiny window. Still at the price what can you expect? Best pay more and get something that can really cut it. The supplied Ulead editing SW is crap! Nero is better for editing and even that’s not real good

I just purchased the EasyCap USB 2.0 video capture. Installed it, but now I don’t know how to download my videon to my PC. I thought I must be able to see it under “My computer” – being a USB, but can’t. When I try to open, when I go to edit and “open video file” a file comes up with “10.0″ and nothing else. The instructions are not clear about this and not much support are offered.

How do I go about downloading it from my camera (its connected into AV out and into the USB)

tx

@Sergiu pretty helpfull stuff but pfft it would work even if the OS is pirated software stupid **** your just jealous that you paid money for something that many people got for free

When you click the options button, click the the last tab, and there should be a bunch of lists. One of them should say something like video re-compresion options. It will probably say by default no recompresion. Experiment with the options you have. I have pinacle studio 11 on my laptop, so I have an option MPEG 3 pinnacle recompression or something like that. Anyway, experiment around. Try recording 10 second clips with a different method of recompression each time and see which video is best.

I am Brazilian, but I bought 10 pieces capture card EasyCap

4 customers can not setup for color, PAL M tried, but failed, or NSTC
card is black and white

You have manual Portuguese?

I am trying to use U-Lead software for the Easy6 grabber to take VHS to DVD. I can connect, and play the video, but am not sure how to actually capture the VHS file. Everything I have tried doesn’t work. I am using XP Home with SP2. I can’t seem to save anything. The rest of the software is ok.
Can someone please help me?

I also agree with Engela Oct.4th. Similar thing happens, and I can’t find any support other than this site.

I recently purchased this, but the installation CD was garbage.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the drivers?

I have exactly the same problem. When I select PAL M and click ok, if I go back in, its defaulted back to NTSC.

I got one of these easycap as video tuner, after installing the driver and software and follow all instruction I did not get any signal to my PC, manual is missing details on connection and is not helpful,I do not know if any one has got this tuner actually working.

Hi …
I have this CD easy cup , I want to install it to my PC computr but I cannot needs serial number of product , may I get it ? SERIAL NUMBER

please give me serial number of this CD

i need only to convert audio analog signal to mp3. to bye easycap or not? regards

I have installed to drivers but my computer will not recognize my video camera i have connected to it. I have windows service pack 3, is that why or is it some other problem?

Here’s a little tip if you’re game :

Try getting a female RCA audio cable (red and white) to a 3.5mm headphone jack .

From there, use this from whatever you’re recording (the PS2/VHS), put video into easyCAP, but audio into female RCA audio cable, then put 3.5mm headphone end into your computers Mic in . Then change settings to accomodate, and voila’ . Good sound quality.

I have Xp3 but easyCap asks me to load to XP 2 when I try and download drivers. How do I overcome this?

I installed all the drivers and software, but I’m not seeing any picture on the little screen after I hit the “capture” option. My system is Vista and I’m trying to copy VHS tapes to my computer and then create DVDs. I have the S-video and the red/white/yellow plugs connected between the EasyCap and the VCR. Any help would be great.

i just installed this product on to my computer which has vista installed on it. don know if its 32 bit or 64bits. but when i connect my cannon analogue camcorder and try to see the video on my laptop it doesnt find any thing from my camcorder. i use composite A/V cables. what can be thing i need to do to make it right, plus should i try s-video cable or do i need to install some driver or something.. plz help anybody thanks

actuelly, it works well with Mac, and no need for a different gadget just software.

I just purchased my EasyCap and I’ve been trying to days to install the driver software and it says it can’t locate it.
I plug in the EasyCap and then it does its thing then it says “Found New Hardware” “Insert the disk that came with your device” and then it says “Windows can not find driver software for your device”

What do I do? Do I need another disk? I have exactly what you showed up above.

i bought a windows 7 laptop and one of these easy cap adaptors. i bought on ebay, new, and the driver disk was not sold with it. i downloaded the driver as instructed but it will not install. i can't get it to work. can anyone suggest where to obtain a driver from?

I have bought an EasyCap Capture No DC60. On clicking to instal driver a Microsoft message comes up telling me to stop instalation as new soft ware is not recognised and may cause daamage to my computer. I would be grateful for some reassurance that it is safe to proceed.

ok, a few questions. 1. Would you recomend this product over a dazzel? many reviews for the dazzel say it isnt that good at all, but all reviews for this are amazing. So i was just wondering if you have used the dazel and if so which would be better…? 2. Would this product work for using my ps3 from my tv to my laptop? anything would be great thanks. Great Review page by the way.

cannot install proply comes u[ witj not enough colors to play vidio when i open program this is the second one ive had the did install but was bad pic after uninstalling and reinstalling i lost serial no hence a new one but cannot get it to work at all email me om graybarry@rocketmail.com please please

I used the the capture device on XP and although I did not hear the sound as I recorded, the sound was perfect when playing back. I have since upgraded to Windows 7 and now I cannot install the drivers. What should I do as I have not found any solution on the net as yet.

I cannot get my ulead easycap to work. When i connect it to the pc it says weak signal.
Any suggestions?

I have one and I cant figure out how to get it to capture my VHS videos, I dont think it can.

while i know this is over 131 weeks old, i am replying in case others after me have the same kind of question. I am currently running PS2 through the card, while you cannot listen to the audio with the capture program as a preview, it WILL record the audio. i havent checked online for a program that will allow "MIC" inputs to be played live through speakers. im sure it exists. but anyway, back to the card. with the default program that comes with it the video has no lag with the preview. with the view fullscreen there is a very small slight blurriness (due to resolution) but otherwise is NOT too noticeable from 3 feet away. while there is blurriness it doesnt dampen the experience. it works pretty flawlessly if you set it up right.

doas this device work on the xbox360 console and what type of software do i need on my computer?

I have an easycap Video capture adapter , and I lost its draver’s CD , please help me to find the driver .

thanx

One major flaw I found with te EasyCAP is that it heats up fairly quickly, and as it heats, the videos you capture suffer a bit. EasyCAP does work for gaming, as I use it for my 360. If you lost the software, I simply recommend buying the Ulead Videostudio or downloading it for free from various sites. If it doesnt work right, simply try a reinstallation. Now, as for file size, AVI is the biggest, but best quality. To make the file smaller, simply change it to MPEG and adjust the variable bitrate

sorry i disagree this is crap.. i bought one, to transfer film from my ANALOGUE video camera with the Composite outputs, the camera shows on the TV, but will not show or transfer to the computer, all i get is an error message, saying no signal.. what a waste of money.

have tried to download a wedding video made in st lucia but it olays back in black and white any solutions

This thing is a piece of shit. Sure the video is fine but there is no audio. It is the most faulty device i have ever handled, in fact I know of only three people that have one without problems and one of them is the guy writing this review. This piece of crap was probably put together by 10 year old Somali children that thumbed through an electronics handbook. Don't waste money on it like I did.

My serial number was printed on the CD but you have to look close

Does EasyCAP USB 2.0 Audio & Video Capture Adapter work on the other direction, i.e. capturing the video played in the DVD/CD Rom of the computer to display on a TV set for instance?

Easycap was easy to set up but for some reason my video transfers in black and white not colour. Has anyone got any ideas why?

El producto, en principio, parece muy bueno pero, no soy capaz de que se oiga el audio. La imagen perfecta pero no se oye. ¿Habría alguana solución?.
Un saludo.
Mauricio

I believe it will work on ALL gaming systems and tv sets. It'll just possibly be a lower quality than the high end stuff we have today. But it should work!

Where do you get the “no bad points” idea from? The EasyCap comes with only female plugs on it – and no diagram of how it is to be used. My video player/recorder has only female ports on it – my digital TV has only female ports on it. How on earth do you connect this crazy thing so that it can capture from a VHS tape? Or the TV? or AYTHING, for that matter??????

regards

Dr Brian

spending more than two weeks, i now believe that someone is able to capture video but audio comes with a terrible "noise". it seems that there is a conflict with realtek sound drivers (windows 7 64bit). the only workaround found so far is to connect video to easycap (dc60+) and plug in audio channel to pc mic port. However even in this way, you have to make some adjustments with mic levels in order to avoid distored sound.

Windows 7 professional 64 bit installed with 4 gb memory
This utility installed right out of the box, and I was editing old videos from handicam tapes, vhs tapes and avi files on the hard drive in the first hour
Played around with it for 2 days now and have no problems at all
The article/review above by the "tester" who attached photos, was so full of grammar errors, I could hardly believe it. Worst of all, he states it can be purchased for $36…?
I got it for $9, everything included.

where did you find this device ?

what software – i've got the black one + a mac

You get a AV cable with male plugs on both ends.

pls tell me that from where i get the easy cap by cash in maharashtra, pls sugest me(srcmlp.99@gmail.com). thank you.

I have the same problems and have tried to resolve them several times. I think the person who wrote the intro into this page must have something to do with easyCAP as I think the opposite to the intro-its a useless piece of equipment with very very poor information

MA SI POTREBBE COLLEGARE LA PLAY STATION 2 TRAMITE QUESTI CAVETTI?

i want mac os supported for easy capture…….and ulead video studio for mac os…

well

all these bad comments about this product convinced me

I am not buying this and I am not trusting reviews on this site

I have found that there was some noticeable lack of synchronisation of sound and pictures when some VHS video’s were downloaded then cut to DVD.
Also, I’m now on Windows 7 and wondered where new drivers are available
Kind Regards Ken

Hi just got the easycap, i bought it so i could watch movies from my laptop on to the tv, but i don’t seem to get it right…. i’ve already plugged all the rca’s cables and all that, also i set the tv to right mode and nothing, can somebody help…please

hi sir, me from Pakistan did u send it to me in Pakistan only one peace i required sir if u please email me or anns me in this web

I don’t know how to use the Easycap Capture. Is it possible to connect it to your television? That’s why I bought in the first place! Same problem as Natali! Help!

Actually, they are female plugs on both ends…well, the crap that I bought anyways. The male plugs would have the male, uhem..parts (i.e, pee-pee’s or wee-wee’s) and the female plugs have what those pee-pee’s and wee-wee’s go INTO. I have it all connected but I cannot seem to get the source (VHS player) to play on my computer so that I can, at some point, record it to my hard drive and then do whatever I wish.

This is piece of crap. The drivers install but don’t allow you to use it with other capture programs ( ie. premiere). Also the Ulead video studio 8 software that comes with it absolutely will not install on my pc, I get a cyclic redundancy error every time I try to install it (my dvd player is fine) so I’m guessing the dvd itself is junk. Sooooo…. if I can’t use it with another program and the provided one won’t install, how the hell am I supposed to use it? Worst purchase ever. FAIL!
