Courtesy of usbfever.com we have the chance to give the EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter with audio a full on hands on review, so sit back and read. Is this USB accessory a good one or a bad one? This review will contain an introduction, first impressions, good points and bad points then an overall summary. Below this post I have taken quite a few photos check them out.

Introduction – First of all what is an EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter? Well to break it down in simple terms and of course not to bore the hell out of you it is a USB gadget accessory that will capture high quality video and audio and you can capture this through USB 2.0 interface, you can even capture sound without the use of a sound card. The EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter with audio has support for all formats such as record in DVD+/-R/RW, DVD-Video and DVD+/-VR which is superb and also features support for Brightness, Saturation control, Contrast and Hue. What I love about the EasyCap Capture is that it is very simple to install because the external power is not needed. It supports NTSC, PAL and Video format which is a bonus.

Just so you know this product is getting our honest opinion, so if we think it is bad or good we will tell you without a doubt.

First Impressions – To tell you the truth when I received the EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter I was a little confused of what it was, in the package seemed like nothing special really until I got it out of the package that is. Looking at it for a few moments before doing anything because I wanted to get my head around it before reading the instructions inside, it is pretty small which means you can carry it around with you anywhere you go and is superb if you are a laptop user on the move. To tell you the truth the instructions are not needed really as this is an easy gadget to use. In the box you get obviously the EasyCap USB 2.0 DV / TV / VHS Video / DVD Audio-Video Capture Adaptor plus USB Cable and Quick Installation Guide and Software CD ROM.

The Good Points – The annoying part is that there are many good points, I love products that have good and the bad sides but this one seems to be up in the good point section, I would really recommend this USB device for capturing your best programs that you can share plus it captures internet conferences (now that is a bonus), it also supports multiple languages. I tried this EasyCap Capture gizmo and loved the fact that I could share my videos on YouTube with ease, just plug in your camcorder or what ever video gadget you have into the EasyCap then plug the USB end into your PC or laptop and hey presto it is plug and play time (so simple).

The Bad Points – OK let me think, hold on I am still thinking, will you give me a break I am still think. You know what for the first time I am stumped, I love to find faults with things but I honestly say from the bottom of my heart I cannot find one.

Overall Summary – I handed this around to the team and of which they all had it for one day each, they all came back praising it (damn them) but honestly this is fantastic I really do love the EasyCap Capture USB 2.0 video adapter with audio because it small enough to carry around, easy to use and very handy to have.

Now to the really good bit of which you can buy this baby for only US$36.99

  1. 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

  3. sergiu says:

    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?.

  8. Tom says:

    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 !!

    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
