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

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)

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

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