$5-7 - EasyCAP USB2 Video Captures old VHS Tape - 932
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 02. 2020
- I still have a some older VHS tapes, with recordings that I have never been able to find anywhere else. And some old home recordings from when I was,, a very young man.
This little very affordable USB EasyCAP USB2 Video Capture card does the job, but I did run into another problem.,, witch was not amazing!!
I did a video on this "EasyCAP" USB Capture device, and I was using it with Windows 7. I have had many questions on that rather popular video,, if this would work on Windows 10 ? I never tried it on Windows 10 so I decided to try this out. Let me just admit that it works fine on Win10,,

For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly "What's UP" update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on CZcams.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
I have one of those ..it works good copying all my old vhs tapes to a harddrive ..it's slow though as the vcr needs to play thru each movie ..I had over 900 tapes ..it took over 6 months to copy them ! ..now I found like 200 more tapes and haveto copy them aswell
Hi Relaxing Nature
Thank You very much! The good thing, is that you do not need to be watching :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I purchased the same thing sometime ago to convert old camcorder tapes to digital.
It took a little time to tweak the settings to get a lossless encoding and to get the audio to sync, but in the end it worked great!
Hi psygn0sis
Thank You very much!
Thank you for watching! :-)
I just started doing this when I get a strange CD like that and making an iso of it and filing it away on my NAS for the situation that you just had. I had a skydiving video I thought I lost for like 15 years and it magically appeared so I immediately dumped it into my NAS spawning the idea.
Hi Runehorn
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Color issue at 19:16 looks like what you get when selecting a wrong video standard (such as SECAM instead of PAL, or vice versa). Maybe the dongles are not really identical, and when swapping these around you also need to install drivers from the matching CD for the dongle, while the mismatching driver doesn't set the standard correctly for the dongle it's not meant for.
Hi rm

I was the reseller of EasyCap and I can give you some info.
There are MANY easycap in the market (at least 10)..... because of cost, some of them just use cheapest software and chipset. The one you show is not the best, but lucky not the worst. I know some easycap have NO AUDIO CHIPSET in the motherboard (simply use PC's audio system to capture ). Then the audio quality is not good and video and audio generated is not match.
Better Easycap using empia 286X chipset, this one is stable and picture quality seems ok, (empia is the best, STK is next) and if you are lucky , easycap can run in a MAC PC, not just WINDOWS. (usually empia chipset easycap can run on mac machines)
Software should come with Ulead Video editing software with UNIQUE serial number, which come with the CDROM paper label, not printed on the CDROM disk.
If you want to buy better easycap, hope above information can help you. Good Luck !
Hi CasparCG System Live
Thank You very much! glad you give us this information :-)

Hello sir, can you please give me some links (ideally from aliexpress) of the best easyCap devices you are talking about? I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you in advance!!
Hello sir. Is there a chance if I can contact with you via email or anything? I have a problem capturing it. I have enough knowledge with capturing and analog systems so I am not a beginner :). My problem is when I record from analog source,video gets huge green purple blocks. I tried with various sources such as Wii,PS3 and DVD player but I have this problem only with VCR. Thank you.
@@emrekaplan5737 have you ever figure it out how to rsolve this
@@moinh532 The problem is about the cheap usb card. If it was good quality than it would digitize perfectly from any analog sources. I made changings at HUE on VirtualDub. Now these color lines are very very thin at the top of the video.
By the way, the "Component" input on a lot of modern HDTV's will accept the video from the RCA cables that you showed at the beginning of the video. Check your HDTV user manual (if you still have it) for the proper cabling.
It's a bloody big tv,, I did not want to take it down from the wall,, difficult to get back up :-/
You have to try hooking both of them up at the same time and record video from one and audio from the other :D
Yes,, that might just work.. :-)
@@MyPlayHouse Then you dance around a tree at full moon and all will be well 😋
I got one of those for free a long time ago. Thanks for the drivers!
Hi dottor
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Moonwalker is available on DVD and Blue Ray in full HD quality. There is no need to copy this from a VHS cassette.
Well for doing a video it was better than some random personal stuff.
You should try using them both. They should work simultanously plugged in. Recording sound via the USB microfone of the old one and the video signal via USB Camera of the new one. The question then, are sound and video in sync?! I doubt both would, amazing tech from China!
Hi Alex H.
Thank You very much! That is a fun suggestion!! :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I have boxes of VHS tapes and DVD's dont have the time to watch. Maybe one day. Pal was the standed in Australia back in the day of analog tv.
Yes,, the amount of stuff, we keep around for that day that may never come :-/
I've had luck with the same device, no issues running on Ubuntu 18.04 with OBS Studio. I don't think there were any drivers to install, and it is shown as a usb capture device
Hi Ryan Fitton
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Asks you to turn off anti-virus protection before installing. Seems legit...
But since the input is sent as a USB camera and microphone, does it work in other programs? Like the Windows Camera app.
Yes and a cheap thing that just came in from China,, what could ever go wrong :-O
Amusingly, CZcams played this for me at 360p so the picture quality was even crappier
Just to give you the FULL experionces :-)
I've gone through two of these devices, they work okay, but the software they send is so terrible. In the end for the price and time spent it was worth it to capture old family videos off tape so I don't have to worry about my old VCR surviving any longer
Even with all the tapes digitized,, I am not sure I am ready to get rid of the VCR..
Morten, connect the audio in on your new USB capture device to the Audio Out on your VHS, *not* to the SCART connector, looks like the capture device expect a line-out level audio.
Hi Hetz Biz
Thank you,, but as one box has good video and the other has good audio,, both is available,, just need a box that will go both good :-)

Hello - Thank you but here I can get only black and white video from a VHS tape, please could you of any help? TIA - Raph
make sure the signal out of the VHS is all good.

Hi nopochoclos

I've had bad luck with those video capture dongles. The first ones usb connected frayed, the second one randomly broke, and the third one was great but it just wouldn't work on windows 10. All of them managed to crash linux, whose video capture drivers appear to be terrible.
I've heard it's better to use a dedicated dvd recorder. Given the whole state of things, probably a good idea.
This might just be a bit to cheap... :-(
I have this exact product. I used it for capturing pcs using S video port on old GPUs. I want to use it for VHS as well but i need SCARD to composite adapter. but different brand and text but exactly same.
Hi technic masters

I'm having a problem with the audio. No mater how I change the volume on the audio capture, it sounds like it changes, but as soon as I stop moving the volume bar the sound reverts to a lo setting. I have widows 7. Any suggestions?
It might be a bad stick :-/
I check with virustotal your files are virus free. Thanks for uploading them, I could not use the USB capture cause I did not find the CD with the drivers and the files I found on internet had virus. Great video!!!
It is a copy of the CD's I got with the card.
@@MyPlayHouse there is nothing else on the CD, the Easycap driver seems not to be there.
@@MyPlayHouse does any other drive came on the CD? I did not find the driver for win10.

Hi, I just purchased that product and it just gives me a blank screen for a video input
It can be difficult to set them up,, and they are not all good :-/
I came here after watching your earlier video from 2018. I also get red blue lines on my home videos. So apparently the red blue video lines issue is not solvable unless I buy another grabber.
I got better video , but way worth audio on this one.
Lowering the microphone record volume to 50 fixed my sound issue.
I think the quality of these USB capture cards varies quite a bit :-/
I'm trying to get this to work... but I don't have the same option and the buttons... why? Just got it two days ago
There is links to the software I use in the description.
Please help. At video capture device there is only an AV to USB.2.0 option. I only receive audio but no video!
Sorry,, there is no way I can help,, if my video did not help you.
My local Canada Computers sells these for nearly $50 CAN when you can get them on Ebay for a few bucks lol
I got this from china,, aliexpress.
My Easycap says update driver but it will not find one any help would be good. Its an old windows7/vista version. i updated to the window 10 software but not working so not recognised in TVR25... Any ideas ?
Not really :-/ reinstall :-/

Only difference i have to the video is i have male to male connectors rather than the scart so i have it connected that way but cannot for the life of me figure out why im only getting a blue screen when it is connected. An ideas what my issue is? Thanks
Hi Akrite2000
Sorry,, I do not know what that can be :-/
Thank you for watching! :-)
Hi Morten, you may be able to fix the audio. In the Windows Audio Settings. By turning down the main audio input. Allot of the software, that comes with these devices. Has it's own separate audio volume control. You may get better looking video. By using the MP4 Codec. You shouldn't need PAL, if you are going to be playing the file, on a Computer or TV. But, someone else, mentioned. There is a chance. That the early 80s or 90s copyright protection, is causing those moving color lines. Depending when that VHS Tape was made. They use to sell VHS Copy Boxes, that could fix that. And Oscilloscopes could be used, to correct the Video Signal, back in the day. In the USA, it was or is legal, to make 1 "Backup Copy" of a Video Tape or DVD or Blue Ray, which you own. Is usually sate this, on the the copyright notices. But, the manufacturers. Do make it as hard to do, as they can. Not worth it to me. Unless it is a Video that I Shot my self. Then, there's no Copyright Protection Problem, when Backing it up. Also, I have never followed those "Turn of you Virus Protection" Messages in Software Installations. And I don't remember ever having a Problem installing the Software that comes with a Device. But, I have seen 5 or more files infected with Trojan Viruses. That came with an OBD2 USB Auto Scanner, from China. It was on the CD they Provided with their "Free Software"... Thanks for sharing these videos, with us... Don
Thank you,, but as one box has good video and the other has good audio,, both is available,, just need a box that will go both good :-)
@@MyPlayHouse, I think you missed my point on the audio. Did you check the Main Audio input settings, in Windows. Not, in the App, that came with the Device? This is usually the problem. When you have distorted audio. Especially with the Combo Mic/Line inputs on Laptops. You need to turn down the main audio input, allot to keep from over driving it... Don
The DVD player I have it’s DVD video Combi. With 2 scar Cables. So the cable that I’m going to buy. Like the one you are using is it gonna going to HDMI or USB ON the laptop
This is what I used : amzn.to/39Ft5fx
@@MyPlayHouse I’m going to order the cable today hopefully come after Christmas because it’s coming from China mad
Hi, thank you for posting this video. I have the EasyCap but don't have the installation disk that came with it. So I downloaded it from the link you provided. It still won't get recognized by my laptop because it is still missing the drivers. Any suggestions please?
No,, I would also have to sit and mess with it :-/
Turn the input volume down in windows mixer? This will stop the levels clipping.
Also the picture is bad with the older USB device because it can't handle macrovision (Copy Protection)
It helps to turn the volume down,, but the sound on the older one is just better,,
@My PlayHouse There are different internals ie chips on the older one. According to the Linux wiki there have been at least 4 different internals for the device. The gain of the built in sound adc is too high. The device has a video capture chip and a separate audio capture chip. You have to turn the input levels down. Within windows volume control in sound alter the usb mic volume levels of the device. Switch off mic boost if enabled. You could use slight better capture software like virtualdub 2

I have easycap with the same software but the problem is when i am capturing vhs videos it only get to the 700 mb and stops . does anybody have an answer how to record without time limit ?
Could it be setup for putting on a CD,, with a 700MB limit. ?
@@MyPlayHouse Thank you for replying . the menu does not have any options how to un limit the capturing . Do you have any suggestions how to fix this issue ?
I forgot everything about analog era video technologies :)
Color phase rotation is caused by macrovision video copy protection ?
I would like to get rid of the last VHS tapes..
thank you for sharing the software and the tech! Does the software work with a Mac?
I have not tried it on MAC,, I do not know..
Have you tried using other software for capturing like the free version of VirtualDub with the device. If it works would give you more capture settings and encoding formats and also will give more information when recording your vhs. like dropped frames etc.. which the software it gives you doesn't tell you any info on. if it dropped frames your saved files will be missing those dropped frames.
No,, so far I just used this software! 😏
I did everything correctly, but I am projecting an double image to my computer. Am I doing something incorrect?
Yes it sure sound like some is incorrect,, People has been recommending me to try the free OBS software,, maybe you will have more luck with that.
I'm using Video pad software. Now the tape plays fine on my tv but is jumpy on on laptop. How can I address this?
Sorry I do not know.
Hi can you use OBS with the Easier Cap (capture Card) Thanks
so I am told,, I have not tried it.
I have just had the Easy Cap one and It Is Rubbish. The Program that came with It was so Basic with hardly any control over the settings. Nothing like the Program that came with your Second one. The Picture was In black and white and the Audio was popping all the Time. And There was this rainbow effect right across the screen all the time. And I know that the Movie You are doing here Is Plagued with Macro-Vision and Yet the Transfer on Yours Is Perfect. I have ordered the same one as You have here, let's hope It works like Yours.
Well I was not that happy with mine,, one had okay video,, other had okay sound,, had it just been the same stick it would have been great.
I wonder how much data does it takes to copy a 60min of Video8 tape to a hard drive? We have an archive of home videos I’d like to digitize.
When you initially record the file, it will be large. A 30min video from a capture device using a VCR could be upwards of 1GB. So to answer your question, about 2GB for 60min. However the settings you choose, and if you chose to go S-Video... it could be larger. Once you have recorded the footage you want, you can re-encode that file to be much smaller while preserving the visual and audio quality. I can get that same 30min video down to 340MB once I pass it through Handbrake, and I can't notice any loss in quality when used with the right settings.
One more thought.. I am assuming the video8's you have are from the 80's or 90's. Depending on the storage of them, they may be near the end of their life. I would hop on the opportunity to digitize your archive now, rather than later. Who knows, this may be the last year that the tapes will still be good enough to run through a player. The film starts to fall apart over time. Once that happens it is very difficult if not impossible to revive the tape to get the footage from it. Best of luck.
Yes I agree,, 1-2GB/h
How can i save it after recording the video??? I cant do it can someone help please
I believe it saves it while recording,, you just need to find the folder it was saved in. :-)
I got one, but it doesn’t work with me :( I tried it with my Mac OS Catalina and Windows 10 ://

Can you use this flash drive to transfer recorded movies from a digital video recorder cable box?

It is very much hit and miss with these.
Being that it's just a usb2 camera and mic I'd say you don't need their software at all. You should be able to use OBS to capture it and record it. Remove that software and run a virus scan, I wouldn't trust it at all.

Also, go to the mic level settings and turn it down. You can see the vu meter is maxed out when recording.
could not find that bloody mixer.. but thank you..
Looks like the audio & video are having issues with EMI, so I guess you could open them up and put some shielding in them and give that a go? (separating the audio channels and video). Thanks for the video by the way, you're awesome and I love your stuff. Cheers mate.

Can this device capture audio only? I want to convert cassette tapes to MP3 with the Audacity software. Thanks 😊
I would think 🤔 it can, you might want to use a sound editing program instead.
There is a company called Acoustica which makes some really great audio software including Mixcraft, they also make a great software program called Spin it Again. It not only works for vinyl, but it also works great for cassettes. If you are only converting cassettes to either MP3 or WAV files, then you probably don't even need a pre-amp. You would just hook your cassette player into your sound card and you should be good to go. I use it mainly for my LP collection but I have used it for cassettes too. There was a band called The Rainbirds, and for the life of me I could not find the CD back in the day. So I used this program to record it to a CD, and the sound is pretty incredible, you could not tell that it was not a factory CD. It has some great filters for removing hiss, noise, rumble etc. No I do not work for them, I just like mentioning great products when I find them. Just go to Acoustica's website, and you will find it in their products menu.
My problem is that the audio is really low but when I play the VHS on my TV I have normal audio.
I am using this device: www.amazon.de/gp/product/B0772P5PNR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and I am using the new drive software from your description. Do you have any tips?

Something a little better would be good.
@@MyPlayHouse I agree, Im sure you could mess around with it to get somewhat better quality, but these things are pretty old, I just honestly had no clue people still used them lol.

Is there an ecco in here
Man that thing is a piece of crap.. So cheap u even bought another for the disc.. The audio is terrible, and the frame rate is choppy.. Constant frame dropping.. Go with cheap, you get cheap results.. Spend somewhere around $150 or $200, you'll get better results.. I have my device that upscales VHS to 1080p at 30fps and 720x1280 at 60fps.. Records directly to flash drive.. no computer needed... That only records at 30fps and no more than 720.. Any of those cheap devices that connects to USB you're going to loose frames and quality..
It is/was very cheap...
Yeah. The easy cap is super choppy but not for every video which is weird. But all the vhs tapes Play fine when connected to a TV. Only do some appear grainy on my computer when viewed through the easy cap.
