    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.

      Sorry for the late reply, but do you remember seeing any difference in quality? In my case, the vhs output from the Easycap glitches with green tears and colour loss (intermittently). The exact same when viewed from the tv is smooth and yields perfect colour. Of course I'm trying with windows 10 now, but will change OS and see if that makes a difference..

    • @lobsturf7797
      @lobsturf7797 Před 3 lety +1

      And yes, it does show smooth output usually, the tears and colour loss appear at will of the Easycap. Again, no such issues with direct playback.

    I just got free unopened brand new Samsung VCR from 2000. I had a blast playing old tapes but the machine started to behave erratically when it got hot. I just ordered this thingy and won't be using VCR until I backup my tapes. This video was really helpful in my decision to buy it as I don't need fancy 150$+ upscalers and capture devices.

    Unless I'm mistaken, it should be possible to capture TV-Signals from a reciever with a Scart / Component connection, even if it gets blocked on digital connections... and most TV-Stations only send in 480p /576p anyway.

    I always had trouble with my easy cap, mainly because of software support. I recently purchased one of the ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 (Second Generation) and so far I like it. It does all of the conversion within the device itself and the only thing I have to do is unplug the USB from the device after I stop recording from the VHS tape and then copy to my computer.

    I remember seeing a couple of documentaries on the VHS era, and they were both very interesting. It was the first time ever we were introduced to "time shifting" television. Prior to VHS machines, you had to be home to watch your favorite show. I never really thought about that. Also something like 70% (if my memory serves me correctly) of VHS movies were never released on DVD according to one of the films. Of course a whole bunch of it was junk. There was even a company that paid their employees a bonus to come up with titles for the cover box art before the movie had even been made! They then used the title to write a script, and of course the movies were just awful, but the company made a ton of cash. Why? Because we were all a bunch of knuckleheads who would rent these terrible movies based on the box art. Those were the days!
    If you plan on doing quite a bit of these video transfers you may want to invest in the Hauppauge HD PVR system, but this device seems to work very well. I am sure you can get the Hauppauge in PAL format. I have bought a couple of used machines on Ebay, and the quality of the video is just excellent. It also removes any copy guard so there is no flicker or brightening or darkening of the screen. Cool video...gotta go, going to record my VHS of MAD MAX with Mel Gibson, cool movie!

    Thanks for sharing. I have a UCEC adapter & I have also been having problems with image quality/green/magenta lines appearing. Strangely it doesn't happen with every tape.

      @benrec6 did you find a solution? I have the same problem, all tapes play fine via the TV, but when I use the same VCR and cables with the USB device some of the footage is bad quality, lots of lines appear. My VCR has an indicator for when the footage is in stereo and I have noticed that mono footage works fine, but stereo footage has the issue - this can even happen with the exact same tape, so it must be to do with how certain footage was recorded onto it.

    Good video. But you should use the S/video. The composite has 2 signals in it that the S/video separate. If you look at the 2 signals with a oscilloscope one will over lap with the other signal some. So it's good to separate them with S/video. I don't know but maybe your scart cable can do S/video out just need the cable or I guess make it your self.

    I used this cheap USB device and yes it does work quite well, however I achieved much better results copying old VHS tapes using an old but good quality DVD recorder. It takes more effort putting the video on to DVD's and then saving the DVD's onto a computer but the results are much much better. Buying a high quality 2nd hand VHS player is also recommended and you can find these things quite cheap or even for free as people throw them away.

    Hi there, I had a similar problem with playback of a VHS cassette that was recorded in a home camera. The trouble is not with the age of the tape, try playing the same signal into a TV set with AV inputs, you will see that there is a vast improvement.
    The trouble was traced back to the video grabbing device, I further tried to see if I could resolve the problem by changing the Input video standard (there is a utility for this in the software provided on the mini CD) Couldent resolve the problem though, I am hoping to get a good DVR to capture the image off the VCR and then play it back into my PC.

      Baggacfreaks, Good idea :-D, and keep the tape in a warm room to drive out any slight damp for a few days.
      I've seen vcr's that have been fed slightly damp tapes :-(.
      I also use to use chromadioxide basf tapes, they grew tiny dots all over the tape surface, but they vanished after a week in a warm room.

It only looks grainy on my computer. That leads me to believe the easy cap is the issue. It's not the tapes. I might just have to pay more for a better device to get a better digital quality copy.

    • @petrstasek8386
      @petrstasek8386 Před 5 lety +7

      I was searching for drivers for windows 10, but I have found another solution. When you get easycap capture usb , you should have instalation cd with it. You put cd in CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) and copy the files on CD to your HDD.
      Before next step I recomend to turn of your internet connection, so you will not download any rootkit, because to instal drivers you need to turn off drivers signing enforcement.
      Next step: press SHIFT and click on RESTART (AT THE SAME TIME, its very important). It´s for disable driver signing enforcement which if is on, will not allow you to instal old drivers. How to do it, is in this video: czcams.com/video/YafV2zlGA38/video.html
      After you follow these steps in the video, you need to turn on compatibility on setup of your drivers (files in the folder you copy from CD) (right click- properities- compatibility and choose windows 7, vista or xp. I tried it witch compatibility with windows 7).
      After that you click on setup and instal drivers .
      If you do that and still it not allow you to instal drives, you need to open device manager and then put usb easycap into your pc and connect it with VCR. When you connect it you should seen new device in device manager. Clik on it and choose upgate drivers and choose find drivers in this pc. Then you have to choose it from the folder you copy from your cd. Find folder callled DRIVERS and choose 64 bit version, then click instal.
      I had on CD program ULEAD VIDEO STUDIO, but sound was not working, so I download DEBUT VIDEO CAPTURE SOFTWARE and instal it. You need to choose input your easycap usb and best quality in settings and it should work.
      When you turn off or restart your pc, then driver signnig enforcement will be on again and easy cap usb wil be not working, because its driver will be blocked by driver signing eforcement. If you want to continue you just only need to disable driver signning enforcement (czcams.com/video/YafV2zlGA38/video.html) . No need for instalation of drivers again. And dont forget to turn off internet connection (just for safety)
      After you finish recording VHS to pc I recomend to restar your pc, so the driver signing enforcement will turn on again. After that you can turn on internet connection.
      I hope it help. Let me know if it work for you or not.

    Thanks for the video- I am struggling to use the EASYcap myself. Is there a way to convert it from the CD into MP4 format?

    What is the best free software to fix the audio?

      Most often it is the windows audio settings that is messing with you :-/

    I had an easy cap and by the time i took it out of t he box to use it (3-4 months) its plastic cover was disintegrating making the thing so sticky,i could hardly throw it out because it kept sticking to my hand.

    My disk looks somewhat different and doesn’t have the serial number on the disk itself. Where else would I look?

      You would look in the description of this video.
