5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful product! Here's how to get it to work: December 23, 2008

By Zero Enna

First off, let me tell you - This is an amazing deal. I have 3 computers, and while this doesn't work with two of them (It gets a scratchy audio noise, I think it's a problem with NVidia chipsets), it works with the third one. The problem most people are having is that it doesn't "display video correctly". After installing it, it should be recognized as a Syntek STK1160. You'll need to change the video from PAL to NTSC (If you live in America or Japan). Go to Control Panel -> Scanners and Cameras -> and right click on "Syntek STK1160" and select "Video Decoder Property". Change it from "PAL_B" (Or whatever it is) to "NTSC_M" (for America) and "NTSC_M_J" for Japan. You'll know the right one when it says "Signal Detected: 1". Enjoy ^_^

It doesn't work right with VirtualDub, but you can use AMCap (Google it) to record your video, and VirtualDub to edit and produce it.

Enjoy your AMAZING deal :D

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheap but tricky March 27, 2009

By D. Rand

I purchased this to try to capture some old VHS tapes and then burn to DVD. The instructions are awful. Since my old VCR can only reproduce a maximum of 270 lines, I did the following: Load the Easycap driver on my XP machine. Insert the Easycap into a USB 2.0 port (without the extension). Go to System in Control Panel and Hardware and locate Imaging device and insure that it is there. Next (don't even load their old software) run Windows Movie Maker, click capture device, go to camera settings and make sure you have NTSB-m selected. Next click video settings (I used 320x240 good enough for my VHS), and continue following instructions to capture your movie.
Note: I did NOT get this to work on my Vista machine!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little device after you get it configured properly July 28, 2009

By Mallen

I bought this because I wanted a cheap way to get the movies from my DVR onto my computer. Also, I wanted to be able to lend this to my in-laws so they could transfer ALL of their VHS to DVDs. I played around with this thing for a good 3 hours and I almost returned it. I had tried the aforementioned suggestions but they weren't working for me. I finally saw a video on YouTube that showed how to configure it. I was able to get this to work on Windows Vista and Windows XP using 3 different computers (2 laptops and 1 desktop; all different video cards). Here's what I did:

1. I plugged in the device. When windows asked where the driver software could be found, I directed it to the disk.
2. After it was done installing the drivers, I installed the "Video Studio" software they have.
3. After my computer had restarted, I opened up their software (Ulead Video Studio SE DVD).
4. I clicked on the "Movie Wizard" button. (Windows Vista: If you get a message saying the color scheme has changed; ignore it)
5. I clicked "Capture"
6. From the source drop-down, I selected "Syntek STK1150"
7. Then click "Options" --> "Video and Audio Capture Property Settings"
8. Make sure "Input Source" is "Video Composite" (or "S-Video" if thats what you're using).
9. Make sure "TV System" is "NTSC" (or similar)
10. Make sure "Audio device" is "Digital Audio Interface (USB Audio)"
11. I also checked the "Preview audio USB device".
12. If it didn't appear already, you should see a live preview on the right-hand side.
13. From here, I was able to use Windows MovieMaker, AMCap, VirtualDub, Ulead, etc.

Currently, I'm using this to play game-cube games on my computer (as in right now).
