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..
Thank you so much for making this video! It was very helpful. Sharing your confirmation video, along with your sense of humor, and devotion to your parents was a cool bonus to the tutorial. Thanks again!
Instead of relying on a cloud I am converting my digital files onto analog. All it takes is a power outage or a glitch and all our precious memories are lost or kept from our grasp
You have excellent English, there are movies that seem to have never made it to DVD, I have a couple, and your video was a relaxed way to understand the conversion process.
Thanks for the video, it's nice to see that little thing so cheap and performing well. I like to give you a little bit of advice before you start recording, shake the VHS tape a little bit and put it into the player push the FF button until the end and later the REW button to lose the tape.
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. I originally thought it was because the tapes were 20-30 years old but have managed to play them on my TV with no problems at all. Think I'm gonna have to purchase a different adapter.
@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.
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.
Coming from Danish descent I enjoyed your video and your accent. Thank you for showing me how this contraption works. I've been wondering if it is worth buying and you have confirmed that it is a worthy choice. Keep up the good work and be blessed.
I'm always impressed about the usefulness of cheap things ordered from china. 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!
@@MyPlayHouse audio was slow motion and pitched down. I think it was because of the computer I was using. Trying it again on my newer gaming laptop, and that should fix my issue.
Thanks for this video! its nice to just know that something is worth the few dollars i plan to spend on it before i order it. i plan to use it for like security webcams and such.
@@MyPlayHouse Been There Done That. The more expensive box I bought was worse than the cheap one! Sometimes you can get better results using video grabber freeware.
damn VHS. that takes me back to the 90s and my childhood, i remember having home alone 1 on VHS and i watched it that much i wore the tape out lol. I have done a lot of VHS to DVD in my time back when Windows XP was a thing.
Thank you I just connected the part and saw your video about it really sweet the video of your confirmation very nicely explained with humor LOL I save my old videotapes with the Santa Barbara series greetings from Germany
*Just used it. Not worth the bother. The interface definitely could have been easier, and it was unable to just record audio (or, even audio with bland video). No, thanks.*
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.
@@MyPlayHouse I baught this device and I use it to captutre my old console and 89 bits computers on My PC. It is a nice device and your video is well made and instructive. I found it usefull and the drivers you link where just a very good idea. Especially for the software. I use win 10 on my PC and device works out of the box, just be awaire that application like skype tend to ise it as a Mic without telling you as soon as you set it up.

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.
I'm having the same problem with my easy cat. The quality is not very good when transferred to my computer. It plays fine on a television but the video capture device adds lines and green flickering images.
I bought this for a little while but now when I record, it gives me this black and white picture with color bar flickering. I was told to fix that, I have to convert it from PAL-NTSC but I don't know how to do that any ideas?
Running against time is a made for tv movie. This is why you cannot find it anywhere. Catherine Hicks, always nice! Loved her in Star Trek 4: The voyage home, and 7th Heaven tv show. Maybe borrow a SVHS machine from someone, it might make the signal a bit better?
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.
I'm in a middle of trying to save one of my friend's tape, it has that green and purple colour flickering (like you're seeing it at 14:28). It's annoying but have to accept it as it is an old tape.
@@khuramkhan Hi, I experienced the same issue with EasyCap. For this reason I purchased "Ezcap" video capture device (similar to EasyCap). With Ezcap I don't experience the flickering problem and in general I could get a better quality. So instead of EasyCap I recommend to purchase Ezcap.
The problem wasn't the OBS software it was the lack of a driver for the Easier Cap device. No one seems to supply a driver for this device enabling it to work on Windows 10.
You might try a head cleaner in that vcr, also check the vcr output on a compatable tv to make sure its not a capture fault. I have a video of me as a baby taken from Super 8 film, 50 years later, oh hell i feel old lol.
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 sounds mad, but it did happen to mine.
One week later from watching the tutorial, after actually trying to convert the tapes (which I was able to thanks for the video), I was wondering if there were any other softwares that could convert the tapes without a watermark. You see I'm converting them for someone other than myself so I would prefer it watermark-free :)
I purchased an easy cap and some videos it plays fine like the first one you showed. And others it shows very grainy like the second video you showed. All of the videos play fine on television. 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.
Thanks...yes im sure with these cheap version capture cards video quality will be lost during conversion but as long its not too bad that will b good for me
They make SCART to S-Video cables just like the composite one he is using.... Its why I suggested it because S-Video is far better quality than composite especially if he is archiving.
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: ruclips.net/video/YafV2zlGA38/видео.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 (ruclips.net/video/YafV2zlGA38/видео.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. I am sorry for my english, but I am not native english speaker.
I got the same device from Amazon. Mine didn’t come with an extender cord. In fact, since it’s so big, it blocks use of the usb port next to it. And when I tried plugging it in through a hub, my laptop doesn’t see it. Also, I don’t know why, but the capture software (honestech vhs to dvd) records properly but I can’t see the video in the program while it’s running. I can hear it but it does capture the recording. Strange!
This device is supposed to be compatible with both NTSC and PAL. The issue I'm having with this device is stereo audio being mixed down to mono and a DC offset is put on the audio. This is not a good thing. As far as video, it works pretty good. I did not use the provided software. I used the built in Camera App on Windows 10, and I understand it will work with OBS software.
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.
Hi OIdiesCentral Thank You very much! I have had that happen to kitchen appliances,, it's a nice surfaces finish when they are brand new.. but melts over time. Thank you for watching! :-)
Love your video so very helpful. Just a quick question once you burn movies onto dvd can you use the device again? I have tried but not getting anywhere.
hi had a pci tiger card for a very long time i put my tv box in to it not great to record video i had the card on the max it would push out now there been alot of changes in the models over the years
Hi MVVblog I am sure the software, does some stuff :-) It's fine for this home use,,, these familie party things, are so boring to watch anyway. Thank you for watching! :-)
I have 2 big problems with my old EasyCAP DC60 v2.1c (using the buggy USB AVCPT drivers compatible with Win7 x64) 1) Instant BSoD when pluggging it in to my new PC (unhandled exception if the drivers are installed. X370 / Ryzen platform) 2) Sync issues in VirtualDub / Mod (and the 64-bit version only captures at
I got one of these. Windows 10 x64 doesn't recognize the driver provided. Tried both with Home and Pro edition (two computers), same problem : no image. When I click options, the fields are blank, it doesn't detect the device. Perhaps the electrics in the converter are bad - not surprising from chinese products. I then went to read the negative reviews on Aliexpress and all say the same. I don't know if others were lucky, but to me and others it just doesn't work.
I bought the same thing but it doesn't work. The cable that attaches to the video player is colour coded red, white and black instead of yellow. Not sure that made any difference but no video footage played and when I clicked on the programme options the video device and audio device boxes are completely blank. I managed to find a similar cable with the red, white and yellow prongs but using this still made no difference.
@@MyPlayHouse the more annoying is that I bought the one I have over a year ago and had completely forgotten about it. When I checked my eBay account it turns out I'd paid £36 for it! So I was seriously ripped off 🙄
thanks for the video,but you didn't mention that the low quality video was refer to the capture card or the same quality is same as connecting VHS to TV, hope you will guide me because i'm gonna buy the same card
I just got this and set it up. However, I hear the video but the screen is blank. I’ve tried changing the cable connections and still no visual. Any ideas?
When I watching video is good but when I saveing it the resolotion is bad. All editing I did it. I do not know what should I do. Please interduce me several good apps for capturing. Thank you
I have this exact thing, under a different name. Very useful, spent around 30h copying old VHS tapes, definitly worth every cent
Hi EndstyleGG
Thank You very much! I agree!!

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..
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'm in a middle of trying to save one of my friend's tape, it has that green and purple colour flickering (like you're seeing it at 14:28). It's annoying but have to accept it as it is an old tape.
Se my new video on this,, I got another grabber and that one have way better picture,, (but bad sound) so it is fixable..
@@MyPlayHouse Is there any software setting solution to this flickering problem? Or is it the hardware issue?
@@khuramkhan Hi, I experienced the same issue with EasyCap. For this reason I purchased "Ezcap" video capture device (similar to EasyCap). With Ezcap I don't experience the flickering problem and in general I could get a better quality.
So instead of EasyCap I recommend to purchase Ezcap.
The problem wasn't the OBS software it was the lack of a driver for the Easier Cap device. No one seems to supply a driver for this device enabling it to work on Windows 10.

Look how cool, I bought this same device just to save the video of MY confirmation too lol
Time has not been kind :-)
You might try a head cleaner in that vcr, also check the vcr output on a compatable tv to make sure its not a capture fault.
I have a video of me as a baby taken from Super 8 film, 50 years later, oh hell i feel old lol.
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 sounds mad, but it did happen to mine.

One week later from watching the tutorial, after actually trying to convert the tapes (which I was able to thanks for the video), I was wondering if there were any other softwares that could convert the tapes without a watermark. You see I'm converting them for someone other than myself so I would prefer it watermark-free :)
I did put all the software in the description,, I did not see a watermark.
Obs
I purchased an easy cap and some videos it plays fine like the first one you showed. And others it shows very grainy like the second video you showed. All of the videos play fine on television. 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.
They are not all that good,,, :-/
I stay away from VCRs from the 90s or 2000s.. 80s VCRs tend to track tapes much better... They started getting really cheap in the 90s
I have stayed away from VCR since the 90s :-)

You need an S-Video cable.... better quality
Hi Brian Froeber
Thank You very much!
Thank you for watching! :-)
They make SCART to S-Video cables just like the composite one he is using.... Its why I suggested it because S-Video is far better quality than composite especially if he is archiving.
HUH??? The SCART has the signal he just needs the cable!! images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/SWV2543W_10-IMS-en_GB?$jpglarge$&wid=1250
On the paper the scart have the S-Video out ( S = separated ) but if you try to use s-video form a normal VHS, you will probably get any signal
The signal encoded to tape is actually composite signal, no point messing around with svideo nonsense when you won't even see a difference

Has anyone found the drivers for this?
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: ruclips.net/video/YafV2zlGA38/видео.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 (ruclips.net/video/YafV2zlGA38/видео.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.
I am sorry for my english, but I am not native english speaker.

The resolution on video recorded analog on VCR’s is very low from today’s point of view.

Thanks for sharing just found one of these was wondering how it worked.
Glad to hear it worked out for you :-)
Easycap did work on Win Vista, Win 7 but not on Win 10. This is my experience.
I did a later video using Win10
I'm using it for my Drone Project.
Best of luck..
I got the same device from Amazon. Mine didn’t come with an extender cord. In fact, since it’s so big, it blocks use of the usb port next to it. And when I tried plugging it in through a hub, my laptop doesn’t see it.
Also, I don’t know why, but the capture software (honestech vhs to dvd) records properly but I can’t see the video in the program while it’s running. I can hear it but it does capture the recording. Strange!
:-) so you are not happy with i :-/
This device is supposed to be compatible with both NTSC and PAL. The issue I'm having with this device is stereo audio being mixed down to mono and a DC offset is put on the audio. This is not a good thing. As far as video, it works pretty good. I did not use the provided software. I used the built in Camera App on Windows 10, and I understand it will work with OBS software.
I bought two of these, one has good video, other has good audio :-/
Yea I have something like this for my VHS tapes of my sons ultra sounds baby video back in the day. Mine is also a USB base setup like yours.

how did you disabled sync adjustments? On what software?Thanks!
I got one of these. Windows 10 x64 doesn't recognize the driver provided. Tried both with Home and Pro edition (two computers), same problem : no image. When I click options, the fields are blank, it doesn't detect the device. Perhaps the electrics in the converter are bad - not surprising from chinese products. I then went to read the negative reviews on Aliexpress and all say the same. I don't know if others were lucky, but to me and others it just doesn't work.
I did a later video using windows10 : ruclips.net/video/VSx7MxZIqpk/видео.html

I bought the same thing but it doesn't work. The cable that attaches to the video player is colour coded red, white and black instead of yellow. Not sure that made any difference but no video footage played and when I clicked on the programme options the video device and audio device boxes are completely blank. I managed to find a similar cable with the red, white and yellow prongs but using this still made no difference.
They can be hard to get going, and it would surprises me if some of them are not also broken :-/
@@MyPlayHouse the more annoying is that I bought the one I have over a year ago and had completely forgotten about it. When I checked my eBay account it turns out I'd paid £36 for it! So I was seriously ripped off 🙄
