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.
So good!. I have pay for the usb and cables. So yours video is so good to see becouse I want to learn. i have hometapes in mini casette and I now understand how this works. than you for the help in the videos!!!! from Sweden!
I need help, I’m trying to convert my VHS tapes to digital on my computer, but the video from the VCR is choppy when it’s connected to my computer. It looks normal when the VCR is connected to my TV, but not on my computer.
Thanks heaps mate, i really appreciate the help. I struggled to find a working driver and something better to record it rather than the crapware included on the CD.
Be aware - the drivers may not be available on the provided disk for this device - and the manufacture does not provide drivers - and you are vulnerable to downloading malware at websites offering fake drivers.
Mine is playing up it was working with the VHS to DVD app thing that comes in the box but was flickering and going green so checked on my other VHS player and tape is fine then uninstall the stuff that came with the cd reinstalled it and now IV just got a grey box no picture at all but sound lol FML I jsut want to upload my old video camera stuff to my pc and having so much drama 😭
Would you suggest an upscaler for recording? I want mine viewable on 1080p TVs, but as is, my captures are definitely blocky regardless of quality (12GB raw file looks exactly the same as 1GB processed file)
I have tried it both ways , the recordings come out all fucked up and not useable either way but recording directly to mp4 is worse when I record direct to mp4 the video stops file like a second every second when I tried recording in remuxing from mkv , it plays too fast or I get an echo this program sucks , no wonder it's free,
For recording PS1 games(maybe even ps2) and anything older, yea I would buy it again, but for anything newer than that, no, these Easycap and Ezcap(280,281,284...) devices are not good. I am saving money right now to buy a capture card that does not need Pc to capture, like AverMedia 2 plus And for VHS tapes, I say its just fine. Again anything larger than 480p and it will look bad.
i followed the steps and the video is showing as black and white on the monitor and also recorded that way. what do I need to change in the settings? thanks
I think i have the older version of the easyCap(I'm in a Mac i5) mine produces some bars every few seconds so that makes it not good got a newer AV to hdmi and hdmi to usb boxes after much testing OBS came close with jumpy video, but what worked to me was VLC2.2 to play the tape smoothly & capture with Camtasia..only minor issue is the audio gets a bit out of sync but easily fixable by detaching the audio&fixing manually. Getting my tapes digitized sharp in 4:3
Thanks for the info I've got new easycap too. But it's not good video is jumpy and without color. But when i put my vhs into tv it's plays fine and good. But easycap is not working. I think it's chinese shit. I think I Have to get capture card for my pc. One more thing buddy. Does Camtasia works with easycap fine? What issues You've faced other then that?
I am using win 8.1 , I plugged in the EZ cap and let windows install the driver automatically it says in the safe eject icon in the systray that it is USB 007 in device manager it is not in "other devices" as in your other video it shows up under "sound, video, and game controllers" but it says USB TV tuner and not capture device so my question is his, will these drivers work or do I need the other driver that make it says capture device?
it doesn't wok at all my recording come out all fucked up they are not playing back right in VLC< eithert oo fast or they pause or they echo I used the same exact settings
Nice video When i atach vcr directly to tv then all are ok but when i atach vcr with my pc through easycap or also with internel capture card for vhs capturing,video show colored strips .. I m upset..pls advice that what i do. I use sony P03 vcr.is ths vcr signals problem or any another issue..?
just use a cable rca to s-video, and conect through "s-video" for me this solve easycap for vhs, using rca image shake and jump, but using simple cable with rca_male s-video_male work perfect, image totally clean if you dont have this cable, can build this using capacitor, search tutorial
Yeah. Get a new VCR/VHS video player, or delicately go and clean the heads of the one you're having now. DON'T clean the heads with a cotton tip (NEVER!), but put the cotton tip in alcohol, spread that out onto a coffee filter, and use said coffeefilter to clean the heads. Maybe that'll do the trick. Playing tapes nowadays is a delicate business.
@@Azam_Pakistan Definitely not, no. Use 99% pure alcohol from a bottle and not those kind of desinfecting wipes. It's got way too many loose fibers on there. Those will destroy the heads (and with that your player) for good and beyond repair.
@@Azam_Pakistan Also, little addendum: a friend of mine adviced me to tell you about the pressure-roll. The black, rubbery roll that gives the unwound tape inside the machine a bit of pressure. If your video is shaking most of the time, it might as well be because of a slowly deteriorating pressure-roll. On some models these can be replaced, but I've yet to see that possible on one of my own machines. The pressure-roll is, sorry for language, an absolute bitch. You need a small strip of sandpaper to GENTLY (I repeat this with extra drama: GENT-LY!) sand the surface of the roll. Do not clean this with alcohol, as it will destroy the structure of the rubber even further, making repair even harder. I can't express enough how gently you need to sand the pressing-roll, and also, sand it EVENLY. This to maximize the chance of your tapes playing optimally again.

How cool now y should I convert vhs yet I can still get them online Plus new vcrs y should go back blue Ray's yet they scratch up lock up specially vhs been proven they never lock up
I have AVerMedia EZMaker 7 and the output is stable with tapes that are not that damaged. You may get dropped frames and blue frames with bad tapes without TBC (time base corrector). It's not perfect either but at least you're not going to hit your head against the table with it, I also have an EasyCap and the video is not stable even with good tapes, and the worst was that the image was cropped and resized to 720x576, so I can't even deinterlace properly. If you use Windows 10, don't crap your pants when you connect it and is not detected, you need to install their drivers for Windows 10, because it's an old capture card, the old ones are better because they are actually designed for VHS unlike the newer ones that use dodgy hardware. Use Windows XP if you can. I don't recommend using the software that comes with the capture cards because they are dodgy, learn to use Virtualdub and you are never going back to bad software. VideoHelp forum also recommends ATI AIW, but I never used it, I don't know which one is the best. Read VideoHelp forum for more information about capture cards.
