Easy Cap

Zordaner · 07-11-11, 05:24 PM

Ok guys , I'm planning on buy one of these (Easycap USB 2.0 Video TV DVD VHS Audio Capture Adapter-Supports Both PAL & NTSC Formats (Include Professional and easy to learn & used video editor software: Ulead Video Studio 8.0 SE DVD): Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories) for various reasons like recording my ps3 and putting videos onto disks. I'm just wondering how it works and if I need anything else.

Is it as simple as (excuse all my technical terms here) plugging the coloured wires into this adaptor :

then plugging the USB into my laptop , go into the software on the disk and recording?

Edit : Has anyone ever had one of these because the reviews are quite mixed?

I haven't had any experience with an EazyCAP but I heard that the end quality was poor. My brother has a Dazzle DVC100 though and they're quite good. It's around 80 pounds in Curries.

I've never seen anything with so mixed reviews! The videos have awesome quality on youtube but the amazon comments are strange. Some people say it doesn't work with Windows 7 , others say it does.

Best thing is to try it yourself, only a fiver, not the biggest loss if it is rubbish.

Guess so. Anyone know if thats how you set it up (first post). Just don't want to buy it and not have a clue what to do with it!

Should tell you on the instructions or driver disks, if not then i'm sure Google will tell you, have a look now if you are un-sure.

Terrible with wires and stuff

. Will it be any different for USA (because they seem to like being difficult with stuff like this)?

Okay , looked at some tutorials and they say you need some of these y splitters :http://www.amazon.co.uk/Splitter-RCA...1434160&sr=1-2. Now , are these required or do all the tutorials suggest them because their tv's don't have enough space to allow 2 of them things in the first post to go in.

**ryan1087** · 07-11-11, 06:30 PM

All depends on your tv, i wouldn't be able to say.

Zordaner · 07-11-11, 06:31 PM

Basically the back of my tv has 2 of them adaptor ports. Does that help? Just to simplify it I'm more or less saying can I do what I said in my first post and are these tutorials done on tv's with only 1 adaptor port of is it required like that?

According to EzCAP 116 USB 2.0 video capture. Supersedes EzCAP DC60+. World wide delivery. the company have changed their name to ezcap and any easy cap you see now are fakes from China.

Edit : Apparently the fakes don't support 60 PAL either which is a bit bad.

This help?

Zordaner · 07-11-11, 07:18 PM

Thanks , think if I do get it I will get the official from the website (haven't had good experiences with fakes from china and its worth the money really). Have all the tutorials up their fortunately

I have any EasyCap. It's terrible. There are people out there are selling fake easycaps but not on Amazon. So apperently I got a fake one and it's terrible quality. Video quality is alright and audio is not good at all. The real one will be a bit better but still not good. I recommend a hauppage HD PVR. It's around $200 but it's way worth it. Dazzle is also very good.
