A bit hard getting everything right – EasyCAP USB 2.0 Audio/Video Capture/Surveillance Dongle with Mac OS Support Reviews

posted by krissgjeng on 02/07/2010 Certified Owner

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week

Pros:
-you can capture anything that has a composite or svideo output. -supports pal-60/ntsc-433 -comes with the software Ulead VideoStudio SE
Cons:
-using windows 7 x64 means finding the right drivers troublesome. -max resolution is 720x568 -depending on the software there may be some input delay (works great in the bundled software and on media player classic)
Other:
-i'm using my easycap mostly to play and capture on my Nintendo Wii. -It was troublesome getting the correct drivers to get good sound, i had to get the drivers from windows update, the correct driver was USB Audio Device, the other one i got: the emp one gave distorted sounds and i had to change it manually. -Also to get the sound working correctly i had to go to the control panel>sound>properties for the device>advanced and change format to dvd quality. -to get color in pal-60, i had to choose SECAM in ulead videostudio or pal-60 mode in others.
Bottomline:
Can be a bit hard setting up the device depending on what os you have, but once you get everything up and running, everything works great.
