Serves its purpose at a very affordable price.
This little unit is great for hooking up old gaming systems or VCR units to your computer. The downside is that you are most likely going to be using the software that came with it which is actually pretty good, but not too many alternatives out there. This is not the company's fault by any means, they do provide software which helps a lot, but the lack of options do make it difficult to perform the functions you want. We use this to record VHS to MP4. The software writes to .avi and .mpg, but a free solution such as Video to Video or Handbrake will easily do the conversion and even save you some space. The CD-Key is located on CD-ROM Label itself. This is mentioned on Amazon in the product description, but is not listed anywhere in the software itself. Guess I should have looked at the label before throwing it in... Although it has its short comings with software, for the price alone it deserves 5 stars for everything that is included. If you are looking for something that is simple to use and has the greatest features (produce high quality small files, has software with built in video editing, has multiple program support, is plug and play without configuration), look at the higher priced products, but if you are high tech or don't mind playing with things a bit until they work, it is well worth the money.Also, I am currently using this on a Windows 8 Laptop. Windows did pick up on a generic driver, but without software to record, I had to use the CD anyway.

all other lower star ratings are bad, learn to adjust settings
i like how this was easy to set up in obs, the max it goes to is 560p which is a good resolution for like the wii, the delay on the audio is bad but when u tweak the delay on obs its about a second or 2 off, it was easy to connect, this does work with windows 10 if you use obs or streamlabs. but it doesnt come with a splitter, but those are about 10$ on here and if u want to start streaming your older games or just wanna share to your friends this is a good capture card to start with, just know when buying this, you will need to use the usb extender if u buy the cheaper splitters. read more reviews just in case they say u fix something about a product without so many tweaks or editing in your recordings. if you buy this, i hope my review helped out a bit if you should buy this or not. 🙂

Great for saving old VHS to digital!
This thing worked great for me! There aren't many instructions, but for me it was fairly intuitive. I've seen some people have to change settings to pick up the intended source, but mine went straight to the source (VCR) without doing anything to the settings. I set to record in DVD-NTSC format, thinking that could be copied to a disc and be ready to play, but that did not work like a regular DVD. It will play in a player that plays video data files. I was unpleasantly surprised to find that DVD Maker is no longer a part of Windows 10, so had to do some research to find something that would burn the disc to play like a regular DVD. I found DVDStyler, which was a free download, and it worked like a champ! It sets up menus and allows the disc to play in a regular DVD player. This software was also quite a bit faster than my previous experiences with Win DVD Maker. The video quality was as good as the original videos, which is not very high resolution to begin with (VHS-C). I'm very happy being able to save the old home movies to digital, because the old videos will degrade over time. The device gets fairly warm, but is well vented.

Piece of unsupported junk! Don't buy.
16 Jun 2018: I bought this in August 2017 and set it away (read: sorta forgot it). I needed to transfer important VCR tape to digital. I've done many in the past using a VCR player and a separate DVR. Then transferred the DVR to the PC. Lengthy. Saw this and ordered it. Read the limited instructions. Connected it this AM, loaded the SW onto my W-7 laptop. It immediately wanted to run my built in camera. The top of my head appeared. The prompts "Composite, SVideo and Cable" also highlighted. Clicked Composite which I intended to use; still top of my head. Ok, maybe I must Record: recorded the top of my head. Juggled cables between units...same thing, for VCR and DVD outputs. Every time I clicked a choice, it flashed on the video screen but no change in view. Changed USB ports...restarted...ditto. Searched down an Svideo cable. Ditto for both players, both ports. OK, disk has "Windows 10 on it." May not work on W-7? Moved everything to my desktop W-10 system. DITTO!! Tried to register...it was not listed on the product line. Found a Support number. Got a nice guy at Vidbox or such. "We don't support that device...we can't control that they do not remove our number from the software." Further searching yielded no support info under UCEC or similar names...only info is from the tech who told me "They are out of China." This product is now filed in my trash can, another month in warranty or not...can't contact the company. Does not work? Useless. Please notice the "test lab" in photo where this fiasco wasted my entire morning. I am what my Amazon handle indicates. Technically inclined.

Be patient, be aware this ships with a mini-CD with drivers and software, no web site for downloading.
Arrived today. My main computer is an HP All-in-One that has a non-tray DVD/CD optical tray, so the included mini-CD (3 inch/8cm) with the drivers and software cannot be installed on my desktop, and there is no website mentioned to allow downloading the drivers and software, so I had to use my HP laptop that has a DVD/CD optical drive with a tray that will accommodate the mini-CD. It took perhaps 90 seconds before the Auto-Run feature started, so be patient. Installed and runs just fine on my Win10 laptop once I figured out the function buttons on the virtual control display and I selected the external input and built-in speakers, etc.It's not very clear how to select the VHS player, so I'll try to explain:1. On the bottom of the "control panel" there's a row of icons. To the right of the "clock" icon there's a stylized "wrench and nut" icon. Click it.2. Click "Property Settings."3. Select the Video Capture Device dropdown.4. Select "OEM Device."5. Check the box beside "Using the internal streaming function."6. Restart the application.Worked for me!

Works well with OBS but USB connection a bit flimsy
S/w not great so used OSB. Successfully copied a lot of old VHS videos to disc. The direct USB connection is delicate and transfer is easy interrupted. The converter would benefit from a short USB lead on its output side.

Do not buy, it doesn’t work
This product doesn’t work.It is waste of money.Seller is not ready to replace faulty product.It converts all videos into black white. Also, this is imported from US,so warranty is not valid in India.

Software not safe.
I loaded this item onto my windows ten computer and an instant message came up that it may be transferring my system information to a third party!! Immediately removed it from my computer and returned it to Amazon.
