## Description

Diamond VC500ST One Touch Standalone Digital Converter: Capture/Record Video from VHS, HI8, Camcorder, Set Top box or any source with Composite/S-Video RCA AV outputs

Review: Works Great...With The Right Flash Drive - Of all the analog to digital video converters I have tried over the years, this is, without a doubt, the easiest to use and best thought-out of them all. I highly recommend it, but I also suggest you read ahead and take my advice into consideration. After converting my first dozen tapes, I started playing them back and was devastated to see that the AUDIO was WAY out of sync with the video, and I mean WAY out! I tried re-syncing the audio and video with editing software, but it was too inconsistent and I gave up. Calling Diamond's tech support loomed like a nightmare to me, but to my great surprise, I immediately found myself on the line with Louis, an English-speaking tech who took a genuine interest in my problem. Louis advised that he hadn't heard of this problem before, but he offered to replace the unit, no further questions asked. First, he requested that I try capturing to a different flash drive. This seemed like a waste of time, and I almost had the unit packed and ready to ship when I decided to pull out a high-quality Samsung USB 3.1 drive that I had paid $15 for. I plugged it in to the Diamond VC500ST and formatted it with the menu, then I proceeded to re-convert a 2 hour VHS tape that had transferred out of sync a week earlier. This time, using the Samsung flash drive, the video and audio transferred in perfect sync! So now my opinion of the Diamond VC500ST has gone from 3 stars to 5 and, although I am miffed that I have to re-convert all those tapes, I look forward to using it to convert many more hours of nostalgic and historic VHS tapes. Bottom line: Spend a few bucks and buy this machine, but DO NOT skimp on the flash drive. You'll need a large one, but don't go cheap!
Review: Great Tool For Converting Old Home Movies - You cant beat this for the price, it worked great and I noticed the Firmware that shipped on mine was from 2021. Some of the complaints on here deal with the video editing software that comes bundled with this device and in no way should reflect on how this devices works. If you need something that quickly converts video tape to a MP4 file, this is for you. This is perfect for older tapes but will not do HD video and thats fine with me for what I am using it for. The video quality is exactly what my tape looks like and I did not notice any degradation of video quality.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with windows 10?**
A: As far as I know it doesn't.  I bought this somewhere else and was even sent a replacement directly from the company itself because the one I had was not working on my Windows 10 computer.  Replacement also had the same issue.  You will hear the audio but will not see any video.  I initially thought it might be a computer issue since it worked on my Windows 7 computer.  I recently got another Windows 10 computer  and when I tried this device on the new computer I was facing the same issue I was facing with my older Windows 10 computer.  So it can be confirmed it does not work in Windows 10.

**Q: Will this work in Linux / ubuntu 14.04**
A: B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg

**Q: Can you transfer from VHS to a computer file, such as MP4?**
A: I use Windows 10 and using the EZGrabber, which is included on the CD with this package, it saves to the computer as AVI automatically. I don't remember seeing a choice for MP4.

**Q: When I try to load Ezgrabber, I get a message that says, RoxioCinePlayer can not be found, try again using a valid copy of rhe RoxioCinePlayer installation package, "CPDP ". My question is, where can I find a valid copy of the Roxio
CinePlayer installation package, "CPDP"? I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Any advice will b…**
A: It's been a few months since I did the installation, but your problem rings a bell. I'm on a Windows 7 system (and yes, the tool is called EZGrabber on mine as well). I ran into some problems that seemed to stem from the installation software expecting to go onto a system running XP. My solution: instead of using the product installation software, I just went into each individual folder on the CD and clicked on the .exe files. Although it took a few extra clicks, everything installed without a problem, and it all seems to be playing nicely. I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great...With The Right Flash Drive

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ It is better than I expected
*by R***N on September 25, 2022*

I bought this to convert my VHS tapes to MP4 so I could actually watch them while traveling and stuck in a motel or tent. We all have a box of old VHS movies that never made it to DVD or a box of home movies we made when the kids were young. This is a handy small unit that converts these so I can upload the final product to a storage unit like The Cloud or Dropbox and share them with friends or family. But mostly so I can upload them onto my I-pad to watch when camping. And it seems to bypass the anti-copy feature on many VHS and DVDs. And the unit does the job very well. Even without instructions, the thing is easily intuitive and if you have an average IQ, using it will be no problem. I use a flash-drive but it can also record on a micro-SD card. I use a splitter form my VHS to the TV and the recorder so I can watch while I record and know when to stop the unit. My only two complaints are that the unit does NOT stop recording when the signal ends at the end of the tape and the stop/pause button is a bit tricky. Other than it, I like the machine and will continue to convert my favorite DVD to MP4 so I will have a selection to watch while traveling.
