Review: (Review includes troubleshooting for the device) A great, cheap bit of kit! I can record VHS onto PC/laptop in colour! - I bought this August VGB100 video capture cable from desertcart and it has done the trick! I can transfer the videos (from VHS tapes) that I wanted to my laptop. This works fine with Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit operating system. Installing the software was a piece of cake and plugging in the USB was too. The manual does not have enough info. in it. The programme that captures and stores the video is also really easy to use. I couldn't get any picture on the device at first (but I did get sound), then I did! The tricky bit is to get the USB device operating properly. This is what I had to do. SET UP/TROUBLESHOOTING: Put my VHS tape in a video player and set it running (when everything else is ready); Make sure the red, yellow & white phono connections on the USB stick are connected to the Output of the VCR/video player/video recorder (red to red, yellow to yellow and white to white); The settings you will need to select in the programme that is used to capture the video (the programme that came with the device) is - capture device, composite video (not S Video if you are using phonos), Analog Audio In (sound from the USB 2.0 device), regular volume (no other choice), and 4:3 (if you use 16:9 then everyone in the video will appear larger than they are); and Set the VHS going and if everything is OK then you will be able to hear sound from your USB and the video will appear OK. NO SOUND AND/OR NO PICTURE: If not OK then you need to do the following: Check the manual to see that the drivers for receiving and recording sound and video through USB 2.0 have been installed correctly (check your device manager) and that everything else is at it says in the manual; and If it is all set up as per the above and as per the manual then you should be OK. NO PICTURE BUT SOUND IS OK: You are getting sound but perhaps not the video itself/no picture. To get the picture you need to do the following: Keep the VHS running; Open up your device manager and check which video drivers you are using. If you are using the NVidia driver or the Intel driver then you should get a picture. If one of your selected drivers is the Windows video driver then you'll need to change it to one of the ones above to get a picture (I had to do this) - device manager - video drivers - right click the driver you want, select update driver, select search for drivers on this computer, choose select driver from the list and select one of the NVidia or Intel drivers (the latest version you have) and press to install. Once it installs you will get video on the device; Open up the additional options menu on the capture page of the capture video programme; Check that you are getting a number next to the found line and found signal entries (you should be); and If the picture is black and white with vertical lines running through it then choose another video standard. Even if the VHS is in PAL try another PAL version or try Secam. Secam worked for me even though the tape was PAL. You can get the software from here - http://www.augustint.com/en/downloadsoft-9.html - or here (later version) - http://arcsoft-showbiz.soft32.com/free-download/ . And that's it. Hope that helps. Happy video capture and transfer folks!
Review: Only worked once and then gave up - I spent ages setting this up and to he honest, it was my fault for not connecting before installing software. I then managed to capture one short section of my vhs tape. However, I then tried the next tape and there was no preview at all. I tried everything from turning off, disconnecting, rebooting etc to no avail. It did capture in the background but the quality was absolute rubbish. I then used a trial version of Golden Videos, which, using this capture card worked well but the trial only records 5 mins. After that, you have to buy just the software for $39 dollars which I was not prepared to spend on top of this product. It proved that the physical capture device worked but the software was not capable plus it will only capture as wmv and I wanted .mp4. It might just not be compatible with Windows 10 but no good to me so sent back.

### ⭐ Only worked once and then gave up

I spent ages setting this up and to he honest, it was my fault for not connecting before installing software. I then managed to capture one short section of my vhs tape.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheap and simple way to digitise your old videos
*by R***. on 29 December 2014*

Quick and easy way to convert your old analogue VHS and Hi-8 tapes onto your laptop. You'll need to buy the right leads to connect this device to your video machine - usually a Scart-phono plugs lead will do the trick (but use the S-video connection for Hi-8). Works perfectly on my Windows 8.1 64-bit PC. I marked it down a star because it doesn't appear as a standard video source in Windows - you have to install the (supplied) ArcSoft software - don't lose the licence key ID. You can download this if your laptop doesn't have a CD drive. But it seems a bit old-school fiddling about with licence keys, and the ArcSoft software manages to be too complicated for a complete novice, yet too limited for an advanced user - for example there's no way to change the capture bitrate (which is a very high 7 megabits per sec, so creates some file sizes far too big for grainy old VHS) or audio tracks/levels. But perhaps at this low price you can't complain too much.
