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: Cheap and simple way to digitise your old videos - 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. ## Features - Convert Analogue to Digital - Convert your old analogue video to digital Video on computer with this USB stick.

Transferring from VHS tapes using an old Funai VHS player to my HP (Windows 10) laptop. All the cables and connectors required are included, scart connector with the leads to conect to the actual VGB100. Installed the software from the mini disc, which also has the activation code on the envelope. Just follow the instructions and don't worry if it appears that nothing is happening.... it is! After re-starting the laptop and having opened the program I connected the player to the laptop using the cables. The next thing you need to check is that the switch on the scart connector is set to Output. Press play and select Capture. At this point I could see the video playback was poor. I went to the settings and chose PAL I which is UK and Ireland. I also chose the audio out put at that time. Tried again and it was almost perfect. Once the video is playing press the red record button. To stop recording press the green stop button. Drag and drop the thumbnail clip of your recording to the editing section, this is where you can select the actual conversion i.e MP4. I did a practice run and then copied the converted file to my mobile phone (Android 7.1) Moto G5 and it worked great! The VHS tape(s) that I am copying from are over 20 years old and this piece of kit is brilliant, for £20 including Prime next day delivery. Eat your heart out Ebay! I'm far from being a techy so, if I can do this, just about anyone can! Great product. ## Frequently Bought Together - August VGB100 USB 2.0 Video Capture Device Card - Grabber Lead to Convert VHS / S Video / RGB via USB Transfer Cable - For Windows 11 / 10 / 8 / 7 / Vista / XP - Cmple - S-Video Cable Gold-Plated (SVHS) 4-PIN SVideo Cord - 3 Feet --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/48950274-video-capture-windows](https://www.desertcart.us/products/48950274-video-capture-windows) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-10*
