Yes, if you watch the video, he does have you use the 59.94 and the 29.97 settings. I'll put a little more effort into it, but, in the end, I think I'm just gonna have to trash about 50 Videocassettes.
#VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE WINDOWS 10#
But, both have their own issues, even more unsurmountable than trying to get Windows 10 to work. I've tried capturing video on a Ubuntu machine. Since Window 10 is so unreliable, then, I suppose I could set up Windows 7 as a virtual machine. Info being evergreen, does that mean that the information from over 10 years ago is still accurate today? Wouldn't you call saving the video to digital form 'capturing' the video? As opposed to the VC500, which output just 'streams' the video.
#VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE SOFTWARE#
I would call the company which created and maintained the software about a problem, something it was doing wrong, they would send out an update, sometimes, not always, the problem I called in about would be fixed, but, always, it would break something else. I used to work in a telephone central office where I managed the software and the hardware that captured the calls we could bill. Yeah, I suspect that Windows 10 is the culprit. Which Codec? I think, from all of the posts that huffyuv is about the best. Would someone please walk me through the settings. I guess my question is, after I've verified that I'm getting good video out of my VC500. Reading through the many, now outdated, replies on this forum, I see that LMotlow insists that the VC500 can be used with Virtualdub to convert video from VCR to digital format.

So, later, I will install EZGrabber to make sure that my VC500 is still working. I'm searching for a way to troubleshoot my VC500 to see if it is putting out USB video, but, so far I haven't figured out the correct rigging. I bought a small screen display, that had composite inputs, just to check that my VCR was still working. I've also tried with OBS Studio, which posters here insisted would capture from my VTC500. I haven't installed EZGrabber yet, but, I installed Virtualdub2, and except for a few frozen frames, I was not able to get any video from my VC500.
#VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE PRO#
Since then, I've had to do a clean install of my Windows 1O Pro desktop.Ī couple of days ago, I decided to try it again. If I remember right, it seems I initially had success with Virtualdub, but eventually, I could no longer "capture" video from my VC500 with it. Both with the software supplied with the device, and then Virtualdub. Hardly "capturing".Ī few years ago I made an effort to get my VC500 "Capture Card" to work. This device only converts a composite signal into video over USB 2.0. First off, why do they call it a "Capture Card"? It's the software that does the capturing.

And, no, let's not go down that road again, I don't have the $$$ to upgrade to a better VCR. Also, had to set all config options whenever you start the program.I have a JVC HR-A591U VCR with composite video output. Setup options can adjust brightness/contrast for low-light scenes.Īll encoding seems to be done in hardware (no high CPU load)Ĭons: Starting to encode when sound was on creates a loud 'burp', and some scenes had a few frames of 'tearing' which seemed to correspond to when I was moving while taking the videos. Pros: Easy to use (click to record, click to stop). To play back on Windows Media player, I had to install Media Player Codec pack 4.4.1. EzGrabber created a single file for each clip which was at 720x480 and got all the quality available out of my old Sony Video8 (analog) tapes. Also tried AVI which required 1.2GB/min (too large) and VCD (default) which was not as clear and very small (352x240). I experimented with the settings and chose 'DVD' which uses an MPEG standard format and requires about 60MB/minute. EzGrabber has 8 different settings to encode video which was not referenced in the downloaded manual. Running Win 10 64 bit.Īll I wanted to do was to digitize the clips, which worked well with EzGrabber. I download the manual, current USB driver, EzGrabber capture software and Arcsoft ShowBiz Video editor from Diamond, but ShowBiz required a code. I purchased this item used without any software. Did well to capture video from old camcorder
