Great product
Worked perfect! When downloading the add on, I used the OBS one and it was very user friendly. Device worked reliably for many hours as needed.

Wow, this little device is a GAME CHANGER
I am absolutely thrilled with this fantastic little device! I'm in the process of creating a memorial video for my dear friend, and I needed to digitize a 30-year-old VHS tape. My existing VCR/DVD combo unit involved a cumbersome process of burning DVDs and then transferring them to my MacBook Pro (2022). This device has completely streamlined that workflow!Just a quick note for other users: out of the box, the included cables didn't directly connect to my VCR. I needed to acquire a set of male RCA cables (yellow, white, red) to bridge the connection between my VCR and this device. Despite my limited technical expertise, I was able to set it up easily.I am so relieved and happy that this worked! I now have my precious footage digitized and the audio sounds great too! I had previously started converting old VHS tapes but disliked the intermediate DVD burning step. This device is a game-changer, allowing for direct digitization to my laptop. Highly recommend!

Great Video
Used this item to capture video from a VCR to the computer. The audio and video were out of sync. Just got a new laptop with windows 11. This device may not be compatible with Windows11. It was easy to use and the video was great the sound was okay to but not in sync.

Simple, cost-effective solution
. . . needed and quick, cheap solution for capturing a few VHS tapes. Arrived quickly. Worked without special drivers on my Linux box and worked with the suggested, free open source software. Configuring the software was a little tricky and took a few minutes of trial and error.

Distorted video quality is not usable
Doesn't work. It's simple enough to set up and use if you follow the included instruction manual carefully, however when I had it set up, the video fades in and out of color, with lots of static, distortion, rolling bars, etc. I tested the cassette, VHS player and my cables on another TV with none of the distortions, so it was this device which was not functioning properly. I see in recent reviews that others have had similar problems.I am using a Windows 11 machine.

Hardware works. Hostech software does not.
It's hard to rate this. The Grabber hardware works perfectly. Honestech software does not recognise the hardware it comes with.Software says the Camera device cannot be used.It is a great value for the hardware but zero value for the software.VHS to DVD Transfer with GRABBER and ZOOMAround 2010 I transferred a large number of VHS home videos and commercial movies to DVD using a specialized hardware device and accompanying software. Go forward to 2021. While cleaning out all the old VHS tapes I ran across several movies I had not transferred. I can not find the original device kit I used 10 year ago. I bought the DIGITNOW transfer kit from Amazon for $10. Hardware is USB 2.0 Grabber dongle. Software.is Honestech. I was sorely disappointed with the result. The Grabber shows up in WIndows 10 as a Camera device, AV TO USB 2.0 and an audio device, USB 2.0 MIC. Attempting to record the VHS output the Honestech software says the “camera device can not be used”.I recalled that ZOOM records camera videos. I was able to configure the ZOOM client to use the GRABBER devices. The audio had to be configured for Original Sound. For this to work the Grabber Honestech software has to be installed to provide working drivers for the camera and audio.Burning a usable DVD from the captured .mp4 file is another matter. The Honestech burning software does not recognise any of the common video formats. It must be using a proprietary file marker from the transfer. There is no freely available software to render and burn such video files to a DVD. The best solution is available from the Microsoft Store on Windows 10. Install Movie Maker Video Editor and then upgrade to Movie Maker Pro for $14.99 that comes with DVD Creator. It all just works. The only issue so far is the DVDs will not play on the 1988 SONY DVD player attached to the VHS player I use. The DVDs play just fine on my 2009 SONY Bluray player and on PC DVD devices. Go figure.I can transfer my VHS to DVD at a total cost of about $25.

Works under Linux
I have purchased a RCA version - so, purely analog input.This product is based on EasierCAP:$ lsusbBus 001 Device 011: ID 534d:0021 MacroSilicon MS210x Video Grabber [EasierCAP]It is detected and works under Linux Ubuntu as a Plug&Play device. I used it with OBS Studio.While the image sharpness maybe could have been better, I can not compare it with any other product.Unfortunately, vendors hide the hardware information, so it is rather hard to predict if a particular device may or may not work under Linux - so this is the purpose of this review.

Works great!
I tried several others before this brand and this works great! I was going to purchase the other brand “e” but it was double the price and you didn’t have the option to choose your software choice to convert. Plus I was also able to adjust the settings 720/1080 vs other brand which didn’t allow that. The directions are step by step and walks you through connection. However, the one downside is if you run into trouble/issues you’re on your own. I had an issue with sound and echoing which was initially terrible but I figured out how to fix that (after several long aggravating hours) again because no troubleshooting guide/help/manual. With the sound finally fixed I’m now able to record my hi8 tapes using obs with the help of YouTube tutorials and now I’m on my 8th tape transfer to digital already. Great product, comes with everything you need to connect and it works! You are getting a great device for a much better price and more options what’s not to like? Glad I gave this a try.
