UCEC USB 2.0 Video Audio Capture Card Device Adapter VHS VCR TV to DVD Converter Support Win 2000/Win Xp/Win Vista/Win 7/Win 8/Win 10

This product doesn’t work.It is waste of money.Seller is not ready to replace faulty product. It converts all videos into black white. Also, this is imported from US,so warranty is not valid in India.

S/w not great so used OSB. Successfully copied a lot of old VHS videos to disc. The direct USB connection is delicate and transfer is easy interrupted. The converter would benefit from a short USB lead on its output side.

The physical USB CAPTURE DEVICE works well. Windows: I simply plug in the device, Windows 10 finds drivers for it. I installed OBS Studio coming with the device. 1st time when I lauched the OBS Studio, it does NOT recognize the AV to UBS2.0 device. I had to uninstall the AV To UBS 2.0 device. Re plug in the device, let windows 10 finds the driver again. Another problem I had is there is no sound in the recording mp4 file. I emailed The Product Support and they provided the excellent customer service and I found the cause of my issue is I didn't Mute all audio sources (except the video capture device) in the audio section. After I Mute all audio sources (except the video capture device) in the audio section, everything works well. I recommend this UCEC video capture device to anyone who needs to transfer content from VCR to file. This device is way cheaper than the more advanced conversion packages out there and got the job done well for me.

This little unit is great for hooking up old gaming systems or VCR units to your computer. The downside is that you are most likely going to be using the software that came with it which is actually pretty good, but not too many alternatives out there. This is not the company's fault by any means, they do provide software which helps a lot, but the lack of options do make it difficult to perform the functions you want. We use this to record VHS to MP4. The software writes to .avi and .mpg, but a free solution such as Video to Video or Handbrake will easily do the conversion and even save you some space. The CD-Key is located on CD-ROM Label itself. This is mentioned on Amazon in the product description, but is not listed anywhere in the software itself. Guess I should have looked at the label before throwing it in... Although it has its short comings with software, for the price alone it deserves 5 stars for everything that is included. If you are looking for something that is simple to use and has the greatest features (produce high quality small files, has software with built in video editing, has multiple program support, is plug and play without configuration), look at the higher priced products, but if you are high tech or don't mind playing with things a bit until they work, it is well worth the money. Also, I am currently using this on a Windows 8 Laptop. Windows did pick up on a generic driver, but without software to record, I had to use the CD anyway.

Overall a solid inexpensive product that works pretty well. It is hard to determine if the video resolution / quality is affected by the product - maybe a little but for the price I say this does work quite well. I agree with others that the software is 'clunky' but it does work and there is a LOT of options for output - so many that I had to research and try out to determine the best output options for me! There are MP2 and MP4 and several DVD output options (NTSC and PAL) and other various output options I did not mention. The MP2 option allowed for a number of output resolutions (horizon/vertical lines of resolution) while other options had the resolutions greyed out. I found that there could be problems with some formats playing in a DVD player for example - but I plan to use my Win laptop and all the formats I tried run fine on Win10. One thing is that I could not get MP2, MP4, or DVD FORMATS to run on my iPhone (wanted to stream to TV - loaded file to iCloud then to phone) maybe this can be done - by no luck yet. The included software did load and work the first time on a home win10 laptop - 64bit - i3 Intel processor 2.0 GHZ. Video stream/bitrates were fine with the standard defaults - but when I tried to change things - like increase bitrates I saw no real improvement in quality but the file sizes jumped up a lot (a LOT) and video jumping/skipping did occur - so I used the standard default with no skipping. Standard DVD equivalent resolution file sizes ran about 3 GB per hour so be prepared for big files! I have copied from Sony Hi8 and MiniDV with no issues. I used the RCA video and Svideo inputs and both worked fine. I did think Svideo was failing at first (no picture) but just needed to click a button in the software then a clear pic on my laptop to copy! Update: after a week of copying dozens of Hi8 videos from my Sony camcorder - I have some tips. I am getting really great quality copies by using the s-video cable and selecting MP-2 with a bitrate of 8000. This is a higher bitrate than standard settings but it results in very good copies. Your computer needs to handle this higher bitrate for this to work. Lower bitrates were resulting in bad video with lots of motion artifacts. Note that 8000 bitrate will need about 3.7 gig per hour of video.

The software is really not great but using the free OBS studio (excellent) solved that problem easily. The video quality was decent, not perfect but sufficient to save video8, Hi8, DV and even VHS to PC. Based on my first impression I would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately that unit stopped working properly after a few days. It does get quite hot during the transfers and perhaps the heat is affecting the reliability of the unit. If I had known ahead of time I would have put a small fan in front of the unit to cool it down... It is sad that this unit only worked for a few days as the results were acceptable. One has to realize that converting from a tape to digital will always introduce some deterioration of the video unless you can input directly to the PC through firewire if your PC has one... In summary this is a decent unit which produces very acceptable results. I believe I got a defective unit, otherwise it would have lasted much longer... For the price it is definitely worth a try. If you get a bad one, return and order a new one!
