Even just 1$ a month, comes out to the same as Binge-watching all of my 500+ Videos every month.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี

I have this exact thing, under a different name. Very useful, spent around 30h copying old VHS tapes, definitly worth every cent
Hi EndstyleGG
Thank You very much! I agree!!
Thank you for watching! :-)
Sorry for the late reply, but do you remember seeing any difference in quality? In my case, the vhs output from the Easycap glitches with green tears and colour loss (intermittently). The exact same when viewed from the tv is smooth and yields perfect colour. Of course I'm trying with windows 10 now, but will change OS and see if that makes a difference..
And yes, it does show smooth output usually, the tears and colour loss appear at will of the Easycap. Again, no such issues with direct playback.

What name.

@@MyPlayHouse Been There Done That. The more expensive box I bought was worse than the cheap one! Sometimes you can get better results using video grabber freeware.

Glad it was helpful! I think I might want to spend a few box extra next time,, this was to cheap.
Thanks for the video, it's nice to see that little thing so cheap and performing well. I like to give you a little bit of advice before you start recording, shake the VHS tape a little bit and put it into the player push the FF button until the end and later the REW button to lose the tape.
I would recommend to spend a little bit more.
Need this to preserve my sold as blank tapes. Can't let those commercials get lost forever

I'm always impressed about the usefulness of cheap things ordered from china.
Unless I'm mistaken, it should be possible to capture TV-Signals from a reciever with a Scart / Component connection, even if it gets blocked on digital connections... and most TV-Stations only send in 480p /576p anyway.

Thanks for sharing. I have a UCEC adapter & I have also been having problems with image quality/green/magenta lines appearing. Strangely it doesn't happen with every tape. I originally thought it was because the tapes were 20-30 years old but have managed to play them on my TV with no problems at all. Think I'm gonna have to purchase a different adapter.
Hi benrec6
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
@benrec6 did you find a solution? I have the same problem, all tapes play fine via the TV, but when I use the same VCR and cables with the USB device some of the footage is bad quality, lots of lines appear. My VCR has an indicator for when the footage is in stereo and I have noticed that mono footage works fine, but stereo footage has the issue - this can even happen with the exact same tape, so it must be to do with how certain footage was recorded onto it.
Great vid of little Morten :)

I just got free unopened brand new Samsung VCR from 2000. I had a blast playing old tapes but the machine started to behave erratically when it got hot. I just ordered this thingy and won't be using VCR until I backup my tapes. This video was really helpful in my decision to buy it as I don't need fancy 150$+ upscalers and capture devices.

I remember seeing a couple of documentaries on the VHS era, and they were both very interesting. It was the first time ever we were introduced to "time shifting" television. Prior to VHS machines, you had to be home to watch your favorite show. I never really thought about that. Also something like 70% (if my memory serves me correctly) of VHS movies were never released on DVD according to one of the films. Of course a whole bunch of it was junk. There was even a company that paid their employees a bonus to come up with titles for the cover box art before the movie had even been made! They then used the title to write a script, and of course the movies were just awful, but the company made a ton of cash. Why? Because we were all a bunch of knuckleheads who would rent these terrible movies based on the box art. Those were the days!
If you plan on doing quite a bit of these video transfers you may want to invest in the Hauppauge HD PVR system, but this device seems to work very well. I am sure you can get the Hauppauge in PAL format. I have bought a couple of used machines on Ebay, and the quality of the video is just excellent. It also removes any copy guard so there is no flicker or brightening or darkening of the screen. Cool video...gotta go, going to record my VHS of MAD MAX with Mel Gibson, cool movie!
70%,, I did not know that,, most stuff is on the internet these days :-)
Instead of relying on a cloud I am converting my digital files onto analog. All it takes is a power outage or a glitch and all our precious memories are lost or kept from our grasp

Hi there, I had a similar problem with playback of a VHS cassette that was recorded in a home camera. The trouble is not with the age of the tape, try playing the same signal into a TV set with AV inputs, you will see that there is a vast improvement.
The trouble was traced back to the video grabbing device, I further tried to see if I could resolve the problem by changing the Input video standard (there is a utility for this in the software provided on the mini CD) Couldent resolve the problem though, I am hoping to get a good DVR to capture the image off the VCR and then play it back into my PC.

I'm having the same problem with my easy cat. The quality is not very good when transferred to my computer. It plays fine on a television but the video capture device adds lines and green flickering images.
@@joegallegos9109 I have the same issue, did you find any solution?

Mine is coming in the mail today. Had to watch this for reference.
Hope you got it up and running.
@@MyPlayHouse audio was slow motion and pitched down. I think it was because of the computer I was using. Trying it again on my newer gaming laptop, and that should fix my issue.

Well, you'll get both fields interweaved in a single frame. These fields can be deinterlaced by the deinterlacer of your choice.

And most players deinterlace very bad.

One week later from watching the tutorial, after actually trying to convert the tapes (which I was able to thanks for the video), I was wondering if there were any other softwares that could convert the tapes without a watermark. You see I'm converting them for someone other than myself so I would prefer it watermark-free :)
I did put all the software in the description,, I did not see a watermark.
Obs
i have used it on my windows 10 computer, it shows up as oem device on video capture software
So you mean that it work perfectelly?

I'm in a middle of trying to save one of my friend's tape, it has that green and purple colour flickering (like you're seeing it at 14:28). It's annoying but have to accept it as it is an old tape.
Se my new video on this,, I got another grabber and that one have way better picture,, (but bad sound) so it is fixable..
@@MyPlayHouse Is there any software setting solution to this flickering problem? Or is it the hardware issue?
@@khuramkhan Hi, I experienced the same issue with EasyCap. For this reason I purchased "Ezcap" video capture device (similar to EasyCap). With Ezcap I don't experience the flickering problem and in general I could get a better quality.
So instead of EasyCap I recommend to purchase Ezcap.
Good video. But you should use the S/video. The composite has 2 signals in it that the S/video separate. If you look at the 2 signals with a oscilloscope one will over lap with the other signal some. So it's good to separate them with S/video. I don't know but maybe your scart cable can do S/video out just need the cable or I guess make it your self.
Hi Raymond Day
Thank You very much!

One added nice thing using S/video you can copy store bought VHS tapes with Macrovision.

Has anyone found the drivers for this?
I was searching for drivers for windows 10, but I have found another solution. When you get easycap capture usb , you should have instalation cd with it. You put cd in CD-ROM (or DVD-ROM) and copy the files on CD to your HDD.
Before next step I recomend to turn of your internet connection, so you will not download any rootkit, because to instal drivers you need to turn off drivers signing enforcement.
Next step: press SHIFT and click on RESTART (AT THE SAME TIME, its very important). It´s for disable driver signing enforcement which if is on, will not allow you to instal old drivers. How to do it, is in this video: th-cam.com/video/YafV2zlGA38/w-d-xo.html
After you follow these steps in the video, you need to turn on compatibility on setup of your drivers (files in the folder you copy from CD) (right click- properities- compatibility and choose windows 7, vista or xp. I tried it witch compatibility with windows 7).
After that you click on setup and instal drivers .
If you do that and still it not allow you to instal drives, you need to open device manager and then put usb easycap into your pc and connect it with VCR. When you connect it you should seen new device in device manager. Clik on it and choose upgate drivers and choose find drivers in this pc. Then you have to choose it from the folder you copy from your cd. Find folder callled DRIVERS and choose 64 bit version, then click instal.
I had on CD program ULEAD VIDEO STUDIO, but sound was not working, so I download DEBUT VIDEO CAPTURE SOFTWARE and instal it. You need to choose input your easycap usb and best quality in settings and it should work.
When you turn off or restart your pc, then driver signnig enforcement will be on again and easy cap usb wil be not working, because its driver will be blocked by driver signing eforcement. If you want to continue you just only need to disable driver signning enforcement (th-cam.com/video/YafV2zlGA38/w-d-xo.html) . No need for instalation of drivers again. And dont forget to turn off internet connection (just for safety)
After you finish recording VHS to pc I recomend to restar your pc, so the driver signing enforcement will turn on again. After that you can turn on internet connection.
I hope it help. Let me know if it work for you or not.
I am sorry for my english, but I am not native english speaker.

The quality of these varies,, hope you get a good one!
@@MyPlayHouse actaully i will get a better quality one later on, i just want to give this one a try, is a cheap one, if it works ok and i don't have any issues with the process, then il return the cheap one and get a more upgraded one, i have a lot of tapes and want to do a good job on them👍i ask you again, can the videos be transfer to a usb flash drive? 😁👍

I always had trouble with my easy cap, mainly because of software support. I recently purchased one of the ClearClick Video to Digital Converter 2.0 (Second Generation) and so far I like it. It does all of the conversion within the device itself and the only thing I have to do is unplug the USB from the device after I stop recording from the VHS tape and then copy to my computer.
I did a new video with this box : th-cam.com/video/eAg5VHp10Bc/w-d-xo.html it just worked!
has anyone had luck using this on windows 10?
Malithieu i did
No luck especially in 2020.
Yes,, I did a new video using Win10
You might try a head cleaner in that vcr, also check the vcr output on a compatable tv to make sure its not a capture fault.
I have a video of me as a baby taken from Super 8 film, 50 years later, oh hell i feel old lol.
Baggacfreaks, Good idea :-D, and keep the tape in a warm room to drive out any slight damp for a few days.
I've seen vcr's that have been fed slightly damp tapes :-(.
I also use to use chromadioxide basf tapes, they grew tiny dots all over the tape surface, but they vanished after a week in a warm room.
It sounds mad, but it did happen to mine.

@@wefukthenwo I agree now I am 43,, and 42 was way better :-)
I used this cheap USB device and yes it does work quite well, however I achieved much better results copying old VHS tapes using an old but good quality DVD recorder. It takes more effort putting the video on to DVD's and then saving the DVD's onto a computer but the results are much much better. Buying a high quality 2nd hand VHS player is also recommended and you can find these things quite cheap or even for free as people throw them away.

You need an S-Video cable.... better quality
Hi Brian Froeber
Thank You very much!
Thank you for watching! :-)
They make SCART to S-Video cables just like the composite one he is using.... Its why I suggested it because S-Video is far better quality than composite especially if he is archiving.
HUH??? The SCART has the signal he just needs the cable!! images.philips.com/is/image/PhilipsConsumer/SWV2543W_10-IMS-en_GB?$jpglarge$&wid=1250
On the paper the scart have the S-Video out ( S = separated ) but if you try to use s-video form a normal VHS, you will probably get any signal
The signal encoded to tape is actually composite signal, no point messing around with svideo nonsense when you won't even see a difference
I had an easy cap and by the time i took it out of t he box to use it (3-4 months) its plastic cover was disintegrating making the thing so sticky,i could hardly throw it out because it kept sticking to my hand.

@@MyPlayHouse Haha, too true.
I don't know if anyone has suggested that but what about some stabilizer or time base corrector or something to maybe repair the video signal from VHS tapes, they can be rather unstable maybe?
Well this was the best I could do,, feel free to improve on it.
This device is supposed to be compatible with both NTSC and PAL. The issue I'm having with this device is stereo audio being mixed down to mono and a DC offset is put on the audio. This is not a good thing. As far as video, it works pretty good. I did not use the provided software. I used the built in Camera App on Windows 10, and I understand it will work with OBS software.

Hi, thank you for your video. Can you tell me if there will be a problem with the audio recording if there is only one audio ouput on my old VHS player? Would it be better if my VHS player had both outputs to get a better audio recording? Thanks
Than you will only have sound in one of the audio channels,, you can on the computer copy the good audio channel to the empty one.

Hi Fabian’s Media Corner 2001
Thank You very much! I did see that, and believe I found that it was the player, that got out of sync,, and another player did not.
Thank you for watching! :-)
To get a much better result use an dvd burner as a time base corrector. Most of these have this built in
Connect the vcr to the burner ,and the burner to the capture device.
Some of the old 8/hi8 camcorders have this in the menu TBC Turn it on when playing back the tape you will capture.
Running against time is a made for tv movie. This is why you cannot find it anywhere. Catherine Hicks, always nice! Loved her in Star Trek 4: The voyage home, and 7th Heaven tv show.
Maybe borrow a SVHS machine from someone, it might make the signal a bit better?

When I click options, the fields are blank, it doesn't detect the device. Perhaps the electrics in the converter are bad - not surprising from chinese products.

I did everything in the video but the Honestech software says "the selected device can not be used". It says that for everything I try to select. It may be the driver, but I've only found one driver that would install.
I am afraid this video grabber is a bit hardcore to get up and running.
You can eak a bit more quality out of the capture by using proper 75 ohm coax for as much of the cable as possible, using a SCART adapter. A lot of the composite ringing (seen as the cross-hatching or 'chequerboard' pattern on high-contrast edges) will be reduced.

Thank you for watching! :-)
@@MyPlayHouse My pleasure! Nice, down to earth and jargon-free video. Just to clarify, you can get SCART adapters with RCA sockets for a composite video cable (and usually audio). Composite is somewhat maligned because people assume 'a cable is a cable' and expect 'shoelace' types to work. Via 75 ohm coax composite can be better than RGB/component via a cheap/crappy SCART.
Wow! Thank you very much for this video! I'm having a problem with the easyCAP capturing the whole screen, when i see it on the preview screen it's already cut in the edges and i can't capture the full frame....do you know perheps how to fix it? Thanks!
Sorry no I do not know that.
what version is your easycap driver? My driver is 6/212006 (10.0.17134.1) version and has picture problems with Windows 10. Is there newer version of driver?

hi i just bought the grabber installed software, plugged leads in played the vhs tape but it doesnt show on my pc
It can be a bit buggy,,, make sure it sees it under devices manager,, and checkout my latest video on this : th-cam.com/video/VSx7MxZIqpk/w-d-xo.html
maybe there is help there.
Here in early 2022. I had read that some EasyCaps only have monophonic audio, even if you have left & right audio inputs. What was your experience, did yours actually have separate left & right stereo? And how is the sound quality, what was highest sample rate, etc?

When I plug it into a laptop running Win 10 Pro, Device Manager shows AV TO USB2.0 listed under Cameras and Sound, video and game controllers. When I run the Honestech software, The device is shown in Video Device, and the Audio Device... however, the software does not show any video. When I run OSB, there are no devices listed in the Video Capture Device configuration.
Okay,, I have been meaning to try thin in OBS..

When dubbing VHS, I record in Filmora. I have the following problem. Sometimes empty fields appear in the recorded material (they are blue in Filmora). More precisely, these are interruptions in the recording in Filmora that last less than one second. Some of them later they are not visible in the video, but the longer ones are visible. What is the cause of this and how to eliminate it, does anyone know from experience.
Sorry I have no idea :-/
Just bought one and I can hear the vhs audio but I only get a black screen. No video from scart.
It can be really fiddly to get this working.
Yea I'm a big fan of refurbishing old gems like the die hard series.

I have the same setup here with the honestech cables Can you help me understand how to change the file format from ILJ file to a format to upload or share with others who do not have the honestech software ? Thank you
Sorry,, I did not do that.
Hi, I have only just found this video and I am impressed at how simple you make it all look. I have exactly the same device as yours but no software. I was recommended to use OBS software but it is so complicated to set up and after several attempts I still cannot get it to work.
Can you please advise what software you use in your video ? Thank you. Chris.
I have added links to the software in the description.
my friend have one for recording camera 24/7 3 years nonstop work without problem.Work in windows 10 without problem.
