The picture quality you get is grainy so it’s useless and expensive, you are better off buying a DV to FireWire 800 cable and go that rout. I do not recommend this product , it’s a rip off The picture quality you get is grainy so it’s useless and expensive, you are better off buying a DV to FireWire 800 cable and go that rout.

Great product, it just works! I've mucked around with the generic "Easy Cap" version of this product for years, used on both Mac and PC. In the end the video and audio never sync, I should have grabbed this device much sooner! It's quite hard to find a Mac based video capture device with component input unless you go up to very expensive studio level products!

There are very few settings to get into, which depending on your situation could be a pro or con, but has coped very well with what video and audio I've thrown at it.

Only warning - after stopping the recording, don't quit the application until it finishes exporting (there's no progress bar, so just wait a bit) or you'll have a wonderfully corrupted file to work with afterwards!

Simple and easy to use. Simple and easy to use.

This product was purchased because I was warned that the El Cheapo ones just dont work. Glad I bought this one. It is easy to set up and use and totally reliable. I would recommend it to anyone who has old VCR tapes they want to rescue. Well worth every cent This product was purchased because I was warned that the El Cheapo ones just dont work.

Was looking to transfer some old VHS tapes onto a spare hard drive.
This product did everything I needed, easy to set up and the end result was better than I expected.

Works on either Mac or Pc, as the program required to run it is downloaded from their website.

I bought a cheap convertor - got what l paid for - This Elgato video capture for Mac PC - was the best - dearer then the cheap one, but this has done the job without any problems - worked perfectly - when you have precious memories to save, don't do it on the cheap - it is not worth it - this convertor was worth every cent l paid for it - would recommend it and also recommend PB Tech - gave me good advice I bought a cheap convertor - got what l paid for - This Elgato video capture for Mac PC - was the best - dearer then the cheap one, but this has done the job without any problems - worked perfectly - when you have precious memories to save, don't do it on the cheap - it is not worth it - this convertor was worth every cent l paid for it - would recommend it and also recommend PB Tech - gave me good advice

I have used several similar devices over the years but needed to update as my previous device was too old for Win 7 and above. Very pleased to find PBTech had one device available as I needed to capture some family videos that had been missed. Device installed easily under Win 7 and software is easy to use as it has a wizard interface. Software has a timing feature which means it will stop recording after a set amount of minutes - very handy as this means you can set and forget for long tapes. Capturing worked well, quality of captured movie is as good as any other USB device I have used previously. Price is too high for this kind of device -...view more I have used several similar devices over the years but needed to update as my previous device was too old for Win 7 and above.

Can't fault it. Found an old vcr with s-video out on trademe. The picture quality and recording look great. It of course all depends on the video tape quality that was brought at the time. very simple software, but it works! would highly recommend. Can't fault it.

Really easy to use. Seems to be the most Mac focused.

Little on the expensive side compared to other options. Really easy to use. Seems to be the most Mac focused.

Great product. No issues with it. Easy to use and you can continue to work on other things while it captures video in the background. Allows you to trim the footage but you'll need other software if you want to edit. Great product. No issues with it.
