Does anyone know anything about this capture device.

[BlackLightning1]

Im a little warry, but its cheap, and seems like it should work. Im trying to find a review for it anywhere.



Original EasyCap USB TV Video/Audio DVD Capture Adapter

Im finding it fairly cheap, less than $20

I found a couple reviews, but all the places to buy it are ebay...

Theres this guy who is a Moderator on SmashBrawlRankings.com called DullRazor. This guy recorded matches using a similar device which I forgot the name of and spent $30 for it.

He used a USB TV audio/video dvd capture adapter.

I actually asked him yesterday and coincidences don't exist without reason...Are you working for our government...

One video in which he used this USB TV device, is in a combo video called: Rise Of The Machine

It's a Brawl montage/combo video featuring ROB btw. Not a bad video aswell.

I spoke to Dull, he said he bought a Dazzle. Maybe he just got lucky on the price. *shrug*

Never heard of this easy-cap product, sorry.

Well, ill tell you how it works out. video included, and ill probably make a new topic. Technology has to progress, right?

Well if it's that cheap it's probably lower quality. I spent $54 US on a Dazzle Video Creator Platinum and the quality is great for what I paid for, so you should consider spending that extra bit of cash to get something better.

Well, im pretty happy with it. And i can get great quality, but it takes up like 1GB for a minute of video X_X

I just need to get a RCA Y-splitter so i can play the video on my tv and computer, and just send the sound straight to the computer. Although i guess i could get 3 splitters and just go all out.
Heres a quick vid. This one took up about 50mb

I messed up a little on the resolution, but it can be fixed.

Only fuzzy because I was playing it straight on my computer rather than running it through a tv first, so i didnt want any skipping while trying to play it. I dont care if the video skips a little after its made, but i need it running through the tv first so i can play it normally.

the capture looks good. i would try using windows media encoder with it for better compression, quality, and file size. i explained how to use it throughouly in my q&a thread but perhaps il make another one for ppl who didnt get to see it

 

[BlackLightning1]

Ill check it out. I changed my settings and am now recording in DVD mpeg format, and converting to mpeg so my quality has gotten much better. New video looks nice.

I use that capture card. I assume that yours comes with Ulead videostudio editor and movie wizard. I record in 320x240 WMV, but my videos have problems when I edit them or upload them.
