Maybe by the time I've done 100 tapes I will trust the process without having to go through the same old rigamarole. Fortunately, most of the settings are set where you don't have to do any changes, but, just in case, I run through them anyways. I've digitized about four VHS tapes, well, segments of the tapes, actually, now, and I have the settings written down in a notebook which I go over like a catechism now for each time I process a tape. Your advice was great in getting me out of the rut I was in, that is, not using the correct version of virtualdub. I have no goal of running a marathon at this point. And, right now, I just want to become a competent walker. I recognize The Oldskool PC's advice as being at the beginner's level.

VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE HOW TO
Since I am a newbie to this, I have to learn how to walk before I can learn to run a marathon. There are beginners, intermediate and advanced tutorials. I'm fairly deep into the technical aspect of computers, and I can discern different strata of tutorials. I find the criticism of others advice on how to digitize VCR tapes to be amusing. I ordered this from Amazon, although, I don't really think I'll need it. From all that I've seen so far, the most recommended "caption" card, is the elgato video caption card. I was surprised myself though, at The Oldskool PC's use of a very cheap "capture" card. But, after digitizing five more videos, I'll see if this is still true. Frankly, between my less than optimal VCR and my VC500, I'm more than satisfied with the video/audio quality. I'm sure it's not the best money can buy, but it is the one that I have. Regardless, as I mention in my first post, I'm using what I have on hand, my JVC HR-A591U. I plan on watching it again today, so I'll see if he does. I don't recall him even mentioning the model of the VCR he was using during the video.

Yes, if you watch the video, he does have you use the 59.94 and the 29.97 settings. I'll put a little more effort into it, but, in the end, I think I'm just gonna have to trash about 50 Videocassettes.
VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE WINDOWS 10
But, both have their own issues, even more unsurmountable than trying to get Windows 10 to work. I've tried capturing video on a Ubuntu machine. Since Window 10 is so unreliable, then, I suppose I could set up Windows 7 as a virtual machine. Info being evergreen, does that mean that the information from over 10 years ago is still accurate today? Wouldn't you call saving the video to digital form 'capturing' the video? As opposed to the VC500, which output just 'streams' the video. I would call the company which created and maintained the software about a problem, something it was doing wrong, they would send out an update, sometimes, not always, the problem I called in about would be fixed, but, always, it would break something else. I used to work in a telephone central office where I managed the software and the hardware that captured the calls we could bill. Yeah, I suspect that Windows 10 is the culprit. Which Codec? I think, from all of the posts that huffyuv is about the best. Would someone please walk me through the settings. I guess my question is, after I've verified that I'm getting good video out of my VC500. Reading through the many, now outdated, replies on this forum, I see that LMotlow insists that the VC500 can be used with Virtualdub to convert video from VCR to digital format.
VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE INSTALL
So, later, I will install EZGrabber to make sure that my VC500 is still working. I'm searching for a way to troubleshoot my VC500 to see if it is putting out USB video, but, so far I haven't figured out the correct rigging. I bought a small screen display, that had composite inputs, just to check that my VCR was still working. I've also tried with OBS Studio, which posters here insisted would capture from my VTC500. I haven't installed EZGrabber yet, but, I installed Virtualdub2, and except for a few frozen frames, I was not able to get any video from my VC500.

Since then, I've had to do a clean install of my Windows 1O Pro desktop.Ī couple of days ago, I decided to try it again. If I remember right, it seems I initially had success with Virtualdub, but eventually, I could no longer "capture" video from my VC500 with it. Both with the software supplied with the device, and then Virtualdub. Hardly "capturing".Ī few years ago I made an effort to get my VC500 "Capture Card" to work. This device only converts a composite signal into video over USB 2.0. First off, why do they call it a "Capture Card"? It's the software that does the capturing.
VC500 DIAMOND VIDEO CAPTURE UPGRADE
And, no, let's not go down that road again, I don't have the $$$ to upgrade to a better VCR. I have a JVC HR-A591U VCR with composite video output.
