Usb video capture device software

i have a usb video capture device and i wanted to know if there was a program that lets you watch your vhs movies with it on your computer

Not totally following you here.
You can get an adapter that allows you to plug, say, your VCR into the computer to copy video from a VHS to a DVD, and have it edited on the computer, is that what you are looking for?
My opinions are mine, and mine alone.

Opinions on low cost USB video capture devices for FMLE?

I have already tried a few such devices. I would at least like to achieve reasonable SD at 720 X 480. HD would be a plus, but not necessary. My camera has HDMI, SDI, and Component and composit out. I have already tried a couple of capture devices, and the results were as follows.
SIIG USB 2.0 Video Capture Device - JU-AV0012-S1
Pretty clear as to why this was so cheap. It claims full NTSC support, but that is only on the input. Output is 320 X 240 only.
DIAMOND USB 2.0 HD Game Console Video Capture Device GC500 USB 2.0 Interface
Again, this unit claims "HD" but that is only on the input. Output is 640 x 480. The image quality was terrible with the supplied software, or with Adobe FMLE. Noisy, and well below full NTSC quality. Even when fed with the component out of a Sony NX5. Unacceptable. Even for the bargain price at Frys.
Hauppauge HD PVR 2 Gaming Edition
Seems I bought a dud. I went back and forth with Hauppauge support, and never could get this to be detected by FMLE, or the included software. On doing a search online for the error message I received, I discovered many similar trouble reports on various forums. I bought this one at a discounted price. Perhaps this is the reason why.
The notebook I have is a Windows unit, with no expresscard slot, or 1394 input (unfortunately). I did look briefly at the Blackmagic Intesity Shuttle, but it needs USB 3.0.
Curious to hear of any sucess with USB capture and FMLE, and with a device under (hopefully well under?)$200.

I've been streaming with the ION Video2PC capture device...it works flawlessly with no problem. The machine I've been testing it on can only pump out 480p or 540p at the most. But, I'm sure if I used it on a faster machine I would get way better results. You can find them used under $30 bucks online and unlike most cheap capture/input devices, you can access the video and audio in FMLE. Just thought, I'd share they info.

Video Capture Device

I have a cheapo Capit usb video capture device. It works fine in my Win 7 T61 with only 4gb RAM and a 2.0gh C2D. When I try to use it in the T400, it's not so good. The monitor frame is scrambled when I go to record and the audio and caption is way off. What did I do? These are both set up nearly identically.
T400,, 2.53ghz T9500,8gb ram Windows 7 Home Premium
T61,15.4 T7300, 2gb RAM, Windows 7 Home Premium
14.1 T23, type 2647 9LU, 1.13 PIII, 1gb, XP Pro

Yea I actually have a sony that has analog to digital passthrough. However, i've been using it as a webcam recently and i'm almost convinced that that has something to do with the fact that i've had to send it for repairs recently. I think that having it on for long periods of time without having a tape in it or using it for recording poses a potential risk for head damage. So im a little wary about using it as a bridge to capture hours of analog footage to my computer. So would you know of any other peripherals designed specifically for capturing analog sources on an imac?

USB video capture not working

I'm having trouble with Skype recognizing USB video capture devices. I've been doing this for years and now can't seem to get it to work. I only do this every few months, so I might have missed a post. I have tried 4 different computers with 4 different USB capture devices, it would seem it;'s a Skype issue. Anyone else have some ideas? Will Skype repair the issue?
Thanks for your toughts!

This works for me. I have to do it every once in awhile after powering up my PC.
It may or may not work for you.
Open Windows Device Manager and for each Universal Serial Bus (USB) Host Controller right-click on it and then left-click on Properties. Ensure that the Device Status TextBox shows "This device is working properly." If not, Disable and Enable that USB Host Controller.

Can't get driver to work with ezcap usb 2.0 video capture device on windows 8.1

I have an ezcap video capture device that works fine on my windows 7 machine but will not work in windows 8.1. The software (arcsoft 3.5) functions properly but will not let me select the video grabber as a source. The driver itself indicates not compatible with 8.1 and the there are no drivers out there that I can find to address this issue? Any known solution would be helpful.

Hi,
It is not from HP. Please try driver from the following link:

How to connect a video capture device to Satellite M30X 127

I'm going around in circles trying to find a video capture device that will function with a laptop and would be grateful for advice. By way of example, I'm now looking at the 'Canopus ADVC-110', although still looking around (but not Pinnacle, who seem to have a terrible reputation for capture items).
Problems include:
1. Main problem is - many video capture external devices require a 'line-in' to PC for good quality audio transfer. This laptop doesn't have a line in, only the mike and headphone jacks. In addition, I've also tried a few RCA pins in the 3.5mm microphone/headphones jack and they were too small. How to solve the problem of getting audio from vcr to my PC?
2. The ADVC-110 connects to the PC via Firewire (and S-video), but is a SIX-pin type. M30X is a FOUR-pin type. Are there adapters available?
3. Some capture programmes seem to require huge capacity of RAM. Is a laptop going to be suitable to do the job? (I simply want to capture old vhs tapes from vcr to PC, then burn to DVD with Nero 7 or similar).
Thanks in advance!

Hello
You are right! You must use external device for signal transfer to your notebook. I dont know where you have this info but I have good experiences with Pinnacle product. For data transfer I have used USB port.
'Canopus ADVC-110 is not known to me but I dont see any reason why this should not work well. Use delivered software for video capturing and there should not be any problem.
Only thing is that after recording the whole video material must be prepared for burning and unit need a lot of power to do this well und fast. When you buy this and want to use on right way I recommend you to expand RAM to 1GB.
Compatible memory modules for your Satellite M30x are:
PC2700 512MB (PA3312U-1M51)
PC2700 1024MB (PA3313U-1M1G)

Advice Needed for Video Capture Device

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a USB (or Firewire if they exist) video capture device that can take S-Video and composite connections. Could someone recommend me best one under $150 that is compatible with Snow Leopard? Also, and more importantly, does anyone know if it is possible to capture the signal via Quicktime Pro or Final Cut Pro rather than bundled third party software.
Thanks!

I used the predecessor to the Canopus ADVC55 to load VHS tapes into a mac. As I recall I brought the firewire signal into iMovie (could have been Final Cut Pro too, as I had both on the system). Here are the specs: http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advc55 . Also some comments on it at http://www.amazon.com/Hardware-ADVC-55-d-Converter-Ntsc/dp/B000HGVZG0/ref=sr_1_2 ?ie=UTF8&qid=1323954590&sr=8-2 Here's another source to buy it: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/312315-REG/Grass_Valley_602005_ADVC_55_Ana log_to_Digital.html .
They also make an ADVCmini, which I haven't used, which is probably less expensive, with specs at http://www.grassvalley.com/products/advcmini

Adobe premiere elements 12 with diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.

Adobe premiere elements 12 and using Diamond vc500 one touch video capture device.
AVI files will not load into Adobe premiere elements 12.
I bought what I thought were the two best software and capture devices.
I am archiving old VHS tapes and using Diamond vc500 capture software called EZ grabber. I thought the best archiving format would be AVI files. As I just started this project. I am willing to do what is needed.
That even being, going and buy another capture device that being for a VCR to PC using a USB are even a Video card.
EZ grabber software ask you to record in what format. I picked AVI. There is DVD - SVCD - VCD - MPG4. I want to archive then go back and edit. The DVD or SVCD format, is that not the same as mpeg 2?
You and I know the drill. Saving in what long term archive format and that dare thing about video compression and losing quality of the videos. Its all a nightmare.
Once again I am willing to buy another capture device for a VCR that will work with Adobe premiere elements 12.
Help please with long term archiving format and capture device.
Thanks

The answer is B.
Capturing the VHS content to computer (via the Diamond vc500 and USB connection and EZ grabber) to obtain an .avi file on your computer and then trying to import that into Premiere Elements with its Add Media/Files and Folders?
When I do that, the Adobe premiere elements 12 crashes or only loads a 2 mins of video.
The firewire connection device "Canopus" product sounds great. But I really don't want to spend that much on my home videos. My PC does not have a Firewire connection. So add a new card for that and the Canopus product. I could just pay someone to do my VHS tapes.
Diamond vc500 $35
Adobe premiere elements 12 $65
Firewire card $50 plus
Canopus $180
$330 is way too much for simple home VHS videos

Video Capture Devices?

What is a good video capture device for the macbook that I could use to capture video from my video camera(which has no firewire or USB ports on it).

Your camera is a Hi8 and is also known as "analog". I'm an editor.
Since you're camera doesn't have a FireWire port (which is what all capturing is done with), there's no way to capture without an external device, as you may know.
So, I suggest getting the Canopus ADVC-110. I have it and it works flawlessly with FCP (which is what I edit in) and it will work with iMovie also. There is also the Canopus ADVC-55. For both of these adapters, you'll need to hook up the RCA (white, red and yellow) cables to the device, and capture. Your camera should have RCA inputs. These devices are a little expensive, but they work great. No additional software/drivers. It's worth it.
Canopus ADVC-110
Canopus ADVC-55
Similar in price, personally I would get the ADVC-110.

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not

After using video capture device to copy VHS to DVD, burnt DVD will play on computer but not on DVD player. Tech support for the VCD said my HP DVD burning software has to burn "DVD Video and not DVD data" and to check with HP. How can i check myself.

Grahamster, welcome to the forum.
I recommend trying CDBurnerXP for burning video CD's. I have been using it for years without a glitch. I use it mainly for burning ISO's, but have used it for all types. Please let us know if it works or not.

No video capture devices were found

I recently discovered that the iSight camera (now named FaceTime HD camera?) does not work on my recently acquired MacBook Pro Retina 15".
I have attempted to reset the SMC, but that did not appear to solve the problem.
Under "System Information" > Camera it simply states "No video capture devices were found".
It also does not appear under USB as some other threads have suggested.
When I start Photo Booth or FaceTime the camera icon with a line across is displayed, and Photo Booth also states "There is no connected camera".
I am currently running OS X 10.8.5 (12F45).
As far as I can tell the problem has been there since I first received the machine back in June, I simply have not had any reason to use the camera until now.
Have anyone else run into a similar problem, or is there perhaps somewhere I could look at log files or system files or something like that to attempt to track down the cause of the problem?

It sounds like you already have done everything you need to do.
Because your camera is not being recognized by your "recently acquired MacBook Pro", contact Apple or the retailer who sold it to you for help. They can tell you if your Mac needs to be repaired or exchanged for one that works properly. Otherwise, they can show you how to use the camera.

External video capture devices?

I'll be getting a Macbook Pro soon and I have a older Sony camcorder that doesn't have USB or fire wire. It's only output is composite and L R audio. Can anyone recommend a good external video capture device that works with a mac and Final Cut Express?

Hello,
I'm currently using a Canopus ADVC110 analog/digital converter with no problems with Final Cut Express 4.0.
You can see more details about the device on http://www.canopus.com/products/ADVC110/index.php
I bought my new one on eBay and paid almost half the current price.

Armando.

Supported Video Capture Devices?????

I recently purchased the Adobe Photoshop Elements Premium 8.0. I am now looking for a VIDEO CAPTURE DEVICE that is supported for use with this software. Adobe offically only says Matrox brand devices are acceptable but these devices are expensive.
I've also heard about the Canopus 110 for about $200.
If anyone can make a suggestion on which Capture Device to use, which ones are recommended or the one that just seems to work best, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Robert

Play video from video capture device

I tried fixing my running of out memory for the video buffers problem but could find a fix. I have tried code from a book and it doesn't work. I can only get the video feed to display the video from the capture device using JMStudio, so the device works fine. Maybe my coding methodology/process is incorrect.
Is there anyone out there that knows of some working code that plays live video in a window from a video capture device. Any other help regarding to displaying capture video would help. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I am using the Belkin USB VideoBus II and it uses the video for windows drivers (vfw), so yet it is supported. And it works when I use JMStudio to play the live feed from the capture device. Thanks for the suggestion.
I also ran the code suggested above and I still get the same errors. Thanks for your suggestions. Any other help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Detecting Video Capture Devices without Installing JMF

Hi All,
I want to detect the video capture devices, without installing the JMF.
I had included the jmf (windows version) in lib path in netbeans ide. I am able to detect the audio capture device. But unable to detect the video capture devices. But if I install the JMF, I am able to detect the Video Capture devices in My system. Can anyone help me?
Thanks,
Vinoth Kumar.

YES! Please take a look at SIP Communicator project. They have all what u want.
The main idea is copy all .dll files to System or System32 (Please check files which JMF will copy to ur computer and where).
U need to have jmf.jar and sound.jar too ( maybe more) in your computer.
Your program should have DirectSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundAuto.java, JavaSoundDetector.java, JMFInit.java. Those files are in JMStudio source code. They are used to detect all capture devices and register it to JMF, but wait !!! where they will be saved? In order to save information about capture devices which are detected, you should create "jmf.properties" file in the same location with jmf.jar.Therefore, u should modify the JMFInit.java so it can check if the "jmf.properties" exists. If it's not, you have to create it.
Check SIP Communicator at Folder "media" then "device". They have modified those files I mentioned above and created some new files to SC can detect more devices.
