Questions & Answers

What does the output plug indicate? I can see the input plug, but what does the output plug represent? Do you have a USB port or an Apple Lightning port?

NO WORKS ON NEW THUNDERBOLT 3 PORTS (USB-C Despite the feed looking fine on the TV, it appears to be jittery. The Elgato devices were two different products and the USB 3 devices were three different products. USB-0 to USB-A The video is distorted and jumpy, probably due to the data transmission feeds from a USB 2.0 port and several Type-C adapters (including Apple). I have trouble shot every aspect and have a brand new MacBook Air to play with this. A Thunderbolt port can accept only one device.

Can you tell me what format the converted file is Would you be able to change this to another format The video was in AVI format. Can you provide examples of DVIX, et cetera)?

You can export your video in different formats if you use VirtualDub. In Adobe Premiere, I cut my video into segments without sacrificing quality by exporting the raw video as AVI. It's already a lousy quality on VHS, so I don't want to lose any more by re-releasing it MP4 and H264 files are encoded.

Do I have the capability of transferring my VHS videos to an external hard drive so I can save them all on my Mac instead of using up hard drive space?

If you choose a destination for the recorded videos, the software will allow you to do so. Make sure the drive is connected to the computer when you run the software and select that drive as the In the event of a slow connection (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt), it may take a lot longer than doing it on your local hard disk. A third option is to save one video to your Mac's drive, and then save the next movie to the external HD while you're converting the first. That method would work if that proved to be too slow, and you want to convert a lot of videos at once.

I want to know how long the cable is. ?

It is about 100cm long for the USB cable, with the middle 10 cm long elgato capture thingy. On the other end are short 10+cm cables there are no other cables on this end. I have composite video and audio

Selected User Reviews For Elgato Video Capture - Digitize Video for Mac, PC or iPad (USB 2.0)

Easily converts VHS's and 8mms to digital, so it's a must have for those with old VHSs and 8mms
5/5

To convert 30 VHS tapes that I have from more than 30 years ago, I bought this. The user interface is simple and straightforward. To install the software, I had to download it. So far, I've used five tapes and I've been able to save at high resolution, but I don't know what other devices that are comparable to this one can do For sharing with family and friends, you can take high-resolution images and upload them to YouTube. This would be good if you have old tapes to convert. As I looked online, it looks like the service charge is around $20 per tape to convert. I recently took care of 5 tapes and am already ahead of the game.

Works on Windows 10 but not on Mac OS X Elgato fell for the first time
3/5

The second time. As a tech savvy person, I tried lots of things to get this thing to work but it didn't work (I've tried everything and am still not able to use it). In spite of its insistence that it cannot be recognized, the software persists. I have followed Elgato's help page regarding camera privacy settings in Windows 10 to no avail, as well as uninstalls, restarts, and deleting drivers and letting Windows find them (leads to a page that Elgato's CS lines aren't open during the times I need them to be, so I've contacted them by email. The other 1-based on what we know about it If there are only five star reviews here, there must be work to be done I will be given a warranty refund when I turn around I can put up with this giant waste of time because that makes it CAN YOU tell me where to find the 5-minute tickets What sources do you have for star ratings? Who are these Windows 10 users who use it successfully and on a daily basis? I have searched online for some, but so far I haven't found any, and there is usually one supporter in each group that likes to emphasize how stupid the rest of us is for not finding it. As far as Elgato goes, this is not my first experience with the company. When I bought a game capture device on my old computer, it attempted to crash it on top of the fact that it didn't work As for the other product, it was also rated as phenomenal by Amazon, so I probably should have known better than to trust this high rating. it was my fault for having to learn this lesson twice.
*****WHAT Users encounter some troubles and negatives with this company, but it seems to mask them well. This product's marketing is top-notch, so you'll want to buy it. Please do not do this if you are running Windows 10 It will be a while before you find a piece of writing somewhere that assures Windows users that the latest troubleshooting The company posts help articles that are completely aware don't resolve the issues, and they bug people who write lousy reviews (which I found out based on my previous purchase. I am sure. ) The review is clearly aimed at getting their money back as soon as possible. You should run. This company should be run from as soon as possible. What do you think? Is it a good time to It is true. Do I tend to exaggerate matters because of this? There is no. There is a very small chance that a credible company could fail you twice in only two years through only two product encounters. The company I am working with offers me exactly what I am looking for. I will let you know if I get help and I'll post an update to the review The product must perform as advertised, and a refund is not an option.

Buy this product at your own risk! I recommend that you buy this! This is not a good deal! I recommend that you buy this! HOW DO YOU SAY THAT? I have the tune for you
3/5

This is a great idea that everyone can use. It's been a week since I purchased the Elgato. There is a need to download both the driver and the software, as others have said. As far as I am concerned, I have done It all worked out I downloaded the software smoothly, and I installed it with no problem. The excitement got to me. A picture does not appear on my computer when I fire it up. Even though I did everything I could, nothing would work The video output on the VCR is I could not get anything to work. We had no problems receiving the "audio" A picture would be nice, but there is none. It was EZ Peezy to send it back to Amazon. As a result, they sent a replacement via "Prime. " I thought that 0 (I pay no cost). As soon as I plugged it in, I was able to use it I have the same problem, but I don't have a picture. That's what I said, what's going on! Several people have praised it immensely, while others have described it as a complete waste of time and money. So, you're probably wondering why 1 is the way it is Instead of 5 stars, give it a 3-star rating Here's what I want you to know. It is as simple as that. Computers with specific issues can use it. A Windows computer is in my possession This is a Windows 10 machine with 16 GB of RAM, an I7 processor. This machine seems to be pretty nice. So I went to Youtube and searched for videos. Nothing came up. A reviewer here on Amazon did say he switched machines and mentioned that it was flaky with certain computers - but I couldn't find any other reviewers who said the same thing. The number of 5 is due to this reason As well as 5-star reviews, there are also 1-star reviews Customer reviews are given a star rating. As soon as I switched to my Windows machine, my problem was solved The laptop has a Windows 7 operating system Her eyes grew big as she rose. In every respect, everything went smoothly. The picture looks great, and the sound is great. A solution to this problem must be found by Elgato. That would avoid a lot of returns, I'm certain. I think that's all I have to say. You have to fix your PC instead of your Elgato Capture Device if it won't work. You might want to switch. If your kid has a computer, use it. See if your neighbors can help There is bound to be one that works for you. That's ok, Elgato -- Now is the time to offer your two cents! However, other than that, it is an excellent product. Overall, I give it 5 out of 5 It should be rated as stars (if your computer works).
