I would love a way to also capture in a lossless format for experimental video production

This is the easiest way to convert VCR tapes and DVD disks to an MP4 movie digital file.

Great way to get all home movies onto DVD!

Way easier than messing around with cards and PCs.

Only caveat is that if you try to do other work on your computer, such as modify documents or upload/download files while the device is converting a video signal, static noise can work its way into the recording

Great way to confer my treasured, irreplaceable videos to electronic format.

Super easy way to convert video.

It is somewhat time consuming as it records in real time, but for the price, an economical way to convert videos.

This is a virtually effortless and inexpensive way to solve a concern about losing all of our memories

Can't compliment the software enough and the quickest way to transfer

Not that it's all that expensive but for anyone wondering about it, if you have a dozen 2 hr video tapes to transfer, this is the way to go.

If your original video is composed of parts you want to separate, Movie Maker offers an easy way to do so

There may be better ways that take up more space on your machine, but in my opinion you can't get better quality than what you started with

What a great way to transfer your VHS taps

This is a GREAT way to bring back those old 80's and 90's moments to life.

This is an easy way to save a clip here and there, but I'll be looking for another method to convert all of our home movie videos.

No delay that way

Great easy way to convert my VCR tapes .

I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an easy way to transfer their old videos.

Elgato Video Capture has an easy way to trim garbage off the beginning and end.

I'm giving it 2 stars since I don't know if there was an incompatibility or if the unit maybe had a defect, either way it should have worked.

it turns out the video files were corrupt in a weird way.

This is a great way to get your old VHS tapes, Cassette recordings, or you old albums onto your computer

What a wonderful way to reclaim video to digital...and very easy to use.

I needed a fast way to transfer my VHS high school video yearbook to digital.

Easy way to transfer old videos

This is probably down to my expectations, but one serious limitation prevented me from using this the way I wanted to: it's not identifiable as a capture source in OS X. Adobe Premiere, Elgato's own HD capture solution, Camtasia, and Photobooth all failed to see the device as a video source

I have been trying to find an easy and inexpensive way to transfer many hours of old VHS home videos over to digital media for several years, after a couple of failed attempts I finally decided to just wait for technology to advance and a proven device was developed

I haven't found any good ways to fix that

A nice way to finally convert some old home videos from analog sources to something more modern.

Only caveat is that if you try to do other work on your computer, such as modify documents or upload/download files while the device is converting a video signal, static noise can work its way into the recording

The software also lets you upload video clips directly into youtube which is a nice easy way to share short clips.

Very easy way to capture video from VHS or camcorder tapes to a digital file.

Way overpriced for a cable that competes with the $10 video capture cables.

I wish there was an easier way as opposed to having to record at real time, but I think it's not going to happen

You can watch it playing on you computer screen as well as in the play back screen on you camcorder.

Does not sync the picture as well as it should.

Worked great with an old VHS and laptop, as well as with an old camcorder

Works as

So many of these sorts of devices DON'T work as

I was so skeptical when I ordered this, but it works exactly as I'd hoped it would, and has allowed me to pull many hours of VHS video onto my hard drive to keep forever.

I have had this for almost four years, and it still works as great as it did when I first got it

I am converting all my old Sony HD video tape family movies over to digital on my Mac computer and using iMovie and it works as if it were made for it.

Works exactly as it's supposed to.

Worked exactly as it said it would.

It took me a while to get the software downloaded and the product working as it should.

The device works as it is advertised but it isn't perfect

I had to supply my own cabling between the elgato and my VHS player as well as between the elgato and my min DV camcorder
