What Others Say
An Unexpected Gem
I bought this video capture unit with very low expectations...I mean, what would you expect for $35? But it blew me away! I am so happy with how well it works that I had to write a review on Amazon, which I hardly EVER do! It couldn't be any easier to use...just plug S-video or RCA video cable from your VCR or DVD player into the Diamond device, plug it into a USB port, and start recording.
The included video capture software has a lot of flexibility, allowing you to determine the quality of the digital recording (and thus, the file size), as well as the ability to "fix" problems with the input. For instance, I bought this device specifically to digitize old VHS tapes -- some of which go back to the late 80's. Needless to say, ... Read More
Good Product -- NO Vista X64 Support
Products works as advertised except I have failed to get it to work with Vista 64 bit.
I never even installed the driver on the disk included but instead got the x64 driver off their website. The device shows up as installed and running in device manager but will never initialize when their software loads. Nothing on their site references the errors I recieve.
I put the same device on my 32 bit version of Vista and it runs fine.
Device has a smooth frame rate and the software included is easy to use.
Easy to set up
Very easy to install the software and use the device. Worked fine with an older VCR. Very user-friendly - easy to understand how to set up preferences and settings. Performed exactly as described.
works perfectly
When I read the reviews I wasn't hopeful that this item would work, but some reviewers said that it worked as I needed it to, so I gave it a try. It was just what I needed. I can now show VHS and DVD through my computer to a mounted LCD projector. Easy to set up and very much worth the price.Diamond VC500 One Touch Video Capture Device
Returned TWO of these as DEFECTIVE
I bought the first one and could not understand why it would not work. The video playing on my camcorder would not display on my computer screen at all. I Called the manufacturer, and they said if I am not getting a blinking green light when I press the record button, then my device is defective. I sent it back to Amazon. Seeing the high marks this item has gotten, I decided to try again. I ordered a second one. Same thing on this one. I called the manufacturer again. I sat on hold for 22 minutes trying to get through to Diamond. Finally started speaking to a human and I accidently hung up on us. Called back, waited on hold 29 minutes this time. Basically the same conversation. No blinking light, defective device. I cannot understand ... Read More
