#Diamond video capture vc500 reviews driver
I checked all the possible remedies in the error message with no luck.Īlso when Power Director doesn’t see the driver, the EzGrabber software provided with the VC500 does see the driver and can capture video. However when I select Capture Alt+F9 I get the following error mesaage from Power Director indicating that it dosen't see the capture device. ANy better suggestions.I am attempting to use PowerDirector 365, and VC500 (Diamond Video Capture device) to capture home videos from VHS. I think that my old Roxio Creator will do that. Should I only use a gizmo that can capture to AVI then after editing (I'd probably just want to add titles to various segments) convert to Bluray format (ACHD or Mepg4?-sorry not accurate on these abbreviations.). The Startech has an S-video input, but I'm thinking that the capture rate is low for such a new device.Īnother question is the capture type. Anyone know? Both if these units are USB 3.

Any good? Not sure if the 720 or 1080p HDMI conversion also strectches the video to artifical 16:9 format. for this unit, I wonder if I should by a S-video to HDMI converter. I don't think that it can capture from S-video though. So, if high bitrate is of primary importance, there is a Averamedia unit that says it does up to 60 Mbits a sec! It's rated at 1080p/60. I have a Haupaggue 885 and have capture at CBR 12Mbits and was not impressed. I downloaded their Stream Catcher software, and although I don't have the device, it looked like 8 Mbits was the max capture rate. It should also be noted that you must use USB 3.0 with this controller." At 1080p60 using the HDMI input, I was able to get approximately 1075 Mbits/sec. Using the “Capture AVI” function with VirtualDub, I was able to get uncompressed bitrates of about 160-180 Mbits/sec at 720x567i60.

VirtualDub uses the DirectShow driver that is supported by most capture applications. Īlthough cannot support the use of 3rd party software with our devices, I have tested the USB3HDCAP with VirtualDub ( ). The maximum constant bit rate is 12 Mbits/sec. Variable bitrate at top quality results in about 5 Mbits/sec (static image). "In Stream Catcher (the software included with the USB3HDCAP), there is a selection in settings to change the bitrate from VBR (variable bitrate) to CBR (constant bitrate). I was looking at a Startek and got this info from them when asking about capture bitrate. So knowing that, which would be the best device that you'd recommend? I'll be storing these on my hard drive for viewing on PCs and through Plex on my Roku box. I do not plan to edit these, except for trimming out dead air in the video. Thanks for clarifying those things for me, since I'm new to all this. The Elgato sits here a little better than mpeg-2 whereas mpeg-2 is better for dvd.Īnd it's the bitrate of the capture that matters. Search the forum for devices that capture lossless so you do not lose quality if you intend on editing these captures.Ĥ. The Elgato captures can be used for dvd but you will be re-encoding the video so that means a loss of quality. You need to state your intended final medium. That converts to the more familiar names of Xvid/Divx and AVC

The reason why that device can transfer at a higher rate with a mac is because the end result is a different form of compression h263 as against h264. Methinks your priorities in respect of 'capture bit rate' are wrong. it's mainly for high def signals.) Some have recommended I add a time based corrector so the Hauppauge will work, but those seem to be out of my price range.Īnyone have a recommendation on device would be the best quality vs. (Hauppauge support confirms it can't handle these types of analog signals well. I did buy a used Hauppauge 1212 PVR, but found out it doesn't work well on older analog standard-def signals. By the time I add a good firewire card to my PC, this would likely cost too much. I considered buying a used Canopus ADVC110, but that doesn't support USB. I also considered the Diamond VC500, but they don't list a bit capture rate, and judging from the reviews, it seems like it might be just as low as the Elgato. (The Elgato offers a higher bit rate option if you have a Mac, but not a PC.)

What device below $150 is the best for the money, considering bit rate and video quality, with an S-video input and USB output? I was thinking of getting something like the Elgato Video Capture, but since I have a PC, and it only gives you one option for capture rate on a PC of only 1.4 MBit/sec, I thought I'd try to find something that can record at a higher bit rate. Since I won't use it after that, I don't want to spend a fortune on a video capture device I need to convert about 25 old Hi8 home videos to digital format.
