Review on I-o DATA GV-USB2 Video Capture Device with USB Connection by Bill Schlag

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stroke of luck! To me it's all Japanese.

The packaging is COMPLETELY in Japanese. Japanese Instruction Manual, Japanese Installation DVD. The children depicted in the black and white instructions for use are Japanese. I'm Mexican and I speak Japanese, no shit, no shit; I might speak a little English but that's all. The device is NOT connected and working. It will NOT work unless you install the drivers on the included DVD. For Installation: The device may or may not be connected to your PC or laptop. Insert CD1. Click on the option on the right.2. Click on option number 1. This will install the drivers. Ready. I use mine with XSplit. Is working! I had a bit of a heavy heart thinking I might have to return it but I'm glad it worked. I think I'm lucky. Once the drivers are installed, you will see them under Sources > Webcam, Capture Card, Video Devices > GV-USB2 Analog Capture. I will be Japanese. I think I'm turning into a Japanese. I guess so. :PS Keep ALL the boxes as they may not fit you and you may have to return them if they are not installed on your PC or laptop. My data: Latest version of XSplit as of December 7th, 2016 -q151la (I know that sucks!) A Windows 10 device was originally designed to connect a VCR and digitize VHS (or beta) movies. So you can use it for that and digitize to XSplit or your favorite streaming/recording software if you want. Have fun and good luck with your Japanese import lol!
