Review on I-o DATA GV-USB2 Video Capture Device with USB Connection by Jeremy Tyson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for retro PC gaming, bad for HD streaming.

Here are tutorials on how to set up this 'bad boy' to connect retro gaming gear to your computer for streaming. It can be difficult if you are not patient as everything is in Japanese. It's more stable than some of the composite to HDMI converters I've tried, and the video quality was better too. Although I've had the best results with OBS, the video quality wasn't like it would be if you connected your system to a TV. Didn't expect it 100%, but the image quality is still blurry enough not to provide good screenshots for my reviews. Looks like I'll have to pay a decent amount for the quality I'm looking for. In the reply note, I didn't read the policy enough. If you take it and try it, you only get 50% of the price back and you have to pay for shipping back to Japan. This leaves me at best with about 25% of what I paid for it and not worth refunding. Know what's going on. Looks like I'm swallowing money for this bad choice. If you are a casual gamer and just looking for retro PC games because TVs are too rare (sarcasm included) then this article is acceptable. in the best case.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • A few small things
