Type of review

On an old laptop with Windows 7, I also managed to start by installing the old x32 driver and OBS Studio for x32. I will recommend to friends - they will cope if necessary. Has pros: The result with 20-year-old VHS tapes is tolerable. I digitized the VHS cassettes, but . Its cons: . had to 1. install OBS studio, due to misunderstandings with the installation of the PowerDirector native software license; AverMedia answered the question in a week, sent the actual key. 2. Earned the old driver of…

Just a terrible product, very upset.

Do not take. And if you really need to record, you can buy a bandic, for example, for 999, there is at least 1080p, but. And I bought this AVerMedia Technologies DVD EZMaker 7 and threw it away. Pros: NOTHING! IF YOU BUY THEN AVerMedia Technologies live gamer portable With its cons: For this price even HD is not present. So I have been using AVerMedia Technologies live gamer portable for a year now and I have 120 fps and 1080p, that is, Full HD. HORROR.

Good product for me, I was satisfied with the price.

The quality of the picture is not much better than the same Rombica, it distorts the VHS picture in the same way by twisting it somewhere to the left, but this is all corrected by connecting to a DVD recorder, otherwise it’s generally better than any options with Ali, but somehow too expensive .

Pros
  • Of the specifically noticeable ones, these are the drivers, installed, immediately works with a bang, without any bugs and glitches like in Rombica Pro Studio.
Cons
  • Very thin connection wires, for comparison, for the same whistles with Ali, they are twice as thick, but what’s there, for the same whistle from Rombica, they are as thick as for the variants with Ali, somehow not worthy for 6 thousand That. In fact, what for is the unnecessary software that comes with the kit and for which you probably pay about half of the cost, I basically don’t need it, and if I needed it, I could download it anyway.

I am delighted, the product is really worthy.

A few years ago I used another product with USB and a remote control from this manufacturer, but the price was much higher.

Pros
  • Compactness and in the kit there is everything to digitize analog video cassettes and burn them to DVD discs. There is an instruction in 2022. Like the price, quality and compactness. Nothing extra.
Cons
  • Until I noticed.

It was a reasonable purchase, will order more.

It was not possible to compare the quality of digitization with other devices in this category, but the market is quite niche. Under macOS only this product, in fact, under Windows in usb format there are not too many options either. There are better ones, judging by the reviews on youtube, but for vhs it's not particularly critical, in my opinion. As I understand it, most of the "faints" on this topic use old pci-cards and WinXP for digitization, with the quality of which no usb-stick has yet…

Pros
  • Unlike Chinese clones a la EasyCap, it works out of the box. High quality body materials. It seems like the presence of support from the developer.
Cons
  • There was a Chinese clone of EasyCap - under macOS it didn’t start at all, under Win7 it didn’t start at all through the virtualDub mod, only sound started through Debut Video Recorder. The same device under Win7 took off immediately, moreover, both in virtualDub and in Debut. I am sure that in all similar applications there will be a similar situation. Under macOS, it also worked without problems, but only on native software. iMovie refused to identify it as a source. And, in fact, the drawback itself is that support ends on macOS Sierra. There are no drivers for High Sierra and especially Mojave. Developers have been feeding the "next quarter" for half a year now. I don’t know what’s wrong with Win10, I haven’t tried it, but formally there is support in the drivers.

There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

This device has a huge disadvantage. When capturing video, through any program, the image at the top of the screen leads to the left. That is, this device gives distortion. Also, if there are some artifacts on the VHS cassette, in some places, on the video, then the device cannot hold a stable video signal and the image starts to twitch in different directions. Apparently this is the problem with all external USB devices of this type, regardless of the price category. Before that, I had a cheap

Pros
  • Convenient to connect. Can be put away in drawer when not needed.
Cons
  • Distorts the image. Does not pick up signal from game consoles, DVD players, etc.

Unsuccessful purchase, I am disappointed.

When buying this device, I thought that I was getting a high-quality solution for digitizing cassettes, but I got some kind of garbage. Nevertheless. You can digitize high-quality cassettes with this thing, but only if you have a digital video switcher with TVS. I pass the signal through Panasonic WJ-AVE5. The picture does not float, there are no spots. But this is an extra cost. Given the current price of this device (about 7k), I would not recommend it for purchase. Get a better tuner on a…

Pros
  • + Compactness + Low system requirements + Virtually no out of sync The good news is that even if the source of the signal with "torn" sync pulses (an old VHS cassette, rewritten and chewed a hundred times (I'm exaggerating :)), then this thing replaces the lost frame with a blue screen. Although this does not give us much, because his flaws are steeper.
Cons
  • The software is just awful. This thing is only supported by PowerDirector. In Daba, it seems to work somehow, but it gives a disgusting picture. If you digitalize directly from VHS, then color distortion is inevitable. There are green, purple spots on the floor of the screen, even on a good video recorder. Hong Konganent line shift. The image above "floats".

Magic device. Easily converts cassettes to digital form. Connect the output of the VCR (camcorder) to the device through the tulip wires and plug it into the USB port. Quality? Same as on film. Maybe where the colors jump, but so what? It's VHS. To work, you need to install a driver and a special program PowerProducer. They come in a set. Serial number for the program on disk. You can capture video in two modes: simple and advanced. In simple mode, a file is created and it is immediately…

Pros
  • Ease of use and setup. Does his job.
Cons
  • It takes a little getting used to the program.

I like the product, the quality did not disappoint.

I immediately downloaded the driver from the site, because after reading the comments here I realized that it will not work with windows 8.1 if you install firewood from the attached disk. Software tried ULEAD VideoStudio DVD, AVerMedia did not see. The 11th version of CyberLink PowerDirector didn't work either. Put 12 and everything worked. Its pros: First of all, what works. Relatively low price. Together with delivery I paid 3740. Easy installation. Some cons: The quality is of course the…

I want my money back! Disgusting product and poor quality.

Is there any way to make the Cyberlink power director software capture mono audio? Does Rombica also have a maximum device resolution of 720*480? If you want to capture 50 fields per second from VHS, should the device resolution be set to 720*288 or 720*480? Will the quality of the capture be better if the video is first routed from VHS to a modern TV over a composite cable, and the video is captured from the TV over an S-Video cable?

Pros
  • There is a USB extension. Cyberlink power director 14 DE licensed software.
Cons
  • The brief instructions say that there should be not only Cyberlink power director software, but also Cyberlink power producer software, but it is nowhere to be found, neither on the site, nor in the kit. The full manual generally describes only the AVerStudio software, which is nowhere to be found, either on the site or in the kit. The Cyberlink power director software intermittently gives an error that the device was disconnected, however, it was not disconnected. Cyberlink power director software shows that the maximum resolution of the device is 720*480. It is not possible to select a device resolution of 720*576. There is no way to capture only mono sound (after all, 95% of VCRs and VHS cameras are mono!), it captures only stereo, while the right channel remains silent, that is, during playback, the sound will be only in the left dynamo, and there will be no sound in the right. Moreover, this device is three times more expensive than Rombica Pro Studio!

included is the program CyberLink Media Suite 10 in English. When creating a custom MPEG-2 format, the program does not want to work. Now I mainly work in Coler and Nero. When capturing video, the video quality is much better than when capturing from a TV tuner. I use mainly for digitizing cassettes from analog cameras. I capture an analog video signal from a TV tuner, while there is no difference in the quality of the recording.

Pros
  • I saw and bought. The thing is good, no freezes. Works with a bang.
Cons
  • After installing the drivers for AVerMedia Technologies DVD EZMaker 7, the TV tuner disappeared from the device manager. I have to remove and re-insert the TV tuner every time

Bad product, not worth the money.

Since the quality of digitization did not suit me, I took the Canopus advc-110 device instead, where the quality of digitization is really good: there is no flickering of colors, the image is stable, it does not throw out frames. They write incorrectly about cropping the edges of the frame: in fact, when capturing, the overscan mode is usually used, in which the frame from the film is captured completely, incl. with black edges. This can be seen if we compare the video when viewing the cassette

Pros
  • Compatible with Windows 10.
Cons
  • The quality of converting VHS cassettes to digital is very mediocre: colors flicker green-violet, the edges of moving objects in the frame twitch, often throws out frames. At the same time, the cost is not at all low, there are simply few good analogues, because. the topic of digitizing cassettes ceased to be popular about 10 years ago.

Easy to use, cheap compared to if you take it to a company to overtake a 3 hour cassette of 4.5 thousand. Even any student can handle this one - convenient - without a headache China RULES in full!+10 We still have not been able to make a good video recorder in 2022 . Different pros: I read all the reviews here and decided to buy! My records on VHS are over 25 years old, 30 cassettes were lying far away on a shelf in a place with a VCR that was younger than 12 years old. I decided to buy…

There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

Driver: There was a sticker on the box with the device, which is compatible with Win8. However, there was no driver for this OS on the disk. I downloaded from the manufacturer's website, everything got up without problems. Bundled software: in principle, I liked the kit from CyberLink. Perhaps I have not seen anything better, but for amateur tasks it is enough. Now the piece of iron itself: everything would be fine, but two points disappointed. Firstly, I didn't want to work with Aimersoft…

Pros
  • Compact, easy to connect
Cons
  • Lost synchronization on dynamic scenes. Doesn't work with all programs.

Good if you can get it working

The Aver EZmaker 7 was delivered this morning. After 6 hours of inactivity I was finally able to transfer one of my home videos to a file that I can read on my Windows 10 PC. I have the following problems: 1. The documentation that comes with this product is very limited, so it's better if you have a good idea of how your computer works. If you're lucky, the software will install correctly. This was not the case for me.2. Installing Aver EZmaker 7 Driver It didn't work the first time so I…

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Record videos in the media pack, then edit files in Adobe Premiere!

YES! Finally there's a way to get footage from a stinky VCR to DVD. I tried using two VCR/DVD-R combos and each had its own problems. Needless to say I was frustrated, read the good reviews about it, hit the $40 deduction and am very happy. This thing installed like a charm on Windows 7. As with everything else, install the driver first. Then when you connect it via USB, the computer will recognize it. Then I installed the software package. Here he loses a star. It's a clean interface that…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Almost never

Works well on Mac but has some rough edges

This actually works as advertised on the Mac and the video quality of the finished transfer was as good as the original VHS tape. It also has software specially designed to transfer data to Mac. This isn't as necessary as in Windows since you can only do it with the broadcast hardware and various applications that are already widely used in the Mac video world. However, the included "Aver Studio" app makes it so easy that even a person with no equipment can do it. You'll go through a few basic…

  • Quick Replace
