Review on πŸŽ₯ StarTech.com USB Video Recorder - HDMI Capture Card - 1080p - 60fps - HDMI DVI VGA (USB3HDCAP) Black by Christopher Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works but requires unofficial drivers and ONLY for Windows 7.

Well the picture quality is excellent and the input selection is perfect. Sounds great right? The catch is that the official driver software doesn't work on modern computers and if you google for custom drivers (from Micomsoft) they are user created and often fail. It works on Windows 10, but I kept getting BSODs even after removing everything. It doesn't do this on Windows 7 and is more stable. I strongly recommend backing up your data and creating multiple restore points before risking installing drivers. Another issue is that the drivers are responsible for the input configuration options menu and it just doesn't show up a couple of times. You must restart your computer and try again. When running it works fine, but it's difficult to run and see this menu. Therefore I cannot recommend it. This was probably a good choice a few years ago, but not worth it unless you have a lot of patience and an old Windows 7 computer.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Not fancy
