アイ・オー・データ I-O Data GV-USB2 Video/VHS 0.3 inch (8 mm) DVD Dubbing PC Ingestion Video Capture Japanese Manufacturer

Functionality: 10/10 (works great after you figure out what your doing) Setup difficulty: 4/10 (Instructions and Driver installation setup guide are all in Japanese. The setup is very easy, but can be tedious if you can not read Japanese. If you can not, you'll end up doing what I did and looking up a guide or a video of somebody else going through the installation steps and copying them. I used youtube for this.) Stream/Recording quality: 7/10 (not for HD/newer-gen games, but works great for older games, such as N64, NES, SNES, Ps1, etc...) Durability: ?/10 (Seems fairly durable. The cable itself is fairly short, not reaching very far from where it connects to the computer. But I have only had this for 1 day, and it works great so far. I can't say for sure on the durability of it as of yet, though.) I use the GV-USB2 to stream my console games to Twitch.tv. This particular item does NOT stream in HD, meaning you'll get, at most, a quality of around 480p on your stream. Which isn't the greatest, but its fine. For example, if you stream a game, say Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U, using the GV-USB2, it'll be watchable to an extent but the quality of the video will not be good, to the extent of text on the screen being hard to read by your viewers. However, it does stream flawlessly. Does not lag by any means, and definitely gets the job done. This capture card is GREAT for lower-res games on systems such as the Nintendo 64, Super Nintendo, NES, Ps1, and so on. I particularly plan to use it to stream my journey to learning to speedrun Super Mario 64, and don't think there will be any problems in the future with this capture card. Overall, I really like it. The price is fair (I paid $40 for mine through amazon on 11-12-14) and it works wonders for what its supposed to be for. This is definitely the way to go if you're searching for a capture card for the same reasons as me. Side Note: If you are also planning on speedrunning, like me, the tools found here may be of use to you! [...]

This capture device is the one you want. Don't waste your time with others, they all have one issue or another. Simply put this one works plain and simple. No video issues, no audio issues. rock solid. Pair it up with OBS Studio and your done! Don't be scared because its manual and install disk are in Japanese. Resources are on the web to decipher that and get it installed. Very satisfied with the I-O Data GV-USB2. After wasting time and money with 3 other devices, priced low to high this is a definite winner!

If you’re looking to digitize vhs tapes, this is the cord you’ve been looking for. The japanese software and documentation can be intimidating if you don’t understand the language, but use camera-mode of google translate on your phone and you’ll be able to figure it out. I use windows 11 and the software from their website works fine. 10/10, absolutely worth it.

Using this to capture a VCR output, and it outputs a proper 480i at 29.97fps consistently. The installation isn't difficult, and with OBS it has a decently functional setup program. I would highly recommend not using any of the built in deinterlacing as it nerfs the framerate, when you could get solid 60 fps with OBS's deinterlacer. I give 4 stars because my only real gripe is that the input drops out when there isn't any signal, which is understandable, but for VHS capture if you have a tape that's too damaged it'll blank out for a few frames.

For recording my Turbografx, Genesis ,Super Nintendo, etc, I've tried another low priced usb recorder and it recorded at about 5 seconds per frame (that's not a typo). Most PCI-E capture cards don't have RCA inputs these days. I could not find anything under $150 to record video from RCA input (Composite - yellow for video, red & white for audio), so I took a gamble on this. Just tried it out in OBS Studio and it streams seemingly every frame from my turbografx, nice and smooth, and looks pretty darn good too! This is the one i've been looking for! Records RCA video nicely. You need to be a bit brave to install the drivers. Came with a full sized CD. Run the exe on the CD, then follow the pictures in the manual to decide which buttons to press on the install (all in Chinese). At the first prompt after i started the install, i decided to plug in the device to a usb port. The install software continued, spit the Cd out, then could not find a file so I put the CD back in, hit "OK" (or Chinese equivalent) and it found the file (presumably) and continued, and finished. Then the PC restarted. I said a few prayers and held a seance, PC booted up fine, started OBS Studio, picked the device and smooth video from my turbografx showed up. EXCELLENT. Also, i completely ignored all windows' attempt to install this. I just stuck with the included CD and it worked out well.

I had a feeling that this could be a bad choice, and drivers were possibly a concern. But in the manual that the top critics didn't read, it says EXACTLY how to go through the setup. Super easy, took 5 minutes and then it worked great. Positives: - Great Image Quality (My AVI DVD VHS converter is 720p, but this definitely tops it for efficiency, image quality, control, and audio) - Very easy to setup (All I did is launch OBS after the drivers and it was detected easily with no issues) - 3 2 1 record, no hassle, and I can stop after it's a digital file (All I have to do is let OBS record it, SUPER convenient, with my DVD 720p converter, I had to put it on my laptop, go onto my PC and then yet render it out again, and the space was only a hour, I could do it with 1 go on here compared to that) - All-in-all, this is the most highly rated AVI Capture device on Amazon, it's also the most expensive, but if you don't want a piece of junk that records crap quality, poor audio, and is a buggy mess (My EZCap literally had solder joints break and stopped working), this thing DOES NOT OVERHEAT and start greening like the EZCap as well.) Then, you're in the right place. This capture card is a perfect investment, and I do not regret it AT all, since I am recording VERY long footage and need much more space without buying tons of $20 pack DVDs

functional, easy to set up. windows 10, obs. no complaints.

It's a decent capture device, but wouldn't recommend it outside of the supported systems due to it requiring custom drivers (I'm using it under Linux with unofficial drivers). It also heated up slightly after an extended period of use which might be worth noting.

The GV-USB2 device works well. My usage is to make mp4 copies from PAL recordings on VHS tapes. My first time video editing, trying VirtualDub first. I discovered that I have to change the PAL capture frame rate from 50 to 25fps for deinterlacing to work. Difficulty getting a preview picture on VirtualDub during capture but I think this is because the 8th Gen i5 in my aging laptop is not fast enough. When I did manage to get a preview picture the gui wouldn't let me stop the capture. I'll try the Esc key next time this happens or just find a way to get a picture on a separate display.

It took me a few attempts to get the right equipment to capture my old VHS tapes; I wasted money on adaptors to convert YPbPr to HDMI, PAL to NTSC, and even a digital stabilizer, and this device is an absolute winner! It allows you to manually over-ride the video mode (NTSC, NTSC J, PAL, PAL60, SECAM etc.) which is EXTREMELY helpful on worn out foreign tapes played on a multi-region VCR that would otherwise confuse automated devices. Commercial tapes are recorded without problems. The capture card is made in Taiwan by a Japanese brand, which is a huge plus. It's a quality device that was well thought out. The software came on a disc, and was in Japanese, but getting the drivers to work with OBS was a piece of cake with Google Translate on my phone. My only minor, minor complaint is that the choice of resolutions is a little restrictive. I'd like to have the option to record at higher resolutions, especially when capturing from S-video. If I/O Data ever releases a capture device for YPbPr video signals, I'll be first in line to buy one.

Works well. Tried various solutions. This was the best.
