Hauppauge1341 USB-Live2: Capture, display and record old VHS tapes to your PC or Laptop, Black

Got this to replace a Dazzle DVC100 video capture because it wouldn't work on Windows 7, and this product really does the trick. The install of the WinTV product was fine (check the site for updates though), as was the also-bundled ArcSoft Showbiz video-editing software.I use WinTV for capture, and it produces great quality standard-definition captures for use elsewhere, and that's all I wanted from it.I have a few niggles, but I didn't down-star the product because I can live with them...First, when recording from some composite video source with WinTV, you can't put a duration in which means you have to stop recording manually. I wrote a little DOS batch job that counts down a duration and stops the Windows service "HauppaugeTVServer", and that sorted that out (comment-me your e-mail address if you would like this code).Second, the ShowBiz video-editing software (which can also record from the card) refuses to produce a widescreen 16:9 capture. I'm only a bit bothered because this software DOES have a duration feature so it'd be useful; I'm talking to their support to resolve this at the mo...Thirdly, it would have been nice if the product had used H264 in its recording, since you can get a heck of a lot more on a DVD (for example), if that's your thing. I think the more-expensive Hauppauge offerings do this, so I'll not hold it against this product.So, that's it. Great value, and works fine within its specification.

pictures seems good when transfering vhs videos to pc,no dropped frames or pc crashing.

I got this for Let's Play console capture with the PS2 and Wii (mainly PS2), and, for the PS2 capture, it's perfectly fine for 480, borderline 720 footage (Actual capture is 720x576). Frame-rate's good, didn't see any blending or ghosting, and all in all, extremely happy with this! The compact design is also a plus, although it does need a USB extender unless you like keeping your consoles close to your recording desktop/laptop.The software that comes with it, ArcSoft Showbiz, can capture PS2 footage with no lag, which really helps cut out the middlemen, wiring wise, and is easy to use, although its editing options aren't that great. But considering I got this card and its software for capturing, not editing? Great!

Wanted to digitise some HI8 tapes, bought this as a replacement for a cheap £15 capture card that left the feed in a flickery, black and white mess.Still flickery in parts, which it seems can't be fixed without a device that can do timebase correction - but miles better than the other no-name one I bought, and for such a low cost I couldn't be happier. Would definitely buy again.I was skeptical of the software included, usually proprietary software for devices like these are not even worth installing - but after a lot of fiddling with OBS and Streamlabs to little success, I gave in and installed Hauppage Capture and found it not only did the job but did it cleanly and easily, even on Windows 10 it worked without having to fiddle and had surprising amount of customisation. Excellent product all around.

Excellent product, works perfect on Windows 10 as of June 2018. Software easy to download and install. Simple interface makes it easy to use. Product comes with two software programs. I mainly used the WinTV (as opposed to Hauppauge capture) as I was not interested in uploading the videos to YouTube but it also works fine. One thing to note is not all VCRs have male composite connectors (this product is USB to female composite) I used a SCART to composite convertor that I had in the house and it worked perfectly. Would definitely recommend if you want to back up your old VCRs

It just worked. Picture quality was good and the software easy to use. The only gripe was there was no option to select a fixed frame rate so I had to run all the videos through handbrake before I could edit them.

Rubbishwe Have bought three of these and they have all failed and are being returned for a refund. will try and find another solution

Lose 2 stars because its not compatible with the current sdk, taking snapshots cannot be automated and you can't view images via Extend whilst recording. Otherwise, this device works reliably with wintv7 3.7 (vista 32bit) and Extend and appears to be suitable for cctv cameras up to 600tvl. It can be used with the included wintv7rec.exe for command line or batch file use and for automatic image recording using windows task scheduler (as well as WinTV). Haven't tried the s-video or audio inputs.

Recently converted around 13 old VHS-C and Hi8 tapes to my PC using this converter. The converter itself is nothing else but great! However, the software is horrible (my opinion).I used this converter with Open Broadcast Software (OBS) software wich is a free to download, aswell to get the files to .mp4 and it has been running flawless.Hardware 5/5: No complaints. Would however be nice if RCA male - male was included.Software 2/5: It works with their own software, but it will give you very large files, and a not so common filetype wich wont be playable in some devices.

Je ne me sers pas du logiciel fourni, donc je ne saurais pas donner d'avis dessus (de toute façon il n'est pas dispo sur Linux).Cependant, je peux vous dire qu'elle fonctionne sans problème, sans installation sous Linux (testé sur Debian 12 et Ubuntu).La carte permet de capturer le flux brut (c'est à dire entrelacé, sans compression).fonctionne parfaitement avec ffmpeg pour capturer !Pour info j'ai reçu la Rev. C1Avec un TBC (time base corrector) l'image est très stable pour numériser des VHS

He dado muchas vueltas para lograr instalarlo en mi Windows 10 y al final lo conseguí. Primero hay que descargar e instalar el driver que se llama Hauppauge Capture for USB-Live2 (version 40257) que se encuentra en la web oficial de Hauppauge, una vez instalado conectando la capturadora a un puerto USB 2.0 (aunque dice que también vale en USB 3.0) hay que instalar otro programa, el WinTV v10 (versión 40287) que sirve para sintonizar y grabar a ordenador...Con esto ya podrás aplicar el número de serie que viene escrito en un papel dentro de la caja de tu aparato y funciona perfectamente tanto como video compuesto como por S-Video.Para pasar de vídeos VHS, Beta o cámara antigua de cinta este programa es lo más ideal para hacerlo, hace poco había comprado otro aparato de solo 13 euros y nuevo de paquete, pero su capturadora es un auténtico desastre ya que si la cinta de VHS no está en buenas condiciones, se distorsiona los colores o algo peor...El WinTV USB-Live 2 es lo más adecuado para esta función de pasar viejas cintas a ordenador a pesar de que es complicado instalarlo en un Windows 10, pero tiene que ser con los drivers más recientes que existan.

ne avevo già preso uno e poi l'ho ricomprato per darlo ad un mio amico. qualità ovviamente da video composito, molto semplice da installare e configurare con il suo dvd e la sua applicazione, funziona bene anche con programmi quali vlc o vmix.

Captura como esperaba. Aguanta bastante bien los sincros un poco deteriorados de las cintas analógicas. Al menos mejor que la easycrap.
