Review: So Far Working Great with and without OBS - Following August’s video tutorial on YouTube I downloaded the ‘new’ drivers and installed everything quickly and easily. Since then I’ve digitized about 30 VHS tapes without a hitch. I started with the included software which is basic but works fine. Later I started using OBS which is certainly more robust. It took me quite a while to decide on one of these to purchase as the reviews are uniformly bad from the cheapest to the most expensive units. This one seemed to have a higher number of successful users. I watched the August YouTube video they published in May detailing the installation. It was nicely done and featured ‘new’ software. So I figured I could disregard all the older reviews that complained about the software. Also, most said they had success with OBS. With both softwares the video and audio is quite good, not much loss from the VHS tapes. I have encountered one problem though, that occurs every time I shut down the computer. When I open the software (August’s or OBS) it does not connect to the device. I’ve found that all I have to do is unplug the device, and plug it back in. That usually does the trick but sometimes closing the program and reopening it is also needed. In any event, I’ve never failed to get it working in less than a minute’s time. And once up and running it stays connected until the computer is shut down again. OBS has some odd behavior which was noticed by another reviewer. His review helped me figure it out the first time. What happens is sometimes when OBS is opened I will have audio but no video. Other times, video but no audio. Sometimes neither. Here’s what I found works: If no audio, unplug and replug device If no video, go to Video Capture Device/Properties, if checked, uncheck ‘Use Custom Audio Device’ Recheck ‘Use Custom Audio Device’ and make sure correct device is in the pull down below (Analog Audio in (USB 2.0 Video Capture)). Video appears as soon as box is checked. I’m not sure why this works, but it works every time for me. People have mentioned having problems on newer hardware. I’m using an older computer with USB 2.0 ports and haven’t tried it on anything newer.
Review: I recommend that you Download the device drivers instead of using the mini cd. - The device works fine, however, I had problems with my computer with the initial installation. I followed the instructions. I Did NOT PLUG DEVICE I began to install drivers from mini cd. The installation stopped because it could not find the device I plugged in the device and restarted installing the drivers, the installation completed. I installed the software, using licence key from cd case I went to device manager to check that drivers were correctly installed: I was able to capture video from my old Sony 8mm camera to my computer. HOWEVER, WHEN I RESTARTED MY COMPUTER LATER IT WOULD NOT BOOT PAST THE SPLASH SCREEN. After an hour of trouble shooting, clearing the cmos, etc. I decided to unplug all usb devices thinking that the new device drivers were causing the problems. I was now able to boot into Windows 10. I had to uninstall the device drivers in order to boot the computer with usb peripherals connected. I went online and downloaded drivers from their website. I was now able to boot the computer properly and use the device. It captured the video well. The software is great for capture, however, it is limited . I used other software to edit the video and create a dvd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Great with easy Fixes
*by J***H on March 30, 2017*

This was the cheapest one I could fine. Set up was easy, had 2 problems will list it and the fix, I am using windows 10, 64 bit pro Problem 1 1. Driver installation - instructions said to install the driver then plug in the device (this is actually the most common practice on usb devices) but when I tried to install the drivers the program errored out. I then plugged in the device then ran the driver installation, worked like it should 2. Sound/Device in use - A common problem you will first see is an error saying something like "device in use" and people listed fixes but I will explain a real fix and the root cause. When you install the device it uses you sound card, the speakers AND mic. The problem lies in the mic, you windows will switch it to your default mic so the device can't use it to record sound because windows hijacked it. The Fix. Open up sound properties (Right click windows icon) select control panel>Hardware and Sound>sound (or type "sound" in the search. Select the "recording tab" right click on the VGB100 and select "disable" . This will stop windows from using the device gain when you unplug and plug the USB back in. The software with the device is easy to use, the only thing I wish I could do is set a record time. I have started recording a 6hr tape only to forget about it and let it record 18 hours making a 25 gig video file. I easily fixed this but I bet slower computers would have trouble handling that. If you plan on recording something long, set an alarm!
