Anybody used a product to transfer SD video from a camcorder or a VCR?
I'm shopping a small tool to transfer SD video from an old camcorder and a VCR. My laptop doesn't have a firewire slot and I have Windows 7.

Something like these two products:

August VGB100: August VGB100 USB 2.0 Video Capture Device Card - Grabber Lead to Convert VHS / S Video / RGB via USB Transfer Cable - For Windows 8 / 7 / Vista / XP: Amazon.ca: Electronics

Elgato Video Capture: https://www.elgato.com/fr/video/video-capture


I've never bought one of these before. Anyone used such a tool before that worked well?

laptops are under powered for converting video, you need to get a good desktop with like an quadcore i7 processor and at least 16 gigs of memory, then get a decent video capture card from winnov or similar
Videum 1010 Plus - Winnov

you start using those little plug in things and you will dropped frames

we have used winnov products since 1997 for doing live video and encoding video from cameras

Elgato game capture hd works fine. No dropped frames. I see guys record their classic game consoles with it all rhe time without issue. Just dont get the newer hd60, as they've stripped the composite inputs from it.

would it not be cheaper to get a firewire convertor?



ADAPTADOR CONVERSOR IEEE 1394 FIREWIRE HEMBRA 6PIN A USB 2.0 MACHO | eBay


Maybe the easiest option

Seems excellent, but I only have a laptop at the moment.

I'll probably pick a tool from this company. I saw good reviews wherever I checked on their products. Thanks for the info.

I ordered two. Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know these existed. I don't have high hopes in these, so I'll probably order something else, but who knows. I've had good success with similar convertors before.

I don't know if you have an HDMI port on your computer but I use my notebook computer with the Elgato Game Capture HD along with a Mini Composite AV CVBS 3RCA to HDMI Video Converter Adapter 720p 1080p Upscaler. I convert VHS videos (4:3) to 720p (16:9) and never dropped a frame. My notebook computer is an old ThinkPad T410 with a Core i5 processor and Windows 7. Works like a charm.

welcomed, yes, they look handy & good, but as you say, they may not do the job, hope they do, good luck

Can you say "dropped frames"?

I haven't used either of those devices but I have used previous versions of this Pinnacle hardware and had good results.

Laptops can encode simple SD video just fine.
Any of the 2 products the OP posted will work without problems.

A laptop made today is many times more powerful that any of the 120+ encoders we used to encode 65,000 DVD's for VOD sites a few years back...
