Review: Simple, Reliable Way to Digitize Old VHS Memories - Simple, Reliable Way to Digitize Old VHS Memories I’ve been looking for a straightforward way to transfer old family VHS tapes into a digital format, and the Diamond Multimedia VC500 delivered exactly what I needed. Setup was painless: plug the USB device into my PC, connect the VCR with the included cables, and install the software. Within minutes I was previewing the footage. The software isn’t flashy, but it’s easy to use and gets the job done. I especially like that I can capture straight to my hard drive or create files ready for burning to DVD. The editing features are basic but useful for trimming out dead space or rewinding past static. The video quality is about as good as VHS gets—grainy in places, but that’s just the source. Audio stayed in sync, which is important. One thing to note: the device works best if your tapes and VCR are in decent condition. If the source material has a lot of tracking issues or damage, no converter will make it perfect. Also, the included cables are a bit short, so you may want to have longer ones on hand depending on your setup. Bottom line: A solid, user-friendly tool for anyone who wants to preserve VHS tapes before they degrade further. It’s not professional studio gear, but for personal archiving and family memories, it works beautifully.
Review: Good Value, Good Performer For Vista - I've been looking for a "cheap" way to get some 17 year-old VHS home videos onto DVD's when I saw this on sale. Given the price,and the complete lack of any detailed specifications for the device, I expected the worst, but got something much better. Installation of the drivers was quick and painless on my Vista machine (AMD 64 X2 Dual Core 3800+ 2.0Ghz, 3GB Ram, Vista 32 Home Premium SP1, NVIDIA GeForce 6150SE) and the 'One-Touch' software worked perfectly. I hooked up my 18-year-old VHS camcorder to the RCA jacks and was immediately rewarded with a live video picture. The "One-Touch Video Capture" software is not compatible with the Vista "Aero" desktop, so Vista turns that off while the software is running. When you exit the program, everything snaps back to normal. Hardly a problem, but it did give me a scare when I first turned it on, the screen flickered and the compatibility warning message popped up. The VC500 offers 8 recording formats, 6 video and 2 audio. They are cryptically identified as DVD, SVCD, VCD, MPG4, AVI, WMV, WMA, and MP3, the last two being the audio formats. I have sucessfully captured video from the VCR using the DVD and VCD formats. The DVD output is MPEG-2 720x480 at a respectable (but not exceptional) 6500kb/s video bit rate and the VCD output is MPEG-1 352x240 at 1150kb/s. I haven't tried the other available formats, since these two are perfectly acceptable for my current purposes. I didn't bother loading the Ulead VideoStudio 10SE that came in the box for 2 reasons. First, there's a suspicious lack of information on what exactly is different between the stand-alone software that they charge $99 for and the crippled "SE" version that they package with other manufacturer's products. Second, there was every indication that the version 10 was written with XP in mind, so getting any kind of support for Vista was doubtful. There is a "Vista Update" for VisualStudio 10 on the Ulead/Corel website, but whether this would be compatible with the SE version wasn't clear. Also, the box the VC500 came in declares Vista compatibility, but the Readme file on the Ulead disk is copyrighted March 2006 and has no mention of Vista. I've been able to produce my DVD's using the Windows Movie Maker and DVD Maker in Vista, so I have no need for the Ulead software. That aside, I would recommend the Diamond One-Touch for quick and easy video capture and I'm very pleased with the ease of use and the quality of the resulting files.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this work with windows 10?**
A: As far as I know it doesn't.  I bought this somewhere else and was even sent a replacement directly from the company itself because the one I had was not working on my Windows 10 computer.  Replacement also had the same issue.  You will hear the audio but will not see any video.  I initially thought it might be a computer issue since it worked on my Windows 7 computer.  I recently got another Windows 10 computer  and when I tried this device on the new computer I was facing the same issue I was facing with my older Windows 10 computer.  So it can be confirmed it does not work in Windows 10.

**Q: Will this work in Linux / ubuntu 14.04**
A: B. Pinker's info worked for me to view video (after some trial and error with numbers in device names) but I was unable to record successfully from VLC. I tried Convert option under Capture Device and also the toolbar record button. My computer may be too slow. I had success with ffmpeg on command line:ffmpeg -f v4l2 -i /dev/video0 -f alsa -i hw:2:0 -target ntsc-dvd ouptutfile.mpg

**Q: Can you transfer from VHS to a computer file, such as MP4?**
A: I use Windows 10 and using the EZGrabber, which is included on the CD with this package, it saves to the computer as AVI automatically. I don't remember seeing a choice for MP4.

**Q: When I try to load Ezgrabber, I get a message that says, RoxioCinePlayer can not be found, try again using a valid copy of rhe RoxioCinePlayer installation package, "CPDP ". My question is, where can I find a valid copy of the Roxio
CinePlayer installation package, "CPDP"? I am using Windows 7 64 bit.
Any advice will b…**
A: It's been a few months since I did the installation, but your problem rings a bell. I'm on a Windows 7 system (and yes, the tool is called EZGrabber on mine as well). I ran into some problems that seemed to stem from the installation software expecting to go onto a system running XP. My solution: instead of using the product installation software, I just went into each individual folder on the CD and clicked on the .exe files. Although it took a few extra clicks, everything installed without a problem, and it all seems to be playing nicely. I hope that helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works OK for VHS tapes on Laptop w/ Windows Vista, but USB connector is cheaply made
*by G***B on February 24, 2012*

Feb 20, 2012 Got this within five days of ordering. So far (9 VHS tapes) it works great. After looking at the reviews I wasn't sure this would work on my four year old laptop (HP Pavilion 4GB mem, 300 Gb Hard Dr, AMD Turion-X2 proc, Windows Vista) but it does. At first I noticed some lag in the sound and video and my processor was running at 100% running the EZGrabber software, but after I shutdown all the other processes that were running in the background( AVG anti-virus, windows security, Norton Ghost, Lexmark printer monitor, etc.)it performs great. Processor runs now at 62% running EZGrabber. However, you MUST follow the connection and start up procedures that are explained in a previous review (by someone else -- who did a very good job of explaining the sequence of each step by step) If you don't, you WILL get the blue screen with nothing showing. I got this at first and thought -- oh _ _ _ _ this is not going to work and I have the same problems that I read about in some of the reviews. After re-doing each step, I got it to work fine. I only loaded the drivers and the EZGrabber software from the enclosed disk. I already have Windows Movie Maker and Windows DVD Maker so I didn't want the video editing software -- from the reviews it sounded like its not too great anyway. I didn't load the streaming software either. It takes about two hours to do a 60 min VHS tape -- one hour to play and load the original 60 min tape, and another hour to edit and burn a DVD. EZGrabber will create about a 2.5GB file (from a 60 min VHS tape) which I then delete after the DVD is produced. Everytime you click the record button EZGrabber starts a new file. This makes it easy to split up a tape into smaller sections, edit out the parts or sections you don't want and then use the video editer to put it all back together again to burn a DVD. I have lots of tapes of family activities that I split up like this so I can rearrange the sequence and put it back together so it makes better viewing. Windows Movie Maker is a pretty good video editor, but takes a lot of my processor power to run. Video and sound quality is good -- considering I'm creating from old VHS tapes. However, there IS a slight delay in the sound vs video -- maybe a 1/4 sec delay. I dont find this objectionable, my DirectTV sat. signal does the same thing. I tweaked the EZGrabber settings to increase the color saturation a little. This seems to make the color intensity better bacause of the quality of the old VHS tapes. Also remember to check ALL your settings on EZGbrabber everytime you use it because when you re-start EZGrabber it forgets your previous settings. * * * * * * Change Rewiew * * * * * * Mar 11, 2012 I am changing this review because after converting 7 more hours of VHS tapes I experienced the same troubles that are posted on other reviews -- that is, a loud horrible scratchy noise that EZGrabber is introducing while converting tapes. Again I thought I would have to return this purchase to Amazon but I discovered that the problem is the USB connector. Apparently the USB connector on the One-Touch Video Capture device is pretty cheaply made. If I juggle it and play around with it where it connects to my laptop, I can get the loud scratchy noise to quit. This happen regardless of which USB port on the laptop I use. So, Im still using it to convert my tapes. I just have to be careful with the connector. If it gets really bad I guess I will have to cut it open and re-soulder the wires.
