None have any manufacturer support, not even a link to update drivers if those provided are incompatible with the operating system in use. Others have defective drivers that prevent audio capture from working. Some of the fake Eas圜ap devices don't include chips with the ability to capture audio and depend upon connecting the audio cable to the PCs sound card. There are several different products sold as Eas圜aps. Assuming you are not another idiot troll digging up old threads trying to pick a fight. Get another device and stop wasting your time. The audio problem you describe is common.

The cheap easycap devices sold online are rubbish as is the capture software provided with them. Unfortunately, the O/P doesn't have that Line In option, but nevertheless will have better overall results with a real regardless. Yes, there are sync issues, but they are a linear shift and can easily be adjusted during edits, which is something most people have to do anyway after VHS captures. Laptops were made for convenience (space, mobility, etc) and lighter tasks (emails, presentations, photo viewing, etc), not for heavy lifting.Īs for audio, I personally capture directly through the Line In regardless. There are many things that could go wrong with a capture in progress when this happens. What will happen, even if the laptop has enough horsepower as per the specs on paper, is that the processor will slow down at some point - as a fire hazard prevention - and this will screw up your captures with bad quality such as dropped frames, sync issues, bad multiplexes from an overwhelmed backed up buffer, etc. A laptop case is not designed to keep a processor from overheating from CPU intensive tasks like encoding, gaming, etc, INCLUDING capturing. But even so, another important issue is cooling.
Support the authors of it who got ripped off over the years from those scam artists among the plethora of "The Masses of the Great Unwashed".Īs for capture on laptops, I agree that they can be low in specs, and lack that vital second internal hard drive so valuable for capturing. The extra few bucks it costs is worth much more in product value. The architecture of the is similar to the ATI 600 USB, and its quality is similar too.ĭon't get a fake one when the good one is already very affordable and available. And I recommend it in many ways over the ATI 600 USB because the is still a current product, still supported under modern systems, and has an active forum for it. I can even dare to compare it to the ATI 600 USB. I will also point out that I have one, and it works very well, including with VirtualDub and lossless formats. The only "real" one, with a similar name, is the one found at, as Hech54 mentioned. I wouldn't be surprised if they damage your computer in some way too.
Even if you do get it to "work", it will likely be bad quality, and will invite more problems in the future. They are not well made, and the software is, likely, pirated old versions of apps that even the authors themselves no longer support. I will also be supportive of comments against the fakes, whatever they call themselves (ex: "(Sl)eazy c(r)ap").
