For now, works perfectly to scan camcorder tapes from a VCR. As my computer has no CD player, I first put the CD in another computer, then copy and paste the driver installation files and software on a USB stick to install on my computer (Win 8.1 ). I do not use the s-video cable (black) but only the white, yellow and red are female like VCRs. So you need a male-male cable between the magneto and this acquisition key. Then, do not hesitate to try several outputs. For example, when installing I first wanted to test with the TV, and nothing to do with the white-yellow-red output of the front which nevertheless serve to the Wii, the signal does not pass, then I tried the back a DVD player / recorder, it worked. I then tried on the white-yellow-red out of the front of a magneto, nothing. On the back of the same magneto, it works. On the back of a second magneto, it works too. Level rendering, it is difficult to estimate, I can not put 2 TV one next to the other to compare original and scanned cassette via HDMI but it sounds good. With you to test and return if not satisfied. 30min on a cassette, so you have 30 minutes to scan and then about another 30 minutes to set mp4 during which I do not think you can run another scan. So 1h 30min incompressible for a cassette, 1:30 for a 45. Size of the final file to mp4: 2GB for 30min.
I create a file per tape so the steps: 0) Software installation and driver 1) connect the key to the recorder and a USB port on the computer 2) Capture software menu (usually by putting reading on the magneto, the image and sound automatically in to the computer room for the webcam image and microphone sound). In the Device Settings, I put everything by default. 3) Click Capture to start scanning (there must first be read on the magneto for the signal is received by the computer and it can capture, so you have to press play and then pounce on the computer for click Capture) 4) Once the scan is complete, Edit tab, I set the sequence captured in the band down. 5) Create tab> Create a file by choosing the location where the file should be saved.
