Elgato Video Capture Adaptor is rated 3.1 out of 5 by 24.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Lori from Worked great after resolving user error My user error: didnt install driver first. Installed the driver and then the software. Plugged in the VHS player to the appropriate 2.0 USB not SS usb. Made sure the plug the connectors up to the correct VHS side of the player and not the dvd side. :) Program worked perfect! I have a windows 10 system and recorded then played with windows media player or vlc without issue. I would like to see Elgato move forward with this and make sure it works with new windows and mac computers. Upgrade the device to be compatible with 3.0 / SS usb ports. appreciate the friendly support line though! thank you!

Rated 1 out of 5 by Wardie3 from Great looking device, very sad performance. Simple to connect RCA to USB on iMac, but very disappointed with the video output. The captured movies are banded, with blothchy color. Same VHS tape and player performed well on my 32" TV, so it isn't the tape or the VCR causing the problem. I used my iPad to film the TV screen and that worked much better. I also tried using my iPhone to capture the video on the TV screen and that worked marginally better than the iPad. Screenshots of the two movies are attached.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Anonymous from Keep away Purchased to transfer old family VHS videos and the software is problematic. The videos run fine in the viewing window during the recording process, all the way to completion including all audio and video, but I believe something goes wrong during the subsequent file generation process. Any time after roughly 1 hour into viewing to digital output, the audio randomly drops for no reason, video might be randomly cut off, and in one case the entire video speeds up as if it's fast forwarding. No explanation whatsoever. This is happening in multiple video players on both a PC and televisions that accept MP4 files. It is not my PC or the video players. I believe the Elgato software is buggy. I'm forced to split all videos into multiple 45 minute segments and even then the tail end of some videos are disappearing all together when digitized. I regret my purchase and would advise you stay away all together. A waste of both my time and my money.

Rated 1 out of 5 by dhildie from Used to be a great product – but crashes on M1 Mac I used to LOVE this product, but it continually crashes at the VERY END of video transfers. I think this is because the software is no longer compatible with the latest (ie. M1) Macs. I'm providing the crash logs to Elgato in the hopes they will troubleshoot.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Owen6 from Terrible Have to be a sleuth to find the app to download. I connected the device to my VCR and computer via the instructions and installed the required software. When I run the software it just pops up a window that states: "Please connect your Elgato Video Capture hardware to any USB 2.0 port." I tried unplugging the USB cable several times and tried multiple computers with the same results.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Ultrachrome from Best available that we're aware of My company uses these for commercial purposes because it's the most reliable and easiest to use of the many video capture cards we tried. We especially like that it doesn't stop recording if there's a glitch in the tape or loss of control track.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Dube from Output video has many static-like glitches I bought this about a week ago. Setup was easy enough. I tried capture from my 8mm camcorder tapes. The early results showed frequent image scrambling with periods of decent video. The image from the camcorder screen was excellent. I also fed the same video into another video capture device and it did not have this problem so I am convinced that the elgato device is flawed. I tried it on Windows 11 and windows 10 laptops with the same results.
