Review: Cheap and Effective on Linux with ffmpeg - Product Details: The Color packaging was labeled as: Video DVR Model No.:DC60 A white sicker on the packaging says:: X00430RLND UCEC RCA to USB... Made in China-10-17 I am using this product on an ubuntu linux distrobution: The first thing I tried was to capture using vlc: Media -> Open Capture Device Video device name: /dev/video1 Audio device name: hw:1,0 Video standard: NTSC I eventually got this to work but I found it unreliable. (Your mileage may vary.) It was, however, a simple way to identify the audio and video device names. I prefer ffmpeg batch mode, so after, hours of trial and error, I decided on the below ffmpeg coomand: ffmpeg -f alsa -i hw:1,0 -acodec aac -ac 2 -f v4l2 -i /dev/video1 -vcodec libx264 -r 60 my_movie.mp4 Important: 1. replace hw:1,0 with your own linux alsa audio device specification. 2. replace /dev/video1 with your own video device name. The above will start recording when you enter the command. When done type Ctrl-C to finalize the output file and exit gracefully. note: The above does NOT enable you to watch the video while it is being recorded. I wasted a bunch of time before realizing that that was not necessary. note: alsa stands for Advanced Linux Sound Architecture note: v4l2 stands for Video for Linux 2 Linux will name the devices as they are plugged in. The video devices increment like: /dev/video0 /dev/video1 /dev/video2 ... The audio devices increment like: hw:0,0 hw:1,0 hw:2,0 ... ASSIDE: The audio device syntax is hw:cardNumber,deviceNumber (counting starts from zero) e.g. hw:0,0 means 1st card 1st device in card e.g. hw:1,0 means 2nd card 1st device in card (a complex card can have many devices but this has only 1) Suggestion: Use trial and error, making short recordings until you find ffmpeg settings that work. You will need to install ffmpeg and other requirements before you try this. (the usually linux stuff) e.g. sudo apt-get install ffmpeg e.g. sudo apt-get install v4l-utils ------ ------ Further Gory Details you probably do not care about ------ Other ways to identify the USB audio and video device designations -------- hint: Use /bin/ls to list devices before and after plugging in your card. (my example after plugging is below) ls -l /dev/v4l/by-id/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 23 18:59 /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-Generic_HD_WebCam_200901010001-video-index0 -> ../../video0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 24 02:36 /dev/v4l/by-id/usb-MACROSILICON_AV_TO_USB2.0_20200909-video-index0 -> ../../video1 ls -l /dev/snd/by-id/* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Dec 24 02:36 /dev/snd/by-id/usb-MACROSILICON_AV_TO_USB2.0_20200909-02 -> ../controlC1 The above is a good way to find the name of your video device. As you can see above my MACROSILICON is currently the video1 device on my laptop. The audio designations are a bit trickier because they uaes alsa nomenclature. (alsa => Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) I used the arecord utilty to list audio devices both before and after install. arecord -l **** List of CAPTURE Hardware Devices **** card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC255 Analog [ALC255 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: MS210x [MS210x], device 0: USB Audio [USB Audio] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Notice card 1: above, this showed up only after pluggin in the vido capture device into the usb port, so from that I can tell it is card 1: device 0: which gets the ffmpeg designation of: hw:1,0 You can get even more geeky information by experimenting with lsusb as follows: lsusb Running lsusb as above before and after plugging will help you identify the ID. (mine was 534d:0021) Once you have the ID you can dump verbose information about the device. lsusb -d 534d:0021 -v
Review: Good solid inexpensive choice to copy those old camcorder videos - Overall a solid inexpensive product that works pretty well. It is hard to determine if the video resolution / quality is affected by the product - maybe a little but for the price I say this does work quite well. I agree with others that the software is 'clunky' but it does work and there is a LOT of options for output - so many that I had to research and try out to determine the best output options for me! There are MP2 and MP4 and several DVD output options (NTSC and PAL) and other various output options I did not mention. The MP2 option allowed for a number of output resolutions (horizon/vertical lines of resolution) while other options had the resolutions greyed out. I found that there could be problems with some formats playing in a DVD player for example - but I plan to use my Win laptop and all the formats I tried run fine on Win10. One thing is that I could not get MP2, MP4, or DVD FORMATS to run on my iPhone (wanted to stream to TV - loaded file to iCloud then to phone) maybe this can be done - by no luck yet. The included software did load and work the first time on a home win10 laptop - 64bit - i3 Intel processor 2.0 GHZ. Video stream/bitrates were fine with the standard defaults - but when I tried to change things - like increase bitrates I saw no real improvement in quality but the file sizes jumped up a lot (a LOT) and video jumping/skipping did occur - so I used the standard default with no skipping. Standard DVD equivalent resolution file sizes ran about 3 GB per hour so be prepared for big files! I have copied from Sony Hi8 and MiniDV with no issues. I used the RCA video and Svideo inputs and both worked fine. I did think Svideo was failing at first (no picture) but just needed to click a button in the software then a clear pic on my laptop to copy! Update: after a week of copying dozens of Hi8 videos from my Sony camcorder - I have some tips. I am getting really great quality copies by using the s-video cable and selecting MP-2 with a bitrate of 8000. This is a higher bitrate than standard settings but it results in very good copies. Your computer needs to handle this higher bitrate for this to work. Lower bitrates were resulting in bad video with lots of motion artifacts. Note that 8000 bitrate will need about 3.7 gig per hour of video.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it work on windows 10?**
A: I tried several youtube tutorials, blog tutorials, and about 15 drivers all in all. I couldn't get it to work in Windows 10 or 8.1. The included CD is for WIndows 7 and XP.

**Q: Does this work with windows 7 64bit?**
A: I use it on Windows 8.1 on my desktop. Haven't tried it on the laptop with Windows 7.It does record. But after wasting a couple of disks found out I need to use 8.5gb DVD+r disks. Got 50 more blank disks today and will start transferring some more of my vhs. I have several DVD burning software programs. But only have gotten one to burn off so far. Waited until I got some more blanks before trying again. And I had to use it in compatibility mode to make it work with Windows 8.1. It was a pain but I'll see how the next one goes.

**Q: The device is not being recognised by my Windows 10 machine , it used to work. What can I do to get the device to be recognised?**
A: Hard to say. It could be a USB port issue on your W10 machine. A complete restart and device USB re-insertion may help. It could be a device USB/cord issue. If this is the case, just contact the seller and ask for replacement or refund. As far as the software included with the device, it may not be top of the line, but (in my case) it does what it said it would - transfer MINI-DV files to my laptop in MP4 format. Besides, your issue sounds more like a hardware problem. Try the restart/reinsert (into a different port, too)first. If that doesn't work, ask for a refund. Good luck!

**Q: Arrived with the installation mini cd cracked.  no response from the seller yet.  again;  is there a link to a website to download the software?**
A: I am so sorry about that,

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Serves its purpose at a very affordable price.
*by T***R on May 2, 2017*

This little unit is great for hooking up old gaming systems or VCR units to your computer. The downside is that you are most likely going to be using the software that came with it which is actually pretty good, but not too many alternatives out there. This is not the company's fault by any means, they do provide software which helps a lot, but the lack of options do make it difficult to perform the functions you want. We use this to record VHS to MP4. The software writes to .avi and .mpg, but a free solution such as Video to Video or Handbrake will easily do the conversion and even save you some space. The CD-Key is located on CD-ROM Label itself. This is mentioned on Amazon in the product description, but is not listed anywhere in the software itself. Guess I should have looked at the label before throwing it in... Although it has its short comings with software, for the price alone it deserves 5 stars for everything that is included. If you are looking for something that is simple to use and has the greatest features (produce high quality small files, has software with built in video editing, has multiple program support, is plug and play without configuration), look at the higher priced products, but if you are high tech or don't mind playing with things a bit until they work, it is well worth the money. Also, I am currently using this on a Windows 8 Laptop. Windows did pick up on a generic driver, but without software to record, I had to use the CD anyway.
