#Diamond vc500 software for windows 10 how to#

I find the criticism of others advice on how to digitize VCR tapes to be amusing. I ordered this from Amazon, although, I don't really think I'll need it. From all that I've seen so far, the most recommended 'caption' card, is the elgato video caption card. I was surprised myself though, at The Oldskool PC's use of a very cheap 'capture' card. But, after digitizing five more videos, I'll see if this is still true. Frankly, between my less than optimal VCR and my VC500, I'm more than satisfied with the video/audio quality. I'm sure it's not the best money can buy, but it is the one that I have. Regardless, as I mention in my first post, I'm using what I have on hand, my JVC HR-A591U. I plan on watching it again today, so I'll see if he does. I don't recall him even mentioning the model of the VCR he was using during the video. Yes, if you watch the video, he does have you use the 59.94 and the 29.97 settings. I'll put a little more effort into it, but, in the end, I think I'm just gonna have to trash about 50 Videocassettes.

But, both have their own issues, even more unsurmountable than trying to get Windows 10 to work.

I've tried capturing video on a Ubuntu machine. Since Window 10 is so unreliable, then, I suppose I could set up Windows 7 as a virtual machine. Info being evergreen, does that mean that the information from over 10 years ago is still accurate today? Wouldn't you call saving the video to digital form 'capturing' the video? As opposed to the VC500, which output just 'streams' the video. I would call the company which created and maintained the software about a problem, something it was doing wrong, they would send out an update, sometimes, not always, the problem I called in about would be fixed, but, always, it would break something else. I used to work in a telephone central office where I managed the software and the hardware that captured the calls we could bill. Yeah, I suspect that Windows 10 is the culprit. Which Codec? I think, from all of the posts that huffyuv is about the best. Would someone please walk me through the settings. I guess my question is, after I've verified that I'm getting good video out of my VC500. Reading through the many, now outdated, replies on this forum, I see that LMotlow insists that the VC500 can be used with Virtualdub to convert video from VCR to digital format.

So, later, I will install EZGrabber to make sure that my VC500 is still working. I'm searching for a way to troubleshoot my VC500 to see if it is putting out USB video, but, so far I haven't figured out the correct rigging. I bought a small screen display, that had composite inputs, just to check that my VCR was still working. I've also tried with OBS Studio, which posters here insisted would capture from my VTC500. I haven't installed EZGrabber yet, but, I installed Virtualdub2, and except for a few frozen frames, I was not able to get any video from my VC500. Since then, I've had to do a clean install of my Windows 1O Pro desktop.ДЄ couple of days ago, I decided to try it again. If I remember right, it seems I initially had success with Virtualdub, but eventually, I could no longer 'capture' video from my VC500 with it. Both with the software supplied with the device, and then Virtualdub. Hardly 'capturing'.ДЄ few years ago I made an effort to get my VC500 'Capture Card' to work. This device only converts a composite signal into video over USB 2.0. First off, why do they call it a 'Capture Card'? It's the software that does the capturing.

And, no, let's not go down that road again, I don't have the $$$ to upgrade to a better VCR. This is Very anoying.ДЄny help on solving this or suggestion on where to look next.I have a JVC HR-A591U VCR with composite video output. However more often than not it is no seeing the driver. The odd thing is it works once in awhile and PowerDirector see the driver, and I can capture the Video no problem.

I have seen other post regarding an Issue with the VC500 and previous version of Power Director, but nothing is helping my issues This leads me to believe that PowerDirector has the issue.

#Diamond vc500 software for windows 10 driver#

I checked all the possible remedies in the error message with no luck.ДЄlso when Power Director doesnвЂ™t see the driver, the EzGrabber software provided with the VC500 does see the driver and can capture video. However when I select Capture Alt+F9 I get the following error mesaage from Power Director indicating that it dosen't see the capture device.

I am attempting to use PowerDirector 365, and VC500 (Diamond Video Capture device) to capture home videos from VHS.
