Pros & Cons
Pros
Product works as advertised. Here's the only caveat. Once you get the thing up and running, it works great. Replacement for our older diamond vc500 device.
Hauppauge 610 usb-live works with laptop and so far i have found that the image quality is good, av sync is very good, the color space is off, and does not handle interlacing very well. Easy peasy right out of the box with ubuntu studio 21. No issue w... Read More
The device takes that analog signal and and created a video which plays in 1080 letterbox on my hd tv. It allows to capture upto bitrate of 10 mbps. And the fact that it has s-video input means that you can get the best version of video out of the cam... Read More
I have a sony drv330 hi8 camcorder with tapes from the late 1990's and early 2000 that i really wanted to digitize. All of the tapes are two hours long, so i start recording, set an alarm for 2 hours later to stop the recording when the tape finishes.... Read More
Cons
The hauppage is junk, they have a software bug they don't know about, or their qc is terrible. All attempts at receiving support from this company (corel), email and live chat are a joke. Better stick with their hd-pvr.
Highlights
Quality
The software is super easy to use and install and there were no sync errors excellent video quality
It worked right away i was able tot transfer all my tapes without any kind of problems and the quality is great
The quality was pretty bad out of my 8 mm vcr
I was so disappointed in the results and was very discouraged thinking my videos had degraded terribly over the years
Price
Take the opportunity to rip your old vhs tapes to digital at a very reasonable price
I initially looked into having our movies converted by a professional and the estimated cost would have been gt 1000
I first ordered a cheap 14 34redgo34 device with good reviews to attempt to capture some old 8mm video tapes from the 80s90s
Buy the hauppauge for half the price as the elgato
Shipping
I had a heck of a time getting the new capture software installed after repeatedly receiving an error that my serial number had... Read More
Before returning the unit i contacted hauppauge for tech support and was informed that this error can also mean that you have a... Read More
You do have to download the software but that went very quickly
Packaging/appearance
So everything in the box you should be able to at least transfer your old vhs tapes over
Competitiveness
Much better than the 19 budget digitizers on amazon
Ive attached an identical frame from both devices just for comparison
I spent a little more and bought a better product from a credible brand hauppauge
The picture quality isnt really any better than the much cheaper easycap based on the macrosilicon ms2106 which i think is also... Read More
