Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The software set-up and settings take a bit of patience, but the tutorial video is a gem, as is the developer. The developer was remarkably helpful in knocking down a few of my digital roadblocks.



Cons

Quality


The software was easy to install and welldocumented


The conversions are clean and the audio track always syncs perfectly with the video


The result of these glitches was that a typical 20 minute home video would be split into 2 to 6 pieces and rarely not split wit...  Read More


It also has an svideo input in addition to the composite yellow plug video for higher quality video if your player has this output

    Included are 3 pages of doublesided documentation which may sound intimidating but 2 pages are faq which you can ignore if all goes well and 2 pages are for the back up obs studio capture software which you can ignore if arcsoft showbiz works for you


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So there was really only the 2 pages of the core kit install which needed to be followed which has 3 steps install usb driver install video capture software connect capture device


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Within a number of minutes i had live video from my vcr visible in the showbiz capture window on my laptop with a big capture button prominently displayed on the lower part of the interface


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The arcsoft capture software can be sensitive to breaks of static between videos and i found initially that it would stop recording during some of these breaks


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Apparently the copyright protection is so sensitive that it sees odd video variances as formal protection and shuts down recording


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This was irritating but luckily there is a fix just follow the solution provided under faq question number 7


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The only downside is that it may continue recording static after your valid video segment ends so i just note the length of the video i want to capture and make sure i am there to press stop when it is over
