Default Re: VCR to PC using EasyCap adapter .

Why connect the video to the TV, can you not connect it straight in the capture device?

I did this a few years ago, VCR to adapter to USB on the PC, this worked well. The software I used monitored the output on the PC while recording.

Does the adapter have its own decoder or it is relying on the PC to perform that function with the adapter just converting the video to a USB compatible stream. I found the hardware decoder much more reliable on poor video than the software type.
