EasyCap USB Review

116 Comments

easycap-usb.jpgIf you want to capture your favorite TV program right to your computer without any kind of fancy video card, usbfever has the answer. The EasyCap USB2.0 audio/video adapter captures high-quality video and audio directly through your USB port all while allowing you to record in your favorite DVD formats.

I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these truly useful little gadgets and it did not disappoint. The EasyCap came with its own drivers and Ulead video capturing software that had me recording tonight’s Red Sox game in about 5 minutes. All I had to do was install the driver/software, plug in the EasyCap to my digital cable box, tweak a few recording options and to my delight I was recording in no time flat.

Nothing is better when something just works the way it is supposed to and the EasyCap is no exception. For those of you who don’t have a fancy video card with all kinds of inputs or like me have your computer in a place where you just can’t hook it up to your digital cable line the EasyCap, at only $39, is a great alternative to grabbing high quality audio and video for your desk or laptop.

Who else is talking about it?

    i´ve read the posts saying “rec audio with line in” !!!
    but i want to record audio on a notebook that has no “line in” only “mic”, with easy cap
    the video+audio capture with Ulead works great but it generates a gigantic file to discard the video stuff and only extract the audio
    i want to record audio only of a dj live set from a mixer
    steinberg wavelab recognize the usb as a source but no signal was encountered.
    i´ve already set the “recording” feature on the audio panel of the notebook to capture with usb

    any solution??? thanks in advance

    i solved the issue in a strange way.
    just leave the Ulead studio running on the background with all the settings properly ready to capture video AND AUDIO.
    then open an audio application like steinber wavelab, select the usb source to record and the audio will be heared and perfectly recorded

    Sabrent makes/sells an exact copy of the EasyCap, I contacted their support and they sent me a link to their Win7 64 drivers. Installed just fine.

    Windows 7 64-bit: http://www.sabrent.com/drivers/USB-AVCPTSetup_For_Win7.zip and run the install program.

    Figured out the easiest way to install easycap dc60+ drivers and get it working on a xp system.
    Plug the device into your usb drive (DO NOT USE THE EXTENSION CABLE). When it asks for a driver, say you want to install it from a known locatoin and get the driver installed from the CD. Navigate to the folder drivers and choose BDA32 and BDAUDIO.inf. It should install the drivers as USB 2861 Device andUSB Audio Device. Install ulead from the CD or if you already have ulead 10 installed, go ahead and start capture.
    Hope this will get flagged when someone with install problems of easycap is googling.

    Capture after this was a breeze and works great :)
