Thread: Device not detected on VHS to USB Capture-Converter

  1. #1

    Device not detected on VHS to USB Capture-Converter

    So i bought a similar converter like this

    https://www.amazon.com/VHS-DVD-Video-Capture-Converter/dp/B06X1F9MY9/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF...onverter&psc=1

    because i want to see my vhs-videos on my laptop, i installed it, but it says device can not be detected, the software was like trash.
    Then i connected the red, yellow and white plug to my vidorecorder, but nothing happened.
    How can this cable even detect the VHS Player?

    You need to install at least the driver from the software that comes with the device.

    When i had the Cd Rom open, it showed me just "INSTALL", and i installed it, there was no INSTALL DRIVER on it.

    Your computer is not going to "detect" the VHS machine like it detects a new USB device. There is often no obvious
    sign of my USB capture device being attached to my computer until I start the capture software which forces it to
    LOOK FOR the capture device.

    If the manufacturer has a website you may find a more recent driver there. Or do a Google search.

    Does the device show up in Device Manager? Is it "unkown" or has it been properly identified and the driver installed?

    yes the driver is installed. maybe it is because i connected it with this? https://www.amazon.com/CableWholesale-3-Feet-Stereo-Plated-10R3-01103/dp/B000I1DN32/re...=3+cinch+cable

    maybe it can not detect it, shall i connect it to scart?

    The cable shouldn't be a problem.
