Video Capture Device

BroBQ · Nov 14, 2017

Could someone recommend any decent/good video capture software?

Converting hundreds of videos from VHS, Hi8, etc... to DVD

The capture device hardware I have comes with some crappy software and was looking for something a little better.

Thanks

i dont know what device, or what its requirements are, but Dxtory works well with PC. OBS is another great capture/streaming program. or shadowplay, afterburner

specificity is your friend when asking these types of Component specific questions BTW.

I specified what I was looking for.

You were specific in what you wanted but you weren't specific in what it was for. If you have a capture card for instance, it may not work with certain types of programs."a capture device" is vague at best.

just trying to help you out

Not sure how to specify this anymore then I did. Any decent software, would work with just about any capture device.

Any video software has a capture option, Sony Movie studio, Adobe Premiere, I even think Virtual Dub Mod might do it for free

Even Logitech web cam software might work

Used a cheap USB to composite dongle and VLC... that's it... direct dump... and it even works perfectly in Linux.

Completely agree on this.
There's a lot of forum members who work on the post-production/video industry (myself included) and can recommend from the best and most expensive to the most affordable and effective.

If you want quality captures with no device control you can use Exzvid, TinyTake, SmartPixel, Screenflow, Icecream SR, etc... even VLC can record off almost any capture device but quality isnt so great, yet they're all free alternative.

If you want/need quality captures with device control or at least a good quality video profile (10bit uyvy420/422 which is close to raw) you will need to shell out some cash and get either sony vegas, adobe premiere, or avid.

Again, is hard to tell because OP did not specify what kind of capture device he/she's using.
