#Roxio Video Capture Usb Software Out There#

However I can't find it anywhere. I assumed this was because it was included as part of Creator NXT 2. The USB Video Capture Device came without the CD/DVD with the drivers.

Roxio Video Capture Usb Software Out There

Did that bundle include Creator, or some other software?I'm wondering if there's other software out there, perhaps not Roxio, that would let me test this device - I don't even know if it works, so I'm hesitant to invest in software only to discover it's defective and then turn around and buy (hardware+software) like Roxio VHS-to-DVD again.Thank you, that's very helpful. But then it appears this hardware was also sold as part of 'Easy VHS to DVD' or whatever it is. Only compatible with Roxio Creatorв„ў 2010, Roxio Creatorв„ў 2010 Pro, Roxio Creatorв„ў 2011 and Roxio Creatorв„ў 2011 Pro, Roxio Creatorв„ў 2012, Roxio Creatorв„ў 2012 Pro, Creator NXT and Creator NXT ProWhich is fair enough, I can buy a copy of Creator NXT if necessary (though the reviews aren't great on Amazon). The page I cited above says, (Matches picture at ).He doesn't remember if it came with software.

Are those because it's tricky and the users didn't pursue proper answers (i.e. I was hoping that the cheap/free software (hypothetical Creator SE, or VHS-to-DVD, say) would at least capture the incoming stream, even if I needed something better to clean it up, edit, etc.I can buy Creator, I see NXT is on sale on Amazon but has very bad reviews. Some are recorded off-air (so not a lot of value) and some are speeches by a now-departed relative (so some value even if quality is bad). He's looking to see if he has a disk, but even if he does, from the discussons here, anything that was bundled with this older hardware probably won't run under Win7/64?My immediate need is very simple, get videos off these deteriorating VHS tapes.

In the same way we've gone from redeye removal with PhotoShop (or PhotoPaint) where you manually grab colour from nearby pixels, to the software automatically finding redeye and fixing it. Maybe (hypothetically) good software is good enough now to interpolate (extrapolate?) pixels and replace the white with something else. I did think there might be some cleanup possible, such as (to pick something arbitrary, really) the tracking static across the bottom. But I wasn't thinking so much of making BD quality from 6hr VHS (for example). But if not, then it's $20 down the drain that could be put toward NXT Pro - later!Also, you can't make it better! When you only start with a 1/2 of brick, you end up with a 1/2 brick in the end! No software can put it what isn't there to begin withBut I used to see them doing it all the time on Law & Order! Joke.Yeah, 'you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear' of course. Would the borrowed Roxio hardware and $20 Creator NXT likely give me better results than just recording directly to a DVD? If not, maybe I should use the DVD Recorder to capture the video via RCA|S-Video cables, then maybe move it to my hard drive at some point in future to do better with better software (perhaps NXT Pro).If for some reason I'll get better digital conversion with the computer and the old/basic Roxio hardware/software (old and basic, respectively) I could invest $20 in NXT.

I wondered if it's possible (especially given the relatively poor quality of a VHS tape at its very best) that _any_ video capture will do fine, and the difference in quality at the end (which will always be bad, but might be tolerable in a small 480-line window, or on my old 24' CRT TV) would be more a function of the software (NXT vs NXT Pro, for example). I can copy on my DVD Recorder, I can use the Roxio hardware and (buy) Creator NXT, I can buy some knock-off cheapo hardware and use some crap bundled software, etc. Or analogous to the evolution of OCR software from dedicated Kurzweil devices in the 1980s to today, where they both do a better initial job on poor scans, and do a better job of learning as the user corrects their initial miscalculations.What I was thinking is that I have several choices for getting analogue tapes to digital files. I'd imagine today there's software out there that does a decent job of identifying them and cutting them out without me having to do it over and over. It was a painful process (for me) though I could actually _see_ most of them in the visualization.

I have a collection of cassette tapes I might also digitize, though again (and even more than video) it's almost all probably available as CD, or streaming audio online now. I'm assuming that a <$15 knock-off capture hardware with no-name bundled software will give an inferior (more intolerable) result, but I guess it's possible the source is so bad that it's all total overkill.Thanks for the advice so far. If starting with the Roxio hardware and $20 NXT, and finishing with NXT Pro at some future point, will give a better result, then I could consider spending the $20 now.
