How do you use this device to capture video from VHS to PC?

Your PC will need a Video card with Svideo or composite inputs, and software to utilize it. Connect RCA cables to the video OUTPUT of the VCR to the Grex, then from the Grex to the PC Video card INPUT. You can connect the Audio , anyway you want (Output to INPUT). To the Video card or to any microphone input . You can even use the headphone jack on the VCR if you have one.

I don't use it that way. I run it from a VHS player to my DVD burner. Works great!

In theory that should work, if you already have the EZgrabber I'd say try it. But I assume you haven't purchased it yet and that's why you're asking. What I did with mine is plugged it into a VCR player so I could capture video from old home videos, worked great but you need to play with the settings. Again in theory if you plug it into AV out from any source you should be able to capture from it.

You'll need a device that has RCA inputs to record the video. A VCR or a computer with a TV card that has a VIDEO IN connector.

There are all kinds of converters on NewEgg like this link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812156023 It allows you to capture analog signals (like your VCR) onto your computer. Here is a link to an Amazon search for VCR to DVD recorder

I used this item with Honestec VHS to DVD 2.0 SE on a laptop with Windows 7. No issues.

This will enable your computer to correctly "read" the video by disabling the copy protection, however you will still need a program & input device such as this Elgato device available on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_electronics?_encoding=UTF8&field-brandtextbin;=Elgato&node;=172282)This combination will allow you to copy all VHS tapes, including protected ones.

Yes. It connects a video playback device like a VCR, TV, or DVD player to a computer. Software is provided to display the playback and capture it to disc. Works pretty well, except software will abort capture if it encountners poor signal quality due to imperfections in the source recording. That can be a real pain if you are trying to save video from old VHS tapes with lots of blips.

You need an analog audio/video interface to a PC/Mac such as these: http://smile.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n_8?fst=as%3Aoff&rh;=n%3A172282%2Cn%3A1266092011%2Ck%3APC+interface+for+a+vcr&keywords;=PC+interface+for+a+vcr&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1424548087&rnid;=493964

did this work? do you have to have the digital video stabilizer to record an old VHS movie onto DVD?

You will need a RCA-USB adapter and a video capture software such as http://www.amazon.com/Easy-VHS-DVD-3-Plus/dp/B006GOFW3E/ref=sr_sp-atf_title_1_1?s=software&ie=UTF8&qid=1405401992&sr=1-1&keywords=roxio+easy+vhs+to+dvd

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.

Gda, just put in the tape and slowly close it and when you are doing this, watch to see the tape move to the out egde of the adapter when closing the door. Then put it into your vhs machine. I have used this product just 2x and it works fine. It is just made (what seems to me) cheaply. So just handle with care, thats all.

Me too. I'd like to know if it is possible to connect RCA from say a VCR to view tapes on the PC LCD monitor I have.

No it cannot be hooked directly to a PC; you will need a special adapter. It can be hooked to a VCR.

This device connects to the rca output on your video8 device. You then "play" the tape on the device and "capture" the video on the included Cyberlink software that comes with this device. I use it on a Win8.1 laptop.

Yes. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).
