How To Setup, Install and Use Your EasyCap

July 28th, 2010

This is how to setup and install your EasyCap.

This is the song at the beginning:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=25FSK3HQ

tigranater has informed me that If you want play on PAL 60, the EasyCap won’t support it unless you have bought an EasyCapDC60+. normal easycaps don’t work with pal 60.
Hope you find that useful!

If someone gave you a fake CD or you have lost yours here is the demo for Ulead Video Studio:
http://lfiles3.brothersoft.com/dvd_video/video_tools/UVS11Plus.exe

I had eminence difficulty trying to work it out how to install and use my EasyCap. I even tried looking at thousands of YouTube videos to try and work it out, but none of them worked. So I had a play arround with the settings and I worked it out. Because of this I made this tutorial!!!!

If you lost your serial number here’s MW2xVIDS’s http://www.youtube.com/user/MW2xVIDS serial!:
783A2-8A000-05520256
NOTE NOT SURE WHETHER IT STILL WORKS???

Do what is below if your screen is black after you do exactly the same as on the video!

If your from Europe then you have to do this!

TO START OFF WITH MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE RECORDING IN MPEG FORMAT!

1. Click on options.
2. Click on video and audio capture property settings.
3. Make sure that the input source is set to composite.
4. Make sure that the TV system is set to PAL.
5. Click on Capture (In the top right of the video and audio capture property settings box).
6. Select Custom (If not already selected) and set it to 400 by 400 (Default).
7. Change the quality to 100%.
8. Click on advanced.
9. Change the bit rate to 384.
10. Change the sample rate to 48000.
11. Click on OK.
12. Click on source.
13. Change the TV system to PAL again.
14. Click on OK.
15. Your done.

BUT IF YOUR FROM AMERICA THEN CHANGE WHENEVER I SAY PAL TO NTSC!

For those Xbox 360 owners do what nintendojoe said:

The reason why he gets colour straight away when he clicks on “Video Composite”, is because his PAL standard is set to 50Hz rather than 60Hz which is comonly used on XBOX 360 and most games. So you have to change the Pal Setting to PAL 50Hz rather than 60Hz.

Thanks nintendojoe!

Enjoy!!!!!!
