StarTech.comUSB Video Grabber (USB 2.0 Video Adapter mit TWAIN Support, Analog auf Digital Konverter, Windows)

First hurdle installing this is when Windows refuses to allow the driver to load unless you disable Core Memory Isolation in your security settings, weakening your OS's security before it can even run. It's possible that a newer driver may fix this, but Startech only make a 2020 driver available, the manufacturer (Empia) do not publish generic drivers on their site, and the usual driver download sites only have even older drivers available, so this is what you're stuck with.I wasn't expecting anything particularly spectacular capturing composite video, but this device still managed to disappoint me. The still (captured from my Amiga) doesn't really show how bad it is as not only is the image distorted but it also wobbles continually, like the device can't figure out consistently where the start of a scanline is. Yes I was using good quality, short, RCA cables and took care not to route them near power lines, the device is just that susceptible to interference I guess.Interestingly, if I force my Amiga to output PAL60, the horizontal wobble issues are mostly resolved, but you do get a lot of vertical wobble, and weirdly the PAL60 capture option in the driver gives you black & white, but PAL_I (a 50Hz standard) does capture OK, albeit with part of the next frame showing at the bottom of the video and needing to be cropped.This feels like a device that was only ever properly tested with NTSC, and cheaply made too. I'll be returning mine and looking for an alternative.As a final insult, the drivers don't even uninstall properly, leaving you unable to turn Core Memory Isolation back on. To resolve this delete HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USB28xxBGA and OEM, then C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\emBDA64.sys and emOEM64.sysUpdate: I thought my opinion of this thing couldn't get any worse, but here we are! I also have my Amiga hooked up via an RGB to HDMI converter, and normally this looks fantastic, but recently it's looked awful with a lot of background noise. It turns out that when this piece of junk is hooked up to my composite video port and to USB, the RGB output on my beloved Amiga goes to hell. I can only conclude that this thing is feeding interference down the composite port and ruining my day. With this discovery I simply cannot recommend hooking this up to any piece of equipment that you care about.

Doesn't work with Windows 10.

I previously purchased a USB Capture device (EasyCAP) that works in Linux, but the picture quality is poor! While reading various reviews/forums, the 'StarTech' capture device had good reviews, so I thought I give it a trial - yes the system requirement only mentions Windows, but that's the same with all other capture device, they never specifically say that it will work in Linux or not.It may well do a good job under Windows, but this brand/model definitely does NOT work under a Linux OS.Don't buy it if you using a Linux OS

Is this thing picky or what? Unreliable. Doesn't matter what computer I connect to it's a stroke of luck if it works or stays working.
