I bought Easycap a couple of weeks ago (Hong Kong seller), installed it (and Ulead 10) without any trouble (Win XP). Connected up my old camcorder, picture came through fine, but no audio. Tried everything I could think of to get it to work, but not a peep. Came across this discussion and was expecting to have to write it off. But... I kept trying, going round and round all the settings, reinstalling, etc etc, and eventually it crackled into life. I don't know what I did, in fact I don't think it was anything I did, I think it just decided to start working, maybe it needed some time to warm up or just a bit of use. Now it's fine, I have already digitised several hours of old tape without any trouble, picture and sound both fine. It's a bit crackly for the first few minutes after plugging it in, but then seems to settle down, so I don't start serious recording right away. Sorry I don't have a great technical solution to write about, but I thought I would post this anyway to encourage people to keep trying.

I have shown that my EasyCAP DC60 will not work with either my Acer5103 laptop (with Vista)
or my AMD1600 pc (with WinXP) if the driver displayed by the Device Manager in Image
Devices is STK1150. The instructions supplied with the DC60 are incorrect you need the DC60
connected so that windows knows what the device name is.
To get it to capture movies with Ulead Video Studio SE DVD v10 the driver in Image Devices
needs to be Syntek STK1160 not STK1150.
In order to get STK1160 driver installed in both computers I put the following files in a folder
called SyntekSTK1160

With the DC60 connected I updated the drivers from STK1150 to STK1160.
Instead of Syntek STK1150 you may have a device called USB2.0 Capture Device with a yellow
mark on its icon. In this case update the drivers for this device.
I have noticed a problem with the Audio lagging the Video so when I get the time I will try some
different capture applications.
The drivers obtained from website:

were the same as those on the EasyCAP CD v.2.1c.
What need from you is a link to a web-site so that I can download/install drivers and make
Image Device a Syntek STK1160. I will then change my feedback on eBay.

Well here is my 2 cents on this piece of junk. if you have not bought one DO NOT DO IT !!!.. what a waste of money, the cd that they made and sent was bad and seems im not the only one that got hosed, i did email the seller in china and got this lame reply.. BLAH BLAH BLAH
dear friend
we are very sorry for the problem with the cd.
we will send you the data in the cd again,but very sorry that these days is china spring festival days and we are taking the holiday,the holiday will end after Feb,15,we can only send the data in the cd after that day,very sorry for this case,and very sorry for the trouble.
very thanks for your understanding.

threw talking with.

Yup, I've totally lost it now!!

I, personally, never heard of it but then again, why would I?? LOL! What has me sorta concerned is all the Asian auctions running that won't ship until after the 15th. I wonder if all the sellers have notified their buyers they are par-taying in the streets and can't hit the post office for another 10 days?

"Buy American".......now THERE'S a happy thought! I'm so tired of walking through stores, picking up expensive clothes and seeing "Made in Taiwan" on the tag. Doesn't anybody sew in the States anymore???

You do know we're doing ourselves in, right? And I have to say that I thought of your sentence again last night - in bed - and roared again!! LOL! With the day I put in yesterday (am paying for it today with a migraine) that sentence was like a gift from Heaven!

I do hope you get your purchase straightened out. I know you've been with eBay a while so I don't even have to start telling you who to avoid next time you want to buy electronics. This category is one of the biggest problems eBay has - and they DO seem to have a lot more problems lately!

Have a great day!

Hello all. Let me preface this with the fact that I have a Vista based Laptop and XP based PC.

I bought one of these and received it a few weeks ago. When I initially bought it, I had no problems with it at all with Ulead 10 on the only time I used it with the provided software. Then I put it away for a while because the videos I wanted to make into movies I had not recorded yet. I record them and come home to use my EasyC(r)ap. Didn't work. So I troubleshoot and troubleshoot... No avail. I tried DL Ulead 11, as it is supposedly compatable with Vista. Wrong, it sucked worse than 10.

So I search and search and I found AmCap. I dl a trial version (which operates fine for the purpose I wanted) and it works like a champ. I don't think that the Ulead program is compatible or something, but now it's working fine with AmCap. I've made a few movies from the old 8mm camera I have, there was one or two times it lagged, but when playing it back it plays perfectly.
