    Customers are mixed about the video quality of the TV tuner card. Some mention that the video capture was very impressive, and fine for regular digital video/Hi-8 captures to computer. They say the installation was easy, and recording those old videos was no problem. The unit has great resolution and audio quality, and can crop the video ever so slightly to remove unsightly parts. However, some customers report that the portion of the tape, the video that follows will be choppy for a few seconds, and the Elgato does not deinterlace the video.

However, others say that the video quality is below other conversions made in previous years, and is not HD quality. The final product is of a much lower resolution and quality.

    "...It's not HD quality but I didn't expect it to be (you're using composite cables... can't get much better than 480i)...." Read more

    "...There it was. Easy to understand GUI, simple settings, audio & picture quality options, loved the 4:3 or 16:9 choice when recording!..." Read more

    "...However, there is some artefact, a line of bad pixels at the bottom, when recording at 4:3 format." Read more

    5 Stars
    Works for OBS
    i bought this product in 2014 to for VHS conversions a while back. recently, i dug up my old N64 and tried it out with OBS. i had to play around with the settings and usb ports but i got it to work! it could just be my PC.. but the source has to be ongoing before i plug/replug it in to USB, but other than that, it's nice that i dont have to buy an expensive capture card or use Elgato software to play this again!
