I recently recieved a question regarding capturing videos from a camcorder. I have a SONY DCR-PC5E quite old now but i still have tapes with stuff i want to transfer to DVD, i still have the cable which came with the camcorder which i usually use to connect to the TV, this works with the easycap.

On your camcorder you should see similar to the picture below Audio/Video Out connect your cables to this port and the composite video cables to the Easycap. My handycam is PAL 50hz as standard so i got a picture immediately.

Testing the Easycap

A quick way to test if the easycap is working and the drivers have been installed correctly is by using one of these tv game systems, I have a Namco 5 in 1 system which is composite video only.

Just connect this directly to the easycap and you should get a display within the ulead software with sound. I will do a post tomorrow on using the Ulead software making titles and editing the video that you have captured.
