EZCap A/V Test with a major FAIL! Cheap USB Video Capture.

4 years ago

As a followup to my "Cheap USB Video Capture" video, I sent both Video and Audio test signals into this USB 2.0 Video Capture device to see how well the S-Video, Composite Video, and Left and Right Audio fared.

The generic video capture device being tested is an EZCap style USB2 dongle sold on Ebay under a listing titled:
USB 2.0 Audio TV Video VHS to DVD VCR PC HDD Converter Adapter Capture Card

Test signals include colors bars and several tests taken from the Sound & Vision Home Theater Tune-Up Video. UPC 647715079022

I also do an audio frequency sweep taken from the NAB Broadcast and Audio System Test CD. This was manufactured by DENON Digital Industries for the National Association of Broadcasters in 1988.

This video was intentionally uploaded at 480p with a 4x3 aspect ratio to match the native output of the Video Capture device.
