USB 2.0 analogue capture for Windows

The Vszerda adapter digitises composite and S-Video sources at 720 x 480 for NTSC or 720 x 576 for PAL. It targets owners of VHS, V8 or similar tapes who want to archive footage directly to a Windows PC without opening the case. The device draws power from the USB bus and includes a video editor for basic post-production work.

Driver installation then plug-and-play

Windows XP, 2000, Vista, 7 and 8 are supported; the installer places the capture driver and the bundled editing software. A Pentium 4 at 1.7 GHz, 256 MB RAM and a graphics card with 32 MB video memory are the stated minimums. No external power supply is needed, but a free USB 2.0 port must be available. Missing admin rights or an occupied port are the common failure points.

USB 2.0 bandwidth caps resolution and frame rate

The 2.0 link limits capture to 30 fps at 720 x 480 for NTSC and 25 fps at 720 x 576 for PAL. Higher definitions or progressive scan formats are not possible over this interface. Audio arrives as stereo RCA without requiring a separate sound card. macOS and Linux are not supported, so buyers on those platforms must choose a different device.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the adapter is capturing at the correct 720x480 resolution for NTSC after setup?

Open the included Video Studio software, start a capture preview, and confirm the on-screen display shows 720x480 at 30 fps for NTSC or 720x576 at 25 fps for PAL.

What cables or accessories are included in the box versus what I must purchase separately?

The box contains the capture adapter with attached USB 2.0 cable and a software disc; you must supply your own RCA composite, S-Video, and stereo RCA audio cables to connect the source device.

Which version should I choose if I only have a laptop with a single USB 2.0 port and 256 MB RAM?

This single model is the only version offered; it draws power from the USB 2.0 port and meets the minimum requirements of a 1.7 GHz P4 CPU, 256 MB RAM, and 32 MB VGA memory.
