Is the AverMedia EzRecorder 330 Worth It? Full Unboxing & Honest Review

In this video, I unbox and review the AverMedia EzRecorder 330, a versatile game capture solution for recording in 4K. I'll walk you through the setup, key features, and my honest thoughts on its performance. Note: Setting up NAS not working 100% still. #TechReview #Unboxing #gamecapturecard

Should have shown more on nas and how well the IR blaster works

[@xctechs]

@youarealooser121 didn't work, so I didn't show. And also when you record from vhs within 10mins it stops.

[@youarealooser121]

@ wow sounds like a piece of junk

[@xctechs]

@youarealooser121 well I always ask for 2 weeks of testing but companies always push to make video because they have a sale happening or more. And I tend to make longer videos to show everything. I say the words but not showing because those parts don't work. It is not a bad unit just some add-ons need to be 100% working

@@youarealooser121 VHS in particular is very hard to capture for any capture card, because the material is being played back from a magnetic tape that is not very stable. It's very common that the sync signal is lost for one or a few frames every now and then due to the analog nature of the VHS tape. Almost no capture cards are able to correct for this, so it's not reasonable to ask the EzRecorder 330 to be able to handle this, especially not at that price point. There are dedicated units available to correct for the unstable sync signals that are coming out from a VCR. Those devices are called time base correctors (TBC). If you want to capture VHS, you need to connect your VCR to a TBC, and the output of the TBC should then be connected to the capture card. That's the normal way of doing it. The reason the EzRecorder stops recording after 10 minutes of capturing VHS is probably because the sync signal is lost for a few frames since the VHS tape is old. If the capture card is not receiving any sync signal anymore, it's not possible for it to continue to capture anything. Also, keep in mind that most capture cards nowadays don't even have a composite video input. For composite video sources (for example old cameras or old video game consoles), you would normally have to go through a video scaler that accepts composite video and upscales that video source to say 1080p. This can then be fed into the HDMI input of the capture card, which will most likely produce much better results than trying to directly use the composite video input on the EzRecorder 330. I don't know why they even bothered to include a composite video input on this capture device, but I would recommend avoid using the composite video input as much as possible and stick to HDMI capture since that will naturally produce the best results.

does this device record locally onto a built in storage? or is its only wireless option streaming, also does it have its own wifi or will streaming require the ethernet port?

[@xctechs]

I am processing my videos on storage devices connected to it. the rest i have explained on the video. but if you ask me i am processing everything on a USB Connection thumb drive.

[@ricky865]

I have to ask would you recommend this device more than the AVerMedia GC513 Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus for no PC recording?

[@xctechs]

@@ricky865 GC513 do require a PC connection, 330 do not

[@ricky865]

@@xctechs Thanks I was just asking because the AVerMedia GC513 Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus also has a no PC recording mode.

[@xctechs]

@ricky865 I have it, and you need to connect usb to pc to know your recording is ok or not. So maybe newer version maybe has a HDMI out to see or not.

[@TheCrazyStudent]

@@xctechs This is not correct. The GC513 (Live Gamer Portable 2 Plus) does not require a PC connection for recording. It has a stand-alone mode where you record directly to a micro SD card. It's possible to use the GC513 as a USB capture device and record on your computer, but it doesn't require a computer for recording. If you set the GC513 to the stand-alone mode, then you can record directly to the SD card. However, you need to use a computer to make different settings to the device first, and tell it how it should operate in its stand-alone mode. So basically, you set things up with the computer first, which obviously does require a PC. But once that is done, it does not require a PC anymore. I guess the advantage with the EzRecorder 330 is that it's truly a stand-alone unit, requiring no PC connection even for the setup procedure.

[@TheCrazyStudent]

@@xctechs The one I have has both a HDMI IN and HDMI OUT port. If yours is lacking HDMI OUT, then I guess it's possible that you have an older version.

[@gerry2762]

How to factory reset? Anyone please
