Make your camcorder tapeless on a budget [Hi8, Video8, Digital8, VHS-C...)

[@meidicht6453]

Do most camcorders have these three plugs to take in the rca cables? I plan to buy a vhs camcorder but am very hesitant because I don't see the bits I insert the rca cables into

[@viaimj]

Mine use only 1 av cable... I use panasonic nv-gs150...

[@kaikofoni]

just check the manuals! they're often available online.

[@Pwn3dbyth3n00b]

Usually the camcorder doesn't have RCA plugs into it. If it does it's probably one audio channel. Usually they have a 3.5mm jack that carries video/audio and they typically come with a plug that looks like a headphone plug but the other end is RCA. Ontop of that it also might have a plain 3.5mm audio out that pairs with an S-video plug. Another thing I've come across is something called DV or Firewire which is like a vintage equivalent USB/HDMI connector that outputs digital video and audio signal. My Sony Digital8 camcorder has a 4 pin Firewire connector that I use. Some camera can have a 6 pin firewire and even more but when it's more pins the camera is more modern.

[@bsanchez3563]

Alright excelllent, thanks for the clarification legit this is genuine not meant as sarcasm by the way. Is there easilyva way to connect a usb cable to an ilink port?

[@kaikofoni]

Turns out there are several different knock-off easycaps with different chipsets, with varying qualities. Do you happen to know what chipset is inside your easycap?

Guys, im having a very hard time choosing between clearclick and grabstar av. They look the exact same, but there are a lot less videos about grabstar. Im not sure if it is just a poorly made knockoff, or maybe they are all made by one company

@4ymdok how would this help bruh ?

[@angelauraa]

@@r4yvenxmusic_official you can get a cable with the red white and yellow one on one end and the av out on the other, that’s what i have!!

[@angelauraa]

@@r4yvenxmusic_official now you will plug the av out into your camcorder and plug the red white and yellow ones into the video grabber!! that should work

[@maxarmitagee]

Do you know what cables to buy if the camera doesnt have the white, yellow, and red plugs?

What kind of plugs does it have?

[@tiagoalegrerocha]

It would be: AV to RCA male

[@James-uu7rd]

@@tiagoalegrerochamines only has the white and yellow what should I buy then?

[@carlosdgutierrez6570]

have you tried to use the S-video source instead of the yellow component source to capture the footage?

[@elhamster94]

My man that was a very good tutorial but i have a doubt, what if my camcorder accepts rca but only the yellow and the red connector (the other connector is a rf) how do I get the audio out? Or the white connector is not necessary? Thanks

[@elhamster94]

So, my camcorder is a mono audio, not stereo that's why it only have one audio port

[@too_many_cameras]

I wish i could help but i don't know enough

[@gabvalderama1]

[@grlswrld4625]

what is an alternate app for easycap recorder for ios/iphone devices?

[@too_many_cameras]

Sorry i can't help you all i got is android

[@DoubleMonoLR]

I think the device itself is more likely to be the limiting factor, Apple isn't great at supporting generic hardware on them. More profitable to make it so only their own, or approved, devices work I guess. You could buy an old android phone with USB OTG(on the go) for a low price though, even the oldest ones with OTG are likely to be fine.

[@TallulahGray]

any idea how this could be adapted for iphone users?

[@too_many_cameras]

Sorry. I have no idea

[@danso1586]

for some reason my mac doesnt read av adapter i just says USB c when all the wires are plugged in (idk if the camera )

[@Vanitybreak]

My camera works but its cassete compartment is stuck , if i use this method without inserting a cassette , will it work ?

[@too_many_cameras]

I can't promise you but it may be worth a try

[@mrsBrunax]

@ishanxz did it work? i have the same situation with my digital8

[@SIMONHELLO]

This method uses a monitor camera to record video from the camera's view. There is no need for tape to record.

[@vxlntin]

does this work with another capture device or only with easycap?

[@semremorso90]

The 'USB camera app' is better, it's a shame my Easycap came with a USB audio defect

[@0EliàCollà0]

is it possible to do it without the red cable? my camera only has white and yellow port

[@SIMONHELLO]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RCA_connector#Color_coding_in_consumer_equipment The red A/V port is for the sound. you can use it perfectly fine

[@Alderath989]

Mine doesnt have an av like this, there are firewire and mini usb inputs which one works with this??

[@too_many_cameras]

Neither do unfortunately

[@ikukoyuuki3523]

Does it record sounds?, and could you send footage after recording. Im trying to go tapeless but its so hard to find a digital converter without paying 2x middleman price here lol

[@too_many_cameras]

It does record sound

[@ikukoyuuki3523]

Thanks for the reply! Can I take a look at the footage though? Also theres so many ezcap knockoff would buying different one causes to lose quality or other stuff?@@too_many_cameras

[@rawrrawr3636]

hi, why is the output on my phone only shows a black screen? it only records the audio of my camcorder, any solutions? thank you

[@rawrrawr3636]

and to add my camcorder has a s-video and av output, but i’ve only tried connecting the av output to 3 rca on the easycap

[@too_many_cameras]

Are the cables connected securely? Double check. If you can find a tv with RCA input you can diagnose where the problem is

Camcorders shut down to save battery when you are not recording onto the tape…
