It's mainly for capturing VHS tapes for archiving. I have now actually found a true UTV007 chipset one from not much more money from a local Amazon seller and it works great. Not particularly for the moment, but thank you. The device is 'junk' With these you really get what you pay for. The files are quite large but easier to handle than uncompressed and some compressed captures. A decent compromise between uncompressed and compressed (mpeg2,mjpeg etc) is lossless. I doubt if you really meant to say 'uncompressed' which will result in gigantic files. For Windows, technically, there is nothing to stop you trying other capture software but you will have to obtain the appropriate codecs if you do not already have them on your system. I know nothing about Linux so do not know what is available. The second issue is the probably very old capture program, which actually, determines the output, that comes bundled with it.
#Easycap utv007 install
You can not expect to install just any driver and expect it to work. The biggest issue with the cheap Chinese usb devices is driver support. Since it is the time of peace and goodwill to all men I will (try to) be kind.
#Easycap utv007 drivers
settings for capture devices - are they in the drivers or do they get communicated directly from the chip in the device? It can find some other use as a webcam or something if not. How do programs get the available resolution/frame rate/codec etc. I'm fully expecting to be told it's junk but I wondered if anything can be done, like using a specific driver or something. Kind of annoyingly, the sound seems to be fine and isn't one of the ones restricted to 8000 Hz.
For Windows I found a driver (Eas圜apDC60_64bit.zip) which works, kind of, but most programs won't work properly with it. It seems like a shame and maybe I'm wrong but I would have imagined that sending uncompressed video would be less taxing on the chipset, if only you could get the it to output that. But the worst thing is that it will only output heavily compressed MJPG.
It does seem to do okay at capturing at the proper frame rate though. I'm in a PAL country (so I want 720x576) but the maximum resolution I can pick is 640x480.
I bought it not knowing much about them and it was supposed to be a UTV007, but it turns out to be a Macrosil 'AV to USB2.0', MBA22N, 0x534D:0x0021. so I've bought a cheap USB Eas圜ap from AliExpress.
