Diamond's package was the only one that offered higher quality capture options. Less compression means less pixelation and artifacts. There were lots of options to choose from in the supplied Empia software, and you can still use that in Mojave or earlier, but not in Catalina since it's 32 bit software.
I would always use Maximum to get as clean a capture as possible from tape. You'll get a very large file, but you only need it for as long as it takes you to make a DVD. Anything you use video editing software for to get the captured video to a playable DVD is rendered as MPEG-2. That adds yet more compression. So the cleaner (less compressed) capture you can start with, the better the final DVD will look.
Empia Video Capture For Mac
I have the Diamond VC500MAC capture device. I installed Catalina yesterday after finding the 64bit driver you mentioned. However after installing the driver Quicktime does not recognize the device (except for audio). VLC doesn't recognize it either. You were able to get it to work? Any suggestions how?
EchoFX sells Mac OS X software drivers for USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 video capture devices. If you have one of the many devices we support, installing "USBVision" for USB 1.1 devices or "VideoGlide" for USB 2.0 devices, will allow you to preview and capture video using the device.
If you have a device and are not sure whether it will work, install the appropriate software, plug in the device, and launch the capture application. If your device is supported, a registration dialog will appear. You can use the "Demonstration" mode to test the software.

When you troubleshoot issues with a video capture device, there are some quick tests that you can complete to rule out potential problems. You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:
Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager. Check to see if your device is listed under Sound, video and game controllers.
If you do not see the video capture device in Device Manager, visit -us/faq/usb-cannot-detect-windows. If the device is listed with an error, follow the instructions on the www.StarTech.com website to reinstall the drivers.
You can use a video capture device to capture or record an audio and video output signal to a connected computer. You can use USB, ExpressCard, or PCI Express technology to connect a video capture device to a computer system. StarTech.com has video capture devices that can capture audio and video from sources such as HDMI, DVI, VGA, S-Video, component, or composite. The captured signals are usually recorded with software that is included with the video capture device. Some software will also stream the captured signals online.
Select a capture device that features the audio and video connections you want to use. These can be identified on the product page, under the Technical Specifications tab. Whenever possible, you should avoid using adapters or converters with video capture devices as they can cause issues or negatively impact the quality of the audio or video signals being captured.
When looking at a video capture device that requires software to use, it is important to consider the operating system you want to use it on. You can find this on the product page under the Technical Specifications tab, which only lists supported operating systems.
HDCP stands for High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection. This system protects high definition video from being intercepted, modified, or recorded between the source and the display. All StarTech.com devices adhere to the HDCP standard, so they do not record HDCP-protected content. HDCP content that is being blocked often appears as a blank screen or a screen with an HDCP error shown on it.
Certain video capture devices allow you to stream video feeds online with streaming platform such as YouTube. For more information, review the product manual or watch our video on this subject. You can find a link to the video in the description. If at this point you have further questions about a Startech.com video capture device contact our technical support team for further assistance.
Although you may be able to plug in all of the connectors used for video standards associated with video capture cards/cables, you may still encounter issues that may prevent the video from being captured correctly.
High Definition Content Protection (HDCP). This type of copyright protection is included with DVI and HDMI and can appear as a video error or blank screen. HDCP may also appear on the screen.
Analogue Content Protection (ACP). This type of copyright protection is included with analogue video (for example, composite, s-video, or component). ACP can appear as a brightness pulsing up and down.
It is possible to passively convert video signals to different connector types, but the video standards will not always match between the video source and video destination. You may need to actively convert from one video type to another to ensure that the correct conversion is being made. When a passive converter is not available, most video standards can be converted with active converters.
If your video source has the ability to change resolutions (for example, a computer), it may be possible to send an incompatible resolution. To verify that the correct resolution is being used, navigate to www.StarTech.com and click the Technical Specifications tab for your product. Make note of the Industry Standards and Maximum Resolution specifications.
Certain StarTech.com video capture cards are compatible with DirectShow and will work with many third-party video capture applications that are compatible with DirectShow. For more information on DirectShow compatible video capture cards, refer to the following FAQ: -capture-cards-directshow.
No, you cannot use this capture card to turn your video camcorder into a webcam. This capture card does not use a DirectShow compatible driver, which is a requirement for many of the software applications that enable you to use your video camcorder as a webcam.
It might not look like it's a dark (all 0) image, but there are vertical thin bars that (in the video feed) move a bit. Regardless of the camera being connected to the USB device or not, I get the same image.
It's a workaround, I've been able to grab the sound only via the onboard sound card line-in in vlc. tvtune doesn't grab the sound, only the video stream. The real issue is that the modprobe em28xx uses the wrong card number.
One of the better USB capture devices that is out there would have to be the ezcap 159 for Mac. The main difference with this model verses previous USB devices, is that this ezcap 159 has a built in 64bit driver thus allowing it to work with Catalina OS and above.
