[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1737863, member: 131855"] I purchased this [URL="http://digitnow.us/Digitnow!-High-definitionypbpr-Video-Grabber-gamebox---Convert-VHS-Tapes-to-Digital-format!-for-your-Mac-or-PC-iPad-and-iPhone_show40.html"]video capture device[/URL] recently because I got a pretty good deal. As you can see the vendor site clearly implies that the device is Mac compatible. The Amazon product page gives the same impression. Unfortunately that seems not to quite be the case. After installing the included software the best I can get is a few seconds of video. After a few launches the program will not even launch though I don't remember the specific vaguely worded error. I tried the device using a few iterations (versions) of Sierra and the most recent version of El Capitan and even went old school and ran it under Snow Leopard (10.6.8). The hardware involved has been my '08 MB Pro with 8 GB under El Capitan and Snow Leopard and Late 2015 iMac under Sierra with the same result every time. I have not had success with Windows 10 either but can't test further with that till I get Windows rebuilt. The device is recognized by either Mac and identified as follows: [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Product ID: 0x0408[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Vendor ID: 0x05e1 (Syntek Design Technology Inc.)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Version: 0.05[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Manufacturer: Syntek Semiconductor[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Location ID: 0x14340000 / 47[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Current Available (mA): 500[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Current Required (mA): 500[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#454545][FONT=Helvetica Neue] Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 Contacted the vendor and after several, what appear to be badly translated from Chines to English e-mails, the best advice I have gotten is try it on another PC.
