So can I record retro consoles with this device (e.g. Gamecube/PS2 era back through NES if they don't have a composite cable and only have A/V cables?

FYI, Composite is the same as A/V (yellow is the video, red & white are the audio).

This specific video card is capable with s-video (cicular connector with pins) and rca cables (yellow, white, and red cables) as its lowest quality possible connections. Anything lower than that is not possible. To connect rca cables you will need to get those cables separate they do NOT come in the packaging. Connect the yellow cable in the green connector. So yellow into green,white into white and red in to red. Then repeat the same for the passthrough.

Yea you would plug the yellow cable into the red i think nit sure but one of the three and then the audio into the whit/red

Yes, if you feed your composite signal from your vcr to a device ( a dvd recorder or a audio/video receiver for example ) that has a component or hdmi output.

Hi Ben. I was asked to answer this question by the people at Amazon. I have not tried to use this product for the application you have asked about, but, as long as you can plug the product in to the device, I don't see why you couldn't record Nintendo Gamecube gameplay. This product works amazingly well when I use it in conjunction with my VCR and I have had no issues with it. Hope it works as well for you!

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

It doesn't work on mine, not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be wired properly to work. I've tried swapping the cables around that I attach to it with no luck even. No video, no audio, only static when all three are connected to my RetroPi Emulator and a TV

Yes, I have the original SNES model, and it works perfectly. I am using a CSYNC fully-shielded grounded SCART cable from seller retro_console_accessories on eBay.

My apologies, I'm slightly revising my previous answer. This unit supports 480i to 1080i, so it MIGHT be possible to use it for a composite (r,w,y) cable from your VHS player. The yellow would be plugged into the green port.The description doesn't explicitly say it supports composite, though, so it might be a gamble. I can't claim it will work with any certainty, but apparently the green port is what is commonly used to support the old composite cables.

I'm not sure what console you're talking about as most retro systems output stereo audio via SCART. Some consoles will need to be modified to get an RGB signal but that's only for video. RGB uses the composite video as the sync. SCART can also accept s-video. All you need is the right adapter... http://www.ebay.com/itm/RGB-Scart-to-Composite-RCA-SVHS-S-Video-AV-TV-Audio-Cable-Adapter-/200843908116?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item2ec33ad414 For more info on SCART check these links out... http://members.optusnet.com.au/eviltim/gamescart/gamescart.htm http://retrorgb.com/systems.html If you need cables for a console... http://stores.ebay.com/retroaccessories/ And if you have more than 1 console you want to connect, it also has stereo audio RCA output jacks on the back. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bandridge-Premium-Performance-Selector-Switching/dp/B0015YYN1W/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1399313127&sr=8-6&keywords=scart+switch

Though I've never tried it, there is a record button on there so I assume it can record. It's Tunerless, therefore there is no direct connection from the cable. You have to use the A/V connection, Yellow/Red/White

You know I'm not quite sure of that. But I don't think so. But go to any place that sells these tapes where you live and someone should be able to answer this question for you. I wish I could help you, but I don't know much about game systems much. Good Luck.

Yea I'm pretty ssure you can because I would play PS3 with this device so I am able to record with an HDMI output which is otherwise blocked on PS3. I have an Optical Cable from my PS3 to the device and then to my headset. And the DVI from the PS3 to the device then an HDMI to my Capture Card then from the Capture Card to the TV. My Recording saved on my PC has audio and video and I can hear the game volume from my headset.

I think this is possible because the VCR has provisions for analog input. Why you would want to do this, I do not know because you cannot make disc recordings. You can only play what is saved on the hard drive.

You would need something to actually play the tapes. This just converts incoming A/V to digital.

Depends. If you're going to be recording things in SD (NES, SNES, PS1/2, Xbox, Wii etc) it's a good little device, though quality wise it does have some interlacing issues at time. If you want to record in HD (PS3/4, Xbox 360/One, Wii U) this isn't a great choice, as it's max resolution is 480p. If you're looking for high definition capture your best bet is to get either the Roxio, AverMedia, or Elgato, but they aren't cheap ($100+).

Really it's only used for game and video capture on your pc. I wouldn't capture cable or satellite do to copyright issues. I'm not even sure if it'll work

I don't know because it would record unless you have a cable box, which I don't even though I have cable. I bought from amazon a magnabox which would work.

This device is old analog RCA "in" with new digital HDMI "out". If you're trying to view old VCR tapes (VCR player) on a new Flat screen TV with an "HDMI" in put, the answer is yes. This device works very well! LEL
