SVID2USB23 not working with new MS Surface Pro7
The SVID2USB23 does not connect with capture programs on my new MS Surface Pro7. The device manager indicates the driver is incompatible with Windows, even though the same software worked fine on my MS Surface Pro4 with latest Windows updates. StarTech needs to come up with a more versatile/universal driver that does not crap out every time Windows does an updata.

Now works with Windows 10 V2004 and V20H2.
I have owned this product for several years. When Windows 10 got updated to 2004 and 20H2, the product would no longer work with our standardized capture program. StarTech at first was not responsive to the problem. However, after a while they realized that they needed to create a new driver. The new driver works. The only other issue is that the wires used for the VGA feed are very thin and very fragile. They break easy if over-flexed. I braided all the wires together to eliminate the stress point at the rubber grommet into the device. If it were not for this fragile wire issue, I would give this product 5 stars. For now, only 4 stars.

Not working with catalina
Bought it 5 years ago, pretty good but the cord one one of mine got a bit damaged just by having it folded in the box. They did replace it. My main issue no is with the upgrade to catalina it is no longer working. Need a new driver to run the product on MAC OS.

Fail-Not Mac compatible
WARNING! Updating to Mac OS 10.15.7 or any OS above 10.14 will kill this product on a Mac. Until then it work fine for me, but I also use several Adobe video products and the latest update requires the newer OS.

Useless with aqn up to date Mac
Bought this to record some older game play. Worked fine but with the newest Mac OS it doesn't work due to t being a 32 bit app. Not impressed with the longevity of this piece of tech

Worked great until Mac Catalina update 05/16/20
This was a flawless tool until I updated to Catalina. $50 is a steep price to just have to throw away over a simple software upgrade. I've seen your basic response to the others with the same problem but no real confirmation that you're working on a software upgrade. Please let us know as I'll have to sadly toss this unit out if that doesn't happen soon. asap. or at least if you give us an ETA.

hardware device issues
The hardware was working fine until a recent Mac software update. The device no longer works as device needs to be updated by developer. I have tried to amend this myself via the legacy software tab which brings up software out of date. However, your software is not listed, Can you advise if a software update is available for this product ?

Don't Buy They Lie
I just purchased this little gadget to help ease the mess of archiving old Hi8 and Minvdv tapes. It clearly states "works with mac". It's almost February and it still won't work on a mac that shipped in the last few months with Catalina. That is low. I could see if it was August or September of the same year a new mac os comes out..

Worked great until Mac OS 10.15 update
This product worked as advertised. But then I upgraded to Mac OS 10.15 and now the software won't run because it hasn't been updated to 64-bit only which is required to run on Mac OS 10.15.

32-bit only!
if you're using a modern mac OS, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT. it only supports macOS 10.14 or earlier!

Worked good for me!
Ive actually had mine for a couple of years. The first one I owned had temperature problems and as it warmed up the picture would go bizerk. (thats an electronic tech term) Anyhow, StarTech CS shipped another out to me after working with my on the phone, didnt want the old one returned. Its worked beautifully since. Well now Im changing over to Linux and I was looking for Linux compatible software but it looks like Im going to end up having to use a virtual machine if I conti to use the SVid.

Strange behavior
I have a surveillance camera with PAL signal outputs S-video & composite. In my MacBook Pro (Mohave) this device don't detects the PAL signal but the NTSC (!?) The image appears with te bottom cropped, a lot of lines, and the format isn't the expected aspect ratio 4x3. What's goin on?

Twain Drivers works good, WDM and DirectX too
I had trouble understanding the driver installer will (by default) install the video and audio components as (audio) components.. not "if" it does.. then have to complete the install by going manually into the 64 or 32 bit driver directory and updating the driver.. then it shows up as an Imaging device and a singular Audio device. Twain driver has be installed separately too.. and the drivers always produce big red scary warning dialogs.. so have to override to get them in Windows 7 x64. Irfan is the freeware Twain test tool I used for testing, I had installed the Twain32 driver and Irfan32 on Win7x64.. the 32 and 32 could see each other and select File/Acquire/Select Twain - USB 2861 Video and a live popup window appeared allowing me to select Composite or S-Video as the source and the Capture size.. settings brings up the DirectX Decoder/ProcAmp/Image panels for tweaking the image. Capture is a simple button and it dumps the frame shot into Irfan as expected. XnView > Scan natively uses the Twain32 driver like you would expect, no glitches. ArtWeaver Free also invokes Twain32 and captures no problem. Windows Live Movie Maker treats it like a Wecam source, when the drivers are properly installed (this) opens a selection and fine tuning dialog and then lets you capture video and sound to "clips". The sedcondary dialogs are the DirectX dialogs, color is good but old VHS tapes may have some timebase "swimming" in them without a corrector device. VLC captured both video and audio.

Works Great
Simple install and works great to capture analog video. Just make sure device is connected to a USB 2.0 or 3.0 port. USB 1.1 port will cause dropped frames during capture.
