are these still hot ass? is it still luck of the draw which chipset you'll get in these and only one is actually decent quality? is there a better option around the same price range?
i have a decade+ old easycap that uses the stk1160 chip and it serves me ok when the jacked up drivers don't bsod my windows. would buying a newer one be any better or are they still using that same chip
@mavica_again my experience is that they're all still hot ass yeah.
the only good one i ever had was a Gadmei UTV380 which they stopped making years ago (and it had jacked up drivers too ofc). when that broke i tried like 3 others which were all terrible, even ones that supposedly used the same chip family. now i use an upscaler connected to an hdmi capture instead, that might be an option worth looking into, there are sub £10 upscalers & hdmi capture devices although i can't vouch for them
@lion damn i completely forgot about turning it into hdmi. i already have an hdmi capture, bought a £5 scaler let's see how it does 👍
