• Serial Port To Usb Adapter Drivers

It installs no problems check all the drivers and it says everything is installed correctly the drivers are digitally signed but when I run the program that comes with it 'One Touch Video Capture' it doesent show up at all it just shows a black screen. I have also tried opening it up in Ulead to see if I could at least edit the setting there but it won't let me but I can actually see the input from the device through there but if I try to record it says that there's no device selected or something of the nature. I can also get this to work right off the bat for my other computer although it's very slow so I can't record anything without putting it on the lowest setting and having quality that's so poor I can't even see what's going on. So if anyone can help me with this or has had the same problem in the past i'd appreciated. Did you download and install the vista64 drivers?strange because the spec sheet only lists - 'OPERATING SYSTEM WINXP WINVISTA32 ' - maybe they got it to work with vista64 later.

EDIT: Alright I got them installed but i'm still not getting any visual input from the thing. This is very annoying.I noticed that as well I have another backup comp that's a 32bit XP and it runs perfectly with this but I also have friends that have bought this with 64bit vista and 64bit win7 and got it to run right on the first try without problems. The VC500 did not load correctly and function on a Windows 7 Ultimate OS on an i7 PC with lots of capability.

The problem turned out to be the device name, OTG102, which was the same as eHome infrared sensor from Microsoft. Since this device is not used in my system, I uninstalled the eHome infrared driver and the VC500 installation went the same as before but I installed the correct driver, placed in the correct category, and the EZ Grabber works now. The otha side of the trap zip. How is it that the industry cannot agree on unique names for different devices?. But I installed the correct driver, placed in the correct category, and the EZ Grabber works now. Can someone elaborate on 'correct driver,' 'correct category'?i've installed VC500 in a windows 7 OS. More specifically, I installed the components from the CD that came with the device.

I'm not using the 'one touch' button on the cable, but rather the EZ grabber capture, edit, and produce software.I saw the OTG102 in my device manager, so am I to remove it per this thread, then reinstall the VC500 software off of the disk (or should I download the driver from Diamond?). And, how do I designate/ensure a 'correct category' as described in your post?If John Chapman is unavailable, can anyone provide assistance? Thanks in advance. I have now moved on to the next step and have some questions.i've captured the files and they are saved on my laptop. I'm able to even view the content - my laptop automatically launches to view the videos.1) what software should i use to edit the videos?a) i would like to trim off some excess 'blank' footage and save just the portion that has content. While capturing, there were times when i didn't turn off EZ Grabber right away and it continued to capture blank footage.b) once i am happy with the footage, i wish to make a copy of excerpts of the footage to be used in a video that tells a story.c) i asked about what software to use being that i wasn't sure if EZ Grabber came with editing software, and if it did, what is the name of that editing software. I have a windows 7 OS and have microsoft office, windows media player, etc.2) after i complete steps 1a & 1b above, i would like to move the videos off of the hard drive because i am running low on hard drive space on the laptop and i have a few more videos that i need to capture off of video tapes.a) should i simply cut and paste the results from 1a above to a DVD-r disk?

I don't necessarily want to watch it off of the DVD in a standard DVD player just yet.b) regarding just having the video files on a DVD-r in a file format, i wish to have the files in that format so that i can edit it from that format later on.c) or would it be better to copy the footage onto a DVD-R and finalize the DVD-R to be played from a standard DVD player?thanks in advance.

If that's still too much for you then open it in and copy and paste a text readout of what it is. As it is now, you're just wasting people's time. Manono, please forgive me. If you prefer to ignore me, that's fine.

You do not need to post if it's wasting your time.the date i registered on this site is correct, however, i have not needed video assistance too often as i work full time outside of my home and have 3 young children, a husband and a cat. We captured our lives on the video cam and had never sat down to convert them into files until now.i did my share of searching the site for using specific search terms, but was unaware that the devices i have to my avail were outdated. I do not do video extraction on a full time basis - just a regular person who is very non-techy when it comes to computers.thank you for your post. For the record, the file type is.mpg.attention vapoeon800 'Brad' - if you'd be so kind as to comment on my queries, that would be great. Your earlier posts were extremely valuable and helped me get a lot of my videos converted.

You can test to make sure that the following components are working correctly and are not the source of the issue:.Serial cables.Serial ports.Serial devicesTo test your setup components, try the following:.Use the serial cable, serial port, and serial device in another setup to see if the problem is with the components or the setup.Use a different serial cable, serial port, and serial device in your setup to see if the problem persists. Ideally, you should test a component that you know works in another setup.When you test your cables, it is recommended that you do the following:.Test each cable individually.Use short cables when you are testing.When you test the serial ports and serial device, it is recommended that you do the following:.Press the Windows key + R, type devmgmt.msc, and press Enter to open Device Manager.

For example, COM1 to COM4.Perform a serial loopback test. See this FAQ on how to perform a RS-232 serial loopback test. To check whether or not an RS-232 serial port is working, perform an RS-232 loopback test by doing the following:. If your serial port is not female, convert it by taking a female/female cable or gender changer and plugging it into the serial port. Take a metal paperclip or wire and cross pins 2 and 3. If you look closely at the female end, the pins should be numbered.

Open a telnet session on the COM port number of the device that you are testing. To find out the COM port number, refer to the following FAQ:.Note: To open a telnet session on the COM port, you need a telnet client like PuTTY or Hyper Terminal.

Windows XP comes with Hyper Terminal. When the session is open, anything you type into it you should see.

The loopback test fails when you cannot see what you are typing.If the loopback test fails, make sure that the serial cable or gender changer that you are using works and that the adapter is in the correct port.You can check multiple ports at the same time by opening multiple sessions, putting the loopback adapter on one port, and trying to type into each session. When you can see what you are typing, you know that the COM port is working and you can see which port number the physical serial port is. Close the window for the port that you just tested to speed up the testing of the remaining serial ports.For products related to this article, click.
