GBEL Gato is way overrated I have owned several EL Gato products including a stream deck, a capture card and most recently the Wave 3 microphone. At one time paying a little more for EL Gato products seemed like a good choice, but with my experience it has not been the case. Over time all of the above products let me down with compatibility issues during software updates and poor tech support. The wave 3 sound quality become so bad I just got rid of it after less than a year of use. I tried everything, wasted a lot of time and in the end it just didn't do the job. That's kind of been my experience with all EL Gato products. Sad but true. I wouldn't buy from them again.

AUSuccessful digitisation of VHS tapes with Elgato Video Capture dongle I bought an Elgato Video Capture dongle from PLI Computers in Melbourne Australia and it has worked really well. I was able to copy all my VHS tapes over to my laptop without any issues at all. Loading the software was a bit cumbersome but once it was on the laptop it was literally plug and play. Well worth the money.

GBI bought the El Gato Video Capture less… I bought the El Gato Video Capture less than a year ago used it about 3 times and it stopped working. I contacted customer support and for 89.00 they have been giving me the run around for over a month. I have complied with their 10-step analysis process to see what is wrong with the software and to this date, there is no resolution. This is the worst case of customer service I have ever had—no offer to replace it with a new product or refund. Just email after email and it seems like Im communicating with a Bot half the time. They just want me to give up to wipe me off the list. The product was a huge waste of money and time. Also when you call the customer service number no one ever picks up.

GBSuch a pain in the a-se! Video capture: When it works it's great, but often for no reason there's just 'no signal' and only sound. Closing everything down might get it working again, but when one VHS tape gives 'no signal' (no picture) then this carries over to other videos as well so you don't know what videos are good and what are bad. For the cost of this product it needs some serious sorting out and debugging.
