VIDBOX Video Conversion For PC – A Closer Inspection That’s a good thing and (as you will discover) a bad thing as well. What we have here is a video grabber capture box that makes the process of transferring VHS cassettes to MP4 or DVD a simple breeze without having to worry over any technical issues. Oh well, in the end that doesn’t reflect on this PC version of the VIDBOX. These are the same products that Honestech had, not longer than a year ago. I’m sure the driver software is different for each product, then again, maybe not. Packaging is different, product looks the same. On their product page they have four products listed, and I must say, they all look the same. Now things have changed where the company is now just calling themselves VIDBOX. ![]() VIDBOX the company has managed to simplify a capture box and also the software that comes packaged with it.īut first if I could tell you a little story, it doesn’t feel that long ago that I reviewed the DC60 Eas圜AP which came with software from Honestech. Ubuntu 18.04.1 information about the Eas圜AP device I bought via eBay:īus 003 Device 011: ID 1c88:0007 Somagic, Inc.If I had one word to describe the VIDBOX Video Conversion for PC it will be small.

I’m not even sure if the driver will even work in Windows 10 with Driver Signature Enforcement disabled. You can search to disable Driver Signature Enforcement in Windows 10, but it will make your system less secure / more prone to malware. Compare this with C:\Windows\System32\drivers\storahci.sys which is signed. That means it is not “signed” which is required for Windows 10 kernel drivers. You will note there is no “Digital Signatures” tab. ![]() ![]() The Somagic device driver is installed in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\smiusbgrabber3f.inf_amd64_62fdac16904230b7\SmiUsbGrabber3F.sys.

The lack of firmware is why “VLC 3.0.4 Vetinari” can work with some Eas圜AP hardware (those with built-in firmware) but not others. Once the firmware is loaded, the device ID changes to 1c88:003c. The Somagic 1c88:0007 is one such device (there may be others). Some do not store the required firmware in EEPROM but expect the driver to feed the firmware into the USB hardware when inserted. There are many different versions of hardware sold under the name of "Eas圜AP". ![]()
