I have a VHS capture device ecap303 from climaxdigital used on windows 7 i am new to ubuntu but have used the command lsusb with the device connected and come up with
ID EBIA : 2861 EMPIA TECH INS
i understand that a driver for this device is written into ubuntu 12.10 but what software do i need to use the device to copy vhs tapes and make a dvd copy eg could i use mplayer or vlc media player
i hope you can help or suggest a better capture device that might be better
