This EZCap FAILED an important test! Cheap USB Video Capture A/V performance.
As a followup to my "Cheap USB Video Capture" video, I sent both Video and Audio test signals into this USB 2.0 Video Capture device to see how well the S-Video, Composite Video, and Left and Right Audio fared.
The generic video capture device being tested is an EZCap style USB2 dongle sold on Ebay under a listing titled:
USB 2.0 Audio TV Video VHS to DVD VCR PC HDD Converter Adapter Capture Card
Test signals include colors bars and several tests taken from the Sound & Vision Home Theater Tune-Up Video. UPC 647715079022
I also do an audio frequency sweep taken from the NAB Broadcast and Audio System Test CD. This was manufactured by DENON Digital Industries for the National Association of Broadcasters in 1988.
This video was intentionally uploaded at 480p with a 4x3 aspect ratio to match the native output of the Video Capture device.

I put a small LBC price on this vid, as it is also being shared as bonus footage for supports on Patreon, Subscribestar, and YT channel members. However, 1 LBC isn't too expensive! Enjoy.

A lot of bloopers can accumulate over a year, and the 3rd year of ThriftyAV was no exception! This is the "longer" version of the blooper reel for supporters willing to contribute 1LBC to this channel. Compared to the "free" version, this has over 4 extra minutes of funny goofs and mistakes that happened while shooting ThriftyAV content over the past year. The shorter "free" version will go live on Friday 6/24.

Original Released as an unlisted YouTube video for Patrons, I am now making this available for 1 LBC to LBRY supporters.
My publicly posted "Willys Jeep Ride" video was a complete re-shoot. Different intro, different Jeep route, and a slightly different concept.
Instead of the Jeep ride being a single continuous shot to showcase the image stabilization of the action cam, I originally intended to have B-roll cutaways more like what you see here. There are some problems with the footage I used here, namely AUDIO, but with some voice-over work, a few nat sounds from my B-roll camera, and a music bed, the footage is certainly salvageable! Thank you for being a Patron, Enjoy!
All three music tracks are Nat Keefe & Hot Buttered Rum
1. Billy in the Lowground
2. St. Anne's Reel
3. Cats Searching for the Truth
These tracks were sourced from the YouTube Audio Library.

TIME-
time-lapse-of-texas-country-morning
I recorded two mornings in a row with the Campark V30 set on a tripod, with the frame interval set at 0.5 seconds. This camera creates a 30fps file in time lapse mode, so this creates a 15x effect.
I then adjust the time lapse further in post production, simulating what several of the 9 possible time lapse frame intervals would look like.
Looking across the field in early March was inspiring to me. I'm pretty happy with the results I got with this experiment, so I wanted to share it.
The Campark V30 is available through the following Amazon Affiliate link:

@juggalo:a was shocked by the poor quality of the microphone from Ollie's. I've discovered that electronic items from that store are hit and miss, with more misses than hits! Thank you for your input @juggalo

At ThriftyAV, I work hard to keep costs down, however I'm reviewing gear on a regular basis, and those expenses do add up. I also have the expense of my camera and editing gear, and there's also the cost of the website. I also failed to mention travel costs associated with my thrifting "road trips."
I appreciate the patrons who support my channel; however some folks do not have a Patreon account, or do not want to incur regular monthly charges. So that's why ThriftyAV is now accepting Bitcoin contributions. The QR code is on the video and the address is below. Thank you to the contributors and viewers of ThriftyAV.
