Record video from component output to USB ?

Dears,

I have a camera that has only one output : Component (Three cables, each with RCA plugs at both ends, YPbPr (image attached)

I want to record video from this camera to desktop computer through USB, do you recommend any device ?

Regards

I've never used any but do see some component video to USB devices for around $10 on Amazon. That's inexpensive enough that I'd be tempted to give one a try and see what the quality is like.

Are you recording live or is this recorded?

here is a video recorder you can buy, I use one similar

@nattygreg thanks for the reply but the link not working , can you please title the product ?

@CompProbSolv Thanks

Just want to note that the output cables are ( Component video ) which use three cables as shown in the image attached in my first post

Eirman

A device like this will do everything you want ...
= Component + Audio to USB
= Analogue Video + Audio leads (L+R) to USB

Take note that the 3 component cables are video only.
You need a separate audio connection.

Nattygreg's link points to a Sabrent USB 2.0 Video/Audio Capture DVD Maker Adapter - USB 2.0, MPEG Encoder, Plug-n-Play which appears to have both component and S-Video inputs.
Eirman's link is even more flexible with component, composite, S-Video, and audio.
