I had a lot of problems finding a "safe" driver to my Windows Pro x64 machine including a nefarious BSOD each time I plugged the USB device.
-
Try to use a USB 3.0 port (to make sure that you have enough current to power the device and the maximum bandwidth - I know that is a USB 2.0 device but you don't lose anything trying). Also, when capturing video try to disconnect any adjacent USB devices near to prevent interferences.
-
If you want to buy a similar EasyCap device, I strongly recommend finding another better alternatives. It's a low-cost device with poor capabilities and the audio hardware it's almost unusable
-
To capture video, use VirtualDub , and make sure that you select the correct input source
