I honestly cannot think of a single thing compatibility mode has ever fixed for me. I tried 'compatibility mode' and it make zero difference. I didn't have enough time to do an extended recording, but it appears that, the biggest problem is Windows 10. I tried it with my ancient windows 7 laptop and it works. It took awhile to wash it through handbrake and turn it in to a easier to handle size. But, for 45 minutes of video it was a 55gb avi file. Still no preview screen, but it records and gives me a usable file. After a little bit of digging I was lead to trying a third party program, virtualdub. I tried a shorter tape (45 minutes) and the resulting file was 5 seconds long. If you record it does try to record video. I open up the ez grabber software and it gives me audio, but there is no video preview. It's a Diamond VC500 it even has 'compatible with windows 10' written on the box, but, with the software provided, it does not work for me.
