Roxio VHS to DVD 3 Plus takes Left, Right + Video inputs and gives a USB plug. How do I mount a video device from this?
I plug in the device and play a VHS tape. An input device shows up in my XFCE Pulse Audio Plugin's Volume Control > Input Devices tab, as "Roxio Video Capture USB Analog Stereo", and the GUI indicates that audio is coming through. (I haven't piped the audio through so I can hear it, yet, but at this point I'm assuming it works.)

Based on this superuser post, I was expecting some logs like:
<not my output>
em28xx #0: Identified as Pinnacle Dazzle DVC 90/100/101/107 / Kaiser Baas Video to DVD maker / Kworld DVD Maker 2 (card=9)

em28xx #0: V4L2 video device registered as video1
em28xx #0: V4L2 VBI device registered as vbi0</ not my output>
Had I gotten this output, I would have then tried using VLC to stream off of /dev/video1.
That post implied this would be found in /var/log/messages.log, but https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=204837 implies I should be looking in journalctl. journalctl has ~the same log lines as dmesg, and no references to em28xx.
Neither this chat message nor this historical lament give me much hope, but this linuxtv.org #Making it work suggests "To make it work, some have to do modprobe em28xx card=2 to make sound work properly. It's video compression format is YUY2." My sound already works, but maybe em28xx is what I need? <grasping at straws>
First, as done on that page,
$ usb-devices

I: If#=0x2 Alt= 1 #EPs= 1 Cls=01(audio) Sub=02 Prot=00 Driver=snd-usb-audioNote that that page said this output worked [after] `modprobe em28xx...` and mine worked before. The line that concerns me is `I: If#=0x0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 4 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=00 Prot=ff Driver=(none)`. Looks like I'm missing a driver? Except the output on that page had the same line with `Driver=(none)`.
Also, [can't remember what gave me the idea to run this, but whatever]

A friend recommended I `tree /dev`, plug in the device, `tree /dev` again, and diff the results. I've done that, and I think the results confirm that only a sound device is being mounted.

linuxtv.org has this in category 'DVB-T USB Devices' and I just realized DVB-T may be the right thing to search to find a driver. Indeed, the Arch wiki has an entry. So I tried loading the three modules.
$ sudo modprobe dvb_usb_rtl28xxu
$ sudo modprobe rtl2830
$ sudo modprobe rtl2832Unfortunately, after an unplug-replug, dmesg has nothing further to say and /dev/dvb/ still does not exist. Additionally, `/etc/modprobe.d/rtlsdr.conf` does not exist, so it isn't the RTL-SDR blacklist problem mentioned on the page.
This appears to be another dead-end.

The guy on the Ubuntu chat thread, who I thought had written kernel code to make this work, got back to me. He never did get this to work. https://chat.stackexchange.com/rooms/83 … than-osman
I assume no one ever will. So, if you found yourself here because you haven't bought it yet, and you wanted to make sure it would work, first: Don't buy it.
