Elgato PC/Mac/iPhone Video Capture, Capture analog video (White)

Q: I can see the input plugs, but what is the output plug? USB, Apple lightning?

It uses a USB Type A Connector for connection to a computer using the USB 2.0 or higher communication protocol. So it is forward compatible with the USB 3 and USB4 communications protocol. The USB Type C connector, however, is not backwards compatible with the simple USB 1.1 and 2.0 connectors. The simple work-around is to just use a USB mini hub or dock with three or four Type A receptacles and a USB C connector (instead of an adapter). It's likely to even cost less than a USB 3.x to USB C adapter (which won't work) anyways. Just make sure it's not a dedicated Thunderbolt 3 or 4 port. Thunderbolt 3 & 4 mainly & exclusively use the USB C connector (respectively), but Thunderbolt is a different protocol. (Macs with a USB C port AND one or more USB 3.x Type A ports, used the USB C for Thunderbolt only).

Q: What format is the converted file in? Can you change this to other formats (.AVI, .DVIX, ect)?

If you use VirtualDub you can output your video in different formats. I output to raw AVI so I can cut my video into smaller segments in Adobe Premiere without sacrificing quality. VHS quality is already so poor, I don't want to lose any of it by re-encoding mp4/h264 files.

Q: Can I transfer my VHS videos thru my Mac and save them all on an external hard drive to save space on my Mac?

Yes, the software will give you an option for a destination for the captured videos. Just make sure that the drive is hooked up when you run the software and select that drive as a destination. Depending on the speed of the connection (USB/FireWire/Thunderbolt), it may take from a little to a lot longer than to do it to your local HD. If that turns out to be very slow, and you want to do a lot of converting at one time, another option is just to save one video to your Mac's drive, and then move it to the external HD while you're converting the next movie.
