Video Capture Device (full title Weezer - Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991-2002) is the Weezer DVD. It contains footage of a lot of live gigs from early stages of their musical career, right up until 2002. The DVD also contains all of the Weezer music videos from The Blue Album until Maladroit but does not include material from Make Believe since the album was released after the DVD. Bonus footage features the band backstage, on-stage, in the recording studio and in interviews.

[edit] Trivia
- The chapters "Saction" and "Weezer goes to Van Nuys: The Making of Pinkerton" include snippets of the never-before-heard song "Superfriend," a song that would not be officially released until the 2007 demo album Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo.
- Brief snippets of unheard, unreleased songs "No Way" and "No More Confusin" can be heard during the "Stoopid Fresh" chapter.
- The keyboardist playing during "Prodigy Lover" is Ryan Maynes, aka Shmedley.
- Deleted scenes and extra footage were released via the band's official website and are still available for free download in the media archive.
- The commentary tracks on the DVD were recorded on September 11th, 2002.
- On the audio commentary for Keep Fishin' the band refers to Muppets creator Jim Henson as "the guy who died" and laments that Muppeteer Frank Oz is "also no longer with us" despite the fact Oz is alive and well. The band may have been confusing Oz with Richard Hunt, who is in fact deceased.
[edit] Easter Egg
- Highlighting "Maladroit" on the TV Promos section and pressing right will make a large =w= symbol appear. Click on it to see the bonus feature "Wig Fishin" featuring Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo wearing a long blonde wig during an appearance on British television program Popworld. The European edition of the DVD is lacking this bonus feature.
[edit] Sales
The DVD debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Music Video charts and has sold 78,968 copies as of October 2005.[1] It is thus certified as a Gold selling DVD.
