'''''Weezer - Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991-2002''''' (or simply '''''Video Capture Device''''', abbreviated '''''VCD''''') is [[Weezer]]'s only proper video release.

==Overview==
The ''VCD'' was compiled by [[Karl Koch]], and released on [[March 23]], [[2004]], on the same day as the Deluxe Edition of ''[[The Blue Album]]''. The DVD was accompanied by [[Video Capture Device booklet|a booklet with liner notes]] on each video. Aside from all of the band's promotional music videos from that album through ''[[Maladroit]]'', it also contains rare live performances, interviews, TV commercials, backstage moments, and documentary footage of the making of albums and videos.  It even includes some hilarious band member antics caught on tape, paticularly those of [[Patrick Wilson]], and Koch edited two new videos for "[[Pink Triangle]]" and "[[Slob]]" using material he'd shot over the years. 

Chapters "Saction" and "Weezer goes to Van Nuys: The Making of Pinkerton" include snippets of the then-unheard 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 then-unheard and unreleased songs, "[[No Way]]" and "[[No More Confusin']]", can be heard during the "Stoopid Fresh" chapter.

Select videos feature commentary tracks from [[Patrick Wilson]], [[Scott Shriner]], [[Karl Koch]], and [[Brian Bell]]. These were recorded on [[September 11]], [[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 (though he has largely retired from puppeteering and did not perform in the "Keep Fishin" video). The band may have been confusing Oz with Richard Hunt, who is, in fact, deceased.

As of early [[2009]], Koch has spoken of making another DVD.{{Citation needed}}

===Easter egg===
Highlighting ''Maladroit'' on the TV Promos section and pressing right will make a large [[Flying =W=]] symbol appear.  Clicking on it allows you to see the bonus feature "Wig Fishin'" featuring [[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.
