Rating: - Best Piece of Video Equipment I Ever Purchased
I cannot recommend this product highly enough. I have a lot of old Hi-8 and S-VHS videotapes that I need to transfer to digital format. I have tried several analog to digital converters and none of them worked very well. Up until I discovered the Canopus ADVC-300 I found that the best way to do the conversion was by passing the video through a high quality digital camera. But even with the best cameras frame drops were always a problem.
But not with the ADVC-300. After hundreds ... Read More
Rating: - Canopus works
This video converter works great with my iMac. Video conversion is flawless and works well with imovie.
The only negative feature is the manual control buttons on the converter. They are very hard to use if you have not been trained professionally. This negative is overcome by the software which has the controls in a more user friendly interface which you can control from your desktop. The documentation could be improved by providing examples for the use of the control features. ... Read More
Rating: - Product works well. Service good
The Canopus ADCV 300 is an easy box to set up, and after an early problem, it worked quite well.

It turns out that the problem was with my video card driver and not with the unit, or its software, ... Read More
Rating: - Top Rated Analog to Digital Converter
This is one of the best devices to use for converting analog type video, such as old VHS camcorder footage, to digital video that can be edited and transferred to DVDs. Digital camcorders previously had built-in converters that could do this conversion, but many newer models don't. See a good description at Videoguys website.
Canopus has basically taken an internal computer card and put it in an external box so that you don't have to fool around with the guts of your computer. A power converter ... Read More
Rating: - Manufacture is greedy
This piece of equipment was better in it's previous form. The new one no longer comes with a power supply, you are supposed to get that from your firewire card. However if you are using a laptop, and I am, you would have to purchase an additional power supply from the manufacturer, at $35+ shipping and tax. To me this is completely unnaccaptable. They make no mention of it anywhere. They should give to people who ask for it for free. Heck at that point you have already shelled out $250 for this thing ... Read More
