I am not familiart with other products like this, but this does what it says it will. The instructions are not too clear. There are several patches you must download to make it work with Windows Vista. Not real user friendly.
Rating: - $100 you shouldn't spend
I have to agree with the other 1 star user. This device falls very short on picture quality in all formats. The Pinnacle software that comes with this hardware is weak at best. I'm not saying it won't work. What I'm saying is it is very unstable and takes several attempts to get what you want. The worst part about each attempt is it may fail after 25 minutes into the video.
I have 3GB of 600Mhz RAM and a 256MB video card so it can't be starving for resources.
I would have returned it ... Read More

I have been working with this product for months and have only gotten lousy video captures from it from several formats -- VHS, DVD, and laserdisc.

Yet after all this time and after talking to half of India and finding no workable setting or form of input, I am done with this rotten waste of money. ... Read More
Rating: - Exactly what I was looking for- all purpose video capturing
If you're looking for something to capture analog video, this is it. I haven't tried the software, but the unit works wonderfully. It captures VCR/ DVD whatever. It is analog, not digital, but works wonderfully. Would definitely buy one again. Software looks decent too.
Rating: - good product
this is tough for me to review as I haven't used any hardware/software like it. with that said, I found it easy to use (keep in mind I'm 37 and not real computer literate). most of the stuff I did was VCR to DVD and the quality was only good - likely due to the old tape and cheap VCR player. I'd buy it again.
