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.

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 but I never got around to it. I'll be yanking my old video capture card and using it. I would recommend getting a capture card and using it for a better quality of video. My old capture card was very cheap but compared to this hardware it is night and day different. If you have bad vision and everything is blurry already this may be the device for you!!!! If they are precious memories your looking to backup then steer clear of this device.

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. This is not the first capture device I've used; I was very happy with my WinTV PVR until Mr. Bill Gates and his Windows Vista OS rendered that obsolete; so I have plenty of experience with such equipment. 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. One more item for the Vista scrapheap.
