I was using this to capture the saved DVR episodes from my DTV-DVR with the hopes of putting shows on DVDs.
First, the capture does NOT read the yellow analog input. You must "trick" it into using the s-video. The s-video ONLY works if you save in certain formats (.mpeg, .avi) which are the larger formats. The video quality is excellent if you are willing to have huge file sizes (10 minutes will be larger than 250 MB).
THE SOUND!?!?!??!?! An absolute joke. Of course you must adjust the input level lower than MAX, which is the default, but ANY FILE LONGER THAN 8-10 MINUTES AND THE SOUND NO LONGER SYNCS WITH THE VIDEO. I did a show that was 50+ minutes long and by the end of it, the sound was a full 4-5 seconds behind the video. TERRIBLE. I had to save it in sections of 10 Minutes at a time and then edit it together myself. AND I DID NOT USE THEIR LACKING SOFTWARE. Don't use it, it is pathetic. I had to use the windows installed Movie Maker, which was great.
Summation: If you want cheap cost and you only have short videos, buy this product. If you want longer videos and possibly burn them onto DVDs, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.Get more detail about USB2.0 DV/TV/VHS/DVD Camcorders Video Audio Capture AV Adapter card Win 2000, XP, vista compatible H35.
