Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Works well. Not a high-end card, though.
When I first opened the box and looked at the details, there were two things that concerned me right away:

1) The card does not capture audio. It requires that the audio signal is routed through your sound card.

2) The card lists several capture formats, but it's important to note that the various formats are available via *software*. i.e., it appears that the card itself just captures frames, and it's the Pinnacle Studio software that does the conversion into DV/MPEG/etc. ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Very Happy
Purchased two of these boards to capture video through the PC. Software that came with the board was current. Easy installation. Opened capture software and had camera image. Worked great! Price was the lowest I found on the web and shipping was on-time.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Works as Advertised
I think this is a great kit for the price. The card and software installed with no major issues, and the analog video capture from my old camcorder works great. Captures in AVI or MPEG, and the editing software is pretty cool. You'll want to upgrade 1GB of memory. I only have 512MB and it starts swapping during editing.

Otherwise, I highly recommend this product.
