Summary: works for me
Review: I've used this with a laptop to capture video from a VCR. It has worked perfectly for this. No problems experienced.
I haven't used the software that comes with it for anything other than capture, so I can't comment on it.
It doesn't capture a very high resolution, and it can't output to a VCR, but it doesn't claim to.
For the price I paid, it does a pretty good job. Its a decent, entry level, hobbyist, video capture device. It's not for professionals, but it does what it claims to.

Summary: Waste of Money, and Time
Review: Im not sure about the features and software as I could never get the product to work. The packaged software MovieStar crashed on start up everytime. I tried using other programs to capture, and no input was detected. When I tried to install the latest drivers for the product the installation froze each time. Average size AV cables (I tried two different sets)do not sit firmly in the device's inputs. The PC I am using is brand new and well above the minimum specifications and running XP. In case you havnt read it elsewhere, customer support is...well just don't bother, no toll free line, and outrageous wait time. E-mail responses are unhelpful at best.
Overall just dont bother with this product. Two thumbs down...way down

Summary: Crap
Review: Packaged software crashed every time. Tried to upgrade from the website...poorest customer service since the old days of Apple. I have had this thing for over a year and have only been able to transfer about 15 minutes of tiny screen size video. This was a waste of my money. Save yourself the headache. I'll get more satisfaction cramming this device down the garbage disposal than I ever did transferring videos of my children.
