video capture and editing devices

Pros: Compact/Simple/Easy to install. Device was detected on my first attempt and the resolution is also great. Works with Windows Movie Creator software.

Cons: Software Interface. Provided software crashed when I had the USB plugged in. Have to unplug & launch the software again. So, be ready to do in-&-out.

I worked for hours, followed all of Avermedia's reccomendations to optimize my cpu. I have a new 3ghz Dell and I could never get the audio to match the video. In the captured video the person would speak, 3 second later I hear them.

I ordered this item and had trouble getting it installed. Dell Computer tech supoport gave bad advice and I had trouble reaching AverMedia tech support. When I did, I finally got instruction on the proper connection and the capture works well. The MovieShop editing software (by Broderbund) included on the installation CD is very troublesome, but Windows Movie Maker can be used instead (bundled in WindowsXP). I raised my rating from 1 star to four, would be 5 if the MovieShop worked. Also, the cords are a bit short, but for the money, it's great equipment.
