There was even a review on a similar product in PC World

You sure your not using firewire?


Another easy option is just to plug a video player into a DVD recorder using the RCA connections and dub from one to the other.

Failing that, if you are planning on buying a capture card you'll get editing and capture software with it on the CD. If you already have a card and can't find any other software, Windows MovieMaker has a "capture from device" option.

What ever option you use, set it to the highest quality and least amount of compression you can to keep as much of the picture quality as possible.

780609 2009-06-09 11:56:00 That USB connector -- Got a customer who brought one from Hardly Normals - Must admit I was a bit skeptical :rolleyes: - but he ran a VHS tape and bugger me it came out fine - only thing it was HUGE -- a 30 minute(approx) Video on VHS came out to around 6GB on the Laptop :eek:

Saw part of the actual VHS and the quality of the DVD was the same, and in sync - software was very limited though on alterations.

780610 2009-06-09 12:11:00 That's the device I got from Dealextreme . com for $US12 . 51 delivered . I used NCH software's Debut Video Cap (free) for the capture .

Must get a VCR track that will show sound sync to check it .

Could processor power come into it??
