Title: Easy to use, CAN capture analog video
Product review: Dropped the card into a PCI slot. Followed the instructions in the manual to the letter, including not allowing Windows 2000 to install drivers on hardware auto detect. Captured analog video from a Hi8 tape playing in an ancient video camera: RCA ProView V712 circa 1996. My system: Windows 2000 on a home-built box, P4 with 512MB RDRAM, two 20GB IDE disks.Two hours after I opened the box, I had a two minute clip posted on my web site, in both Windows Media and Real Player formats. Rarely have I had so positive an experience from an end-user product.My only complaint is that my *very first* video capture had a one second blip where the sound cut out. Whatever!If you are a non-professional who wants to rip video from your old tapes and get them into digital format, then this is the product for you.
