Title: not worth the effort for video editing
Product review: I bought this card initially to use as a capture device in conjunction with an older camcorder. I was attracted by the video editing capability as a secondary use, thinking it might be fun. It's true that it is buggy, but if you go to the Pinnacle website, the support area has lots of info on how to work around them. Check it out before you buy! And after you've spent hours getting it to work right, the resulting edited video is never as good quality-wise as the original analog recording. Could be fun for the patient, determined hobbyist with a tight budget, though. If you are serious about video, spend the extra bucks on high end video editing software, or wait for writable DVD cameras. Additionally, the card does not support CUseeMe, only Netmeeting.
