Title: Drops a lot of frames, software very limited
Product review: I purchased one of these in order to archive my old VHS tapes to DVD-ROMs. Setup was rather easy and straightforward. Upon capturing video, however, I noticed that a lot of frames were being dropped. Having shut down every non-essential task in Windows XP (running on a 2.2GHz AMD 64 with 2 GB RAM and 2 SATA 7200 RPM Hard drives), I tried again. Serious frame loss still took place; around 10 frames at a time would be dropped and an average of 30% of all frames were lost in a 640x480 video capture at 30 fps.I used Windows Movie Maker; the software supplied with the unit was difficult to use and did not seem to yield better results.I would strongly discourage purchasing this unit.
