Not Bad

from U.S.A.

I had to download an updated driver from the Pinnacle website because my version of Vista (64-bit) didn't immediately recognize it. Not too big a deal for me, but like other reviewers have mentioned, I imagine that it would be a bigger inconvenience to less computer-savvy users. The software can be a little confusing to figure out at first, but once you get past the initial learning curve it's actually not too difficult to use.

Performance seems just fine, no lagging or unusual problems for me (I'm using a dual-core system with 4Gb of memory). The time it takes to convert/export movies also seems perfectly acceptable.

The only real problem I have with this product is the $93 price tag it normally has. However, I purchased this at Best Buy at the sale price of $59.99, a much better value considering what's included. For $93 I would expect an actual add-in card instead of a USB interface or perhaps more feature-packed software.

Once you get past the setup and get the hang of the software, I think most users would find that it's an overall good product. It could use a permanent price drop, but I still recommend it.

What's great about it: Great video quality, overall easy to use (once you get past the initial setup)

What's not so great: Required immediate download of updated driver to work, initial learning curve for software may be confusing to some

I would recommend this to a friend!
