It gets the job done overall. It frequently bugs when I try to export footage to MPEG2, forcing me to use MP4 or WMV. I also found it obnoxious that I had to connect to the internet in order to install the software; what is the bloody point of an installation disk if one still must connect to the internet? Granted, mine was a special circumstance (I had just moved and had to wait a few days for internet to be hooked up).
At any rate, I have dubbed more than one hundred tapes and the equipment has worked well enough so far.
This product enabled me to easily transfer my Hi8 movies from my camcorder to my computer. The quality of the image was reduced a little, but at least I can now edit my video footage and then put it onto DVD to share.
