The only reliable external video capture device. Period.
I did some research into external video capture devices, and everything seemed to point to the Canopus.I wasn't disappointed - it does an excellent job of capturing video, even on a 2-year old laptop.I have used it to capture about 4 hours of video tapes for transfer to DVDs.The video and audio quality was true to the originals, and I never had audio/video sync problems that apparently are common with non-Canopus equipment.I captured video in MPEG-2 format using the capture feature of Roxio Easy...

Right Choice for More Functions
After extensively reviewing all of the products available for analog/digital conversion, my reading assessment quickly determined that Canopus is the clear choice.There are numerous reviews which provide the basic information on this product.Here are a few details which are less obvious in the specs and reviews.It is a great product.I also looked very seriously at the ADVC 1394 which is a card rather than an external box.It is a little less expensive but does not provide as many input options.Specifically...

Works well, but not hot-pluggable.
The product has a warning sticker, "When you connect or remove the DV [Firewire] cable, please make sure the power of both PC and this product are off. This product will be damaged because of a voltage surge." I consider this unacceptable. A major feature of Firewire is its ability to connect and disconnect things without rebooting. I did in fact connect it without turning off my computer and nothing bad happened, but I suppose they could refuse to honor the warranty if it blew up.Otherwise, it...

Plug And Play, Serious!!
I must say this product is exactly as it says.I simply took it out of the package(Which I recieved in less than 24 hours with free shipping from Amazon.com) and plugged in the cables and went with it.It connected to Movie Maker 2 and I was off.I definitely recomend this to ayone looking to put old vhs movies onto DVD's for safe storage....

Foolproof, worked perfectly on first try
Why I needed this:I wanted to convert a bunch of my old tapes into DVDs, but when I read the reviews of those products, I was scared off by reports of myriad problems and glitches. The good reviews for the Canopus encouraged me to try it and I was not disappointed!How it works:The Canopus plugs into your PC's 1394 (Firewire) port (if your PC doesn't have one, you can get an add-on card for about $30).The Canopus has no software. You just plug in a few cables and turn it on. When I did that, Windows...
