5Love this product!!!  Nov 30, 2008
Finally able to convert old family movies to my macbook to create and edit movies that can be put on CD's for the family to easily watch.

1WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME  Nov 16, 2008
Learn from my mistakes. Degraded video, loss of sync, does not work with iMovie. Spend the bucks and go with the Canopus ADVC55.

5Awesome Capture Card!  Nov 01, 2008
I didn't knew Amazon had this item till i fount out by a friend. As soon as i heard i rushed to buy it, what was more surprising was that it was cheap! i placed it in my cart, but i didn't had any money...haha

2 to 3 days later i added money to my card and bought it, i got the overnight shipment and it is infact overnight, i couldn't even sleep!

nice product dough!

I WOULD RECOMMEND IT!

2Not what I hoped for.  Aug 10, 2008
Ultimately, I was disappointed in this product.

THE GOOD: I purchased this for a friend who is not very computer literate, but she was able to install it and transfer some video without problems.

THE BAD: Her primary use was to transfer VHS videos of family events which she would put onto DVD to preserve them as well as make copies for other family members. The problem is, the quality of the transfer is poor at best. The unit captures the original video onto the computer as an MP4 into iTunes. There is no option to transfer it at a better quality or into iMovie (which would have made more sense). We burned the captured video using iDVD and played it back on a regular 19 inch TV. I was shocked at how poor the quality was. The audio was a bit tinny, but worse was the video. I flipped back and forth between the original VHS and the new DVD and the picture from the DVD was probably 30-40% worse than the original material.

Since this gets transfered into iTunes, maybe the quality would be okay for playback on a 2 inch screen on a Video iPod, iPhone or maybe on YouTube, but if you plan to watch it on a TV, I'd suggest spending more money and get a better capture device... particularly if you want to preserve family memories or other material that is important to you.

1LOUSY VIDEO TRANSFER  Aug 09, 2008
The Pinnacle Video Capture for Mac is a waste of money. I used Dazzle years ago with an iMac and it was fine. This new device for Mac does not let my VCR sync with my MacBookPro ( Tiger ). It lags a few seconds behind in both video and audio and then the computer tries to play catch-up which it is not able to do. So the results are full of pixels trying to form an image. Pinnacle's support services have been very annoying since they have continually told me they could not read my emails to them and have asked me to send in my complaint 3 times. Are they trying to discourage me ??
I had great hopes for this product ( not really cheap ) and have been very disappointed. I could not recommend this product.
