- Comments: New egg was the least expensive of all places I shopped, and it arrived exactly when they said it would. Easy to set up, has many options, so still learning which format is best for me. Just bought a high end JVC DVD player that plays everything but DivX format. I have been unable to find a DivX DVD player, but it plays back great on my computer and looks wonderful. You better have a fast processor, as it consumes all your processor's time. I run a AMD 1.8ghz, 512mb ram, it stays at 95%-99% during capture, any other activity will lock up the program. It says so in the directions and it does. The free Titan TV guide is great. Good tuner, beats my old "P" card. Best bang (picture) for the bucks.
not compatible with all cable systems
- Pros: When it works, it works well. Most video programming will be recorded flawlessly. Included software is good for beginner level.
- Cons: Will not work with all cable system signals. For example, Comcast in Boston does not work. Does not capture action movies or cartoons well (single-pass encoding).

Good Video Capture for Windows XP Only
- Pros: It is very good deal with the rebate and provides decent video capture capability and PVR. It is USB and can handle multiple video sources such as composite,AV and coax cable.
- Cons: Not forwared compatible with new operating systems like vista and service packs and updates. It only works with Windows XP and with provided WinDVR Version 5 which is going to be obsolete. As per Plextor tech support they will not update drivers for Vista or WinDVR updates any longer so you will be your own if conflict/problems arrise.
- Other Thoughts: For the same amount of money checkout ATI Wonder USB 650
Good converter
- Pros: You can save file in DIVX format. Picture quality is above average.
- Cons: Need a PC with high clock rate (>1.6 GHz) to save file in DIVX format. I thought that due to the H/W Codec, I can use an older PC to capture the video. Since it requires a faster PC to capture at a lower bit rate. I think S/W has to do a lot of processing so H/W codec is king of misleading.
Perfect!
- Pros: On the go encoding to make smaller files. Software included with it works fine and has a lot of features. Small but powerful.
- Cons: Haven't found any yet.
- Other Thoughts: I use this to record games off of my Playstation 3. Given, I must do it in SD, but it still is nice. I just split the AV signals and hardly any integrity is lost.

Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
