Comment: Good for home made video ! Rating:
$43 dollars for a video capture card. What else you can ask for? This product is very good for home made video. I emphasized again, the quality is for home made video, not for industrial usage. I am very happy with this product, so I gave 5 stars. Now is the time to review this product. If you are looking for something can convert your old VHS to DVD or VCD, this is the best product with the lowest price. I read so many reviews about the external and internal PCI video capture card. I decided to try the avermedia EZmake DVD PCI card. Because the price is low and reviews are good. If it didn't work, I almost got nothing to lose. Well, my decision was right! It is a big surprise that this card really works. It converted my wedding VHS to high resolution VCD with no problem. The vcd is better than other MTV vcd. The following are some important information that you guys need to know in order to make your VCD and DVD sucessfully with this card.
1. Make sure you have a at least Pentinum 4 class machine. I don't care it is P4 1.0 ghz or P4 3.2 ghz. Just P4 minimum. Otherwise your system will crash. If you have PIII class, forget about any conversion or video capture project. Upgrade your machine first. I can tell you none of the video capture product can work in the market in the PIII class cpu.
2. You need at least 512MB Ram. Beleive me, although it is not the minimum requirement but it will save you a lot of time and make the conversion more smooth.
3. Get Nero6.0 burn or 5.0 ****DO NOT USE THE BUNDLE SOFTWARE TO BURN YOUR CAPTURE VIDEO IN THE HARD DRIVE****.
4. USE THE BUNDLE NEODVD SOFTWARE TO CAPTURE VIDEO ONLY. Convert your VHS to either VCD or DVD with the bundle software then use the Nero5.0 or 6.0 to burn on disc from the hard drive.
I made a perfect copy in 30 mins by using this method. I have P4 1.6G with 512MB Ram. The card cost me $ 43 with free shipping in Amazon, Video audio cable cost $ 8 total $ 51 to finish my project. Store charge me $ 60 to $ 80 to convert my wedding VHS to VCD. Now I spent only $ 51 and I have the card to do other project in the future. It worth ! I suggest any person have the same situation as me. Go ahead to buy this card.
Good luck !

Comment: Works great. Easy setup Rating:
This card works great as specified in its product description.
It creates MPEG2, MPEG1, or VCD output files. It also creates the DVD-Video files that can be burned into DVD right away. Video quality is good. I used the boundled software for video capturing purpose. I used Nero 6 for DVD burnning. You can specify the time duration for each video capturing. Based on the time duration that you specified, the software tells you how big the video file would be. This is a nice feature in case your video source is too long to fit into a single DVD or CD (for VCD or SVCD).
With only $29.99 per card, I think this is a very good deal. I highly recommend this product to my friends.

Comment: No tech support Rating:
I bought this card based on these reviews.
After installing the card and driver, the card
could not recognize the driver. I have called
and emailed tech support many times and get
no response.
