    It is a very good product but it wanted to see a certain class of simple directions in the use of the product. Hatred to use hidden clasificaci? ? n: 4/5

    Pros:
    - The quality of the recording audio video/is good.

    Against:
    - You will not be able to see the source beforehand video in of total screen, this software was made to only register.
    - You will not be able to use this hardware like entrance of video for the other software in his mac!

    He would be happy with this product if they determined this software, and I say & quot; fix& quot; because I feel that not to have a way to beforehand see v?deo/el audio of the entrance in of total screen with an OPTION registering is a main one HE FUMIGATES!
    Degree: 3/5

    I want to convert some long six hour VHS tapes BUT the software timer wont allow me to set a custom or 6 hour timer so I have to monitor the recording also and a big problem for me is the output MP4 does NOT play back on a PS3 ! the sound works but the picture is black. . . . . imagine dubbing a bunch of six hour tapes just to discover your media server (ps3) will not play back the file. . . . IF they ever fix the problem you will need to reconvert the tape again! I posted the problem on their support forum and still no response about it. . . you would think with a new product they would want user feedback and acknowledge a fix to the problem. The product itself is clean and very simple to use , the software for it needs work. . . I will update this review if things are fixed.
    UPDATE(7/31/09): Still does not work with the PS3 and elgato may never make it work because that would be a ” feature ” . Timer functions have not been addressed either. Basically this product gets very little software support or attention from elgato. . . . with MILLIONS of PS3’s hooked to HD tv’s you would think you would want your MP4’s to play on them.
    zero stars until this is fixed.
    UPDATE(9/20/09): Still does NOT work with the PS3 ! un frickin real.
    UPDATE(11/29/09): Still NO PS3 support! – and ElGato removed me from their forums because of this review. Instead of fixing the product they delete the poster who brought it to light — very laughable. . . . . ZERO STARS for this LEMON of a product and I no longer trust ElGato as a vendor.

    Elgato video capture is a simple device to use. The software is easy and immediate to understand.
    Unfortunately after long discussions with Elgato Technical support I have concluded that the sotware/hardware has still some basic problems that can’t be solved without a major modification of the software/hardware.
    For low quality video the quality of results is not acceptable. The decoded video shows continuous changes in luminosity that are purely linked to the Elgato system. Connecting the exit of the video camera to a monitor no problem can be seen.
    The same problems occur using the Elgato system in different computers (so it is not linked to the perfomance of the computer).
    No solution has been given by Elgato Technical Support after several movie examples have been shipped to them. The only suggestion is to return the device. Unfortunately the device in more than one month old so no way to get it back. And local dealers (Germany) do not see big problems as in some tapes the system works!
    I think that it is mostly a software problem that does not occur if you use high quality s-Video input. Unfortunately this device has been thought to import old tapes and videos so I would say that unless some improvements are introduced by Elgato this makes this device useless for importing old movies.
