Good bang for the buck but be ready to spend a lot of time figuring out what is going on. As one person said "try this with low priced discs" and when you feel confident you can try the 8.5GB disc. You will burn a lot of coasters getting up to speed with this package. The software is not user friendly and support, well let's just say I received the most help from reading the Roxio Q&A information. This actually saved me a lot of grief and my first install was right on the money Not the easiest software to use but the capture device works well.

In principle this should be a nice simple process, but handling video on PCs does seem to be a technical-problem minefield, so I wouldn't want to offer any guarantees! In the past I've spent rather more than this Roxio package on a hardware/software bundle from Pinnacle to capture video, and it consistently generated video files with lip-sync problems. Hopefully things have moved on from that sort of rubbish.
