5 out of 5 stars Amazing   August 20, 2008
I couldn't be more happy with this I was planing on just using it to see if I could capture me playing Xbox on it. I was a little worried it wouldnt work but it did and perfect with excellent quality videos and audio works fine for a second it didnt but then it started working. I recommend buying this its great. I'm going to be putting some videos on youtube my name is bam902 on it so check out my vids for an example of what u can do with this.


5 out of 5 stars Does exactly what I wanted it to do...and well!!   August 18, 2008
I bought the Diamond VC500 to transfer a boatload of VHS tapes that I've been dying to trash, but can't part with for sentimental reasons. This little guy does exactly what I needed it to, and easily. Plug the outs into your VCR (or old school camcorder, for that matter), plug in the USB, and you're recording in no time. Definitely make sure you have enough computer resources to capture longer recordings, but otherwise, it's just perfect! You even have the option to capture s-video with this thing. I've been ripping for about a month now, with no problems to mention.


2 out of 5 stars Captures video, but too much pixelation   August 16, 2008
This product does capture video, but has limited options for the quality of the captured video. Even at highest quality, captured video is overly pixelated (e.g., color blocks throughout motion scenes).


5 out of 5 stars Great for quick and simple video capture!   August 6, 2008
I bought this to transfer some old VHS tapes to DVD. It is so simple and absolutely worked great. The videos I ended up with looked just as good or better than the tapes. The included Ulead software made editing a snap too. I would highly recommend this product.


2 out of 5 stars Not good   August 4, 2008

I bought this product to capture VHS tapes onto my computer, which I would then edit in another program. I am running Vista. I installed the software with little difficulty and was up and running in under 10 minutes. However, over the course of using the product, I discovered that the video and audio frequently get out of sync...just enough to be annoying. The audio somehow gets ahead of the video, so after a few minutes of capturing, it gets out of sync and boom, it's worthless (unless you don't care about that, but I personally find it annoying when people's mouths aren't moving in sync with the audio). For me, this is enough to get rid of the product, it doesn't do what I need it to do. I gave it two stars instead of 1 because if you're just trying to capture something small, like 30 seconds long, it should be fine. However, for anything longer, forget it.

I also found that the software that comes with it is a bit buggy with Vista. It changes the color scheme when you open it up, which causes your screen to go blank for several seconds. Then, if your computer goes to sleep while you're recording, you can't get it to wake up and have to completely restart which is a huge pain. But then again, if your computer is set to go to sleep after 20 minutes, it won't matter because by then the video and audio will be WAY out of sync (it gets progressively worse as time goes on, starting to be noticeable after 3-4 minutes).
