When I first purchased this item it was great. I just recently tried to use it again and the content I was capturing in the capture widow was upside down and backwards (left to right). I contacted support and they basically told me to trash it because it was no longer supported and no updates were available from Sonic.The cause was probably due to Service Pack in Windows configuration since when it was purchased Service Pack didnt even exist. The first thing I did was to not believe the lies that would cause a consumer to go out and buy the latest version of their product. I Uninstalled MY DVD and opened Roxio Media Import from a different program (Roxio Creator 2009). Click capture media from cameras etc. and plug in your device. It will ask for the driver disc for the unit so I let it search the MY DVD disc and it found the drivers (without reinstalling MY DVD)and it works PERFECTLY and no issues at all. Sonic sucks for not supporting their product PERIOD! Comments posted by Soulz On Fyr from United States, April 06, 2012: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC?

I picked this up to capture when I gave up my desktop system for a laptop. I needed an external USB device and this fit the bill perfectly. Prior to this I had an ATI Radeon All-In-Wonder on my desktop. The AIW is certainly a better capture device, but does me no good without the luxury of a desktop. The biggest limitation is that you must capture using the included Sonic MyDVD software, and you best quality choice for DVD is 720x480 interlaced at 6000bps. The good news is that for me this works perfectly with no dropped frames or sync issues - I'm using an Athlon 64 at 3200, with a gig of RAM, and a USB 2.0 port. Once the video is captured you are can use whatever software you prefer to edit and author. I use cutterman to edit, TMPGenc to re-encode audio to MP2 from PCM (smaller), and DVDlab to author. I've also re-encoded using TMPGenc to SVCD and VCD format. I've never captured directly to VCD. I have also directly authored DVDs in DVDlab with the captured mpg from Sonic when no editing was needed. Although I'm sure there are better external options out there, the Adaptec DVDoh was cheap (cost me less than $30 Canadian), and does the job it was designed to do quite well. There is no option for capturing to AVI, but you can convert you MPG capture if that was where you wanted to go. Comments posted by Shawn from Canada, July 29, 2006: Compatibility: Win95? Win98?

I have owned this unit for less than a week now, and after a rocky start have been able to transfer four old VHS tapes to DVD. I used the direct-to-DVD method as these are commercial tapes and required no editing. Here is the equipment I'm using: OS is Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Computer: MSI MB w/ AMD Athlon XP 2000+ CPU, 1 GB PC2700 RAM, eVGA nVidia FX 5700 Ultra 128 MB graphics card, HD is an IBM 60 GB 7,200 RPM. Case is Antec SX840 W/ 400 watt PS. Burner: New Sony DRX-530UL (external) (8x) running on USB 2.0. My first ever DVD burner. The DVD's I've burned play fine on my two-year old Sony DV-NS300 settop DVD player, and look and sound pretty good on the TV. It skipped on one of them, however. I used the Adaptec bundled software (Sonic MyDVD 5.3) I promtly burned three coasters when I first tried this device, but a search through the Sonic/Adaptec websites revealed that a firmware upgrade for the Sony burner was needed. After that, all went well. Media: so far, I've only used Memorex DVD+R, (8x) which has a purple cast to it. My one complaint is that after a session, my system is brought to it's knees! Don't know if I need more computing power or if this just goes with the territory. Also, If I change my mind on a capture, and click "stopcapture", the software locks up, and I need to use the OS to end the program. This whole capture procedure seems to require a lot of resources. I shut down my internet connection, firewall, antivirus, and anything else I can think of prior to a session. Is there better software out there than Sonic MyDVD? I don't know.

As a home user/low-end amateur device, this is a good unit. I've had it for just over 2 days, and in that time I've put together a 2-hour DVD of home video clips with no difficulty whatsoever. Capture works fine in MyDVD 5.2 (but not other software I've tried like NeroVision Express) so I've used that and then imported the clips to NeroVision Express for simple cut-editing, menus and burning. No sync problems as yet, and it even captures video that rolls about like crazy on the TV. Comments posted by KevinB from United Kingdom, August 14, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K WinXP?

This is just a bit of information for those who have the older version AVC-2200 with the chip that works with Movie Mill. I recently tried this unit with Movie Mill on a Windows Me laptop and it would work in mpeg1 but not mpeg2 mode. I have a laptop with Windows Me and never had this problem. After some investigation, it turns out Movie Mill version 2.0.260 works if Windows Me has DirectX updated to versions 8 or 9 but with 7 it has a problem Comments posted by trhouse from United States, July 21, 2004: Compatibility: Win95?

I bought it with MyDVD 4.5. I then ordered MyDVD 5.2 so I can edit my MPEG's. When I noticed that the LPCM encoder on the AVC-2210 was causing the audio to get out of sync with the video when you edit the video, Sonic came to the rescue. After working with them for a month, they found the problem and sent me MyDVD 5.3. This fixed the sync issue and I'm able to create excellent DVD's that look great. The only drawback I had was that whenever you use the edit video portion of MyDVD, it will automatically re-encode it on its best setting regardless of the setting you captured. That means if you edited out the commercials of a 2 hour movie, you better hope you edited it down to 80 minutes or you won't fit it onto a DVD. If you plan not to edit the video, it won't happen. Maybe Sonic will fix that in the next version. The DVD creation software is outstanding. I can add chapters after capturing and editing. I also love the chapter buttons where you can get make animated and add your own music. The only problem is that when I try to select an image to the main button, it sometimes doesn't work, either it's too far into the movie or something. It also adds the "Chapter" word that you can't edit out. Overall, it's a great piece of software that I got, and it works good with the AVC-2210. You would have to pay some money for MyDVD 5.3, and I don't know if it's out for retail yet. Just don't get 5.2.

My unit is the AVC-2210 model (newer chip, from what I gathered), and it worked pretty well for me. I got it for $107 from an online retailer. For capture, I use the included Sonic MyDVD 5.2 program for Windows XP systems. Unlike other reviewers, I'm content with the maximum 6.0 Mbps video capture rate, as the result looks pretty darn good and no frame drops. Of course being a cheap capture device with no time-based corrector (TBC), A/V sync problems will occur with longer clip lengths. However, I found that the fault lies on the analog source, not the device. With a good VHS source I got excellent video and audio and no sync problems at all. With older tapes, the sync deteriorates after ~ 20-25 minutes (because of dropped frames, if I'm not wrong). From what I learned, the ultimate solution sync problmes with older/noisy analog tapes is to capture to DV format first and then do editing and transcoding later. However, DV capture cards are usually more expensive, and lots more HD space and editing time is required before you get to the end result. I have mostly used the unit to make DVDs from VHS source. For DVD authoring, I have experimented with Sonic MyDVD itself, Ulead DVD Workshop 2.0, and TMPGENC DVD Author. From my experience, MyDVD and Ulead make the sync problems worse because of the transcoding process. TMPGENC seems to take the raw MPEG-2 files "as is" and therefore produces DVDs with the exact same video and audio quality. I only use TMPGENC to mark start and end frames, splice in-out, and create chapter breaks. The program exports the DVD file structure to HD first, so you can verify the content before burning (saves you coasters). Again, the resulting DVD is "as is", i.e., 6.0 Mbps video and 1.5 Mbps LPCM 2.0 audio, which is quite good if you asked me. Bottom line is I recommend this device for amateur projects because it is cheap, and with the help of TMPGENC DVD Author, creating DVDs is a pretty simple and the result is quite good. I give this an 8 because the result with old/noisy VHS tapes is substandard (need professional, more expensive hardware to tackle these).

This is a great product for what I am doing. I just transfer my VHS tapes to DVD. I use supplied Sonic software to capture in the best DVD mode and save final .mpeg gile. (If you want to play this file in a Real Player or some other player video looks "lined" on fast moving objects but don't worry it will be perfect after you edit it). I even capture 3 hours from a single tape by checking the box that lets you choose the duration of your recording. Open Ulead Movie Maker and import the captured video, automatically or manually set chapters, give title and add background picture and music from .mp3 file. Output as DVD onto harddrive and use DVDShrink to make it fit onto 1 DVD disk. Use Nero to burn. No sync or any other problems. I turn the firewall and antivirus off though while capturing. Instead of Ulead I sometimes (for big files) use TMPEGenc software to create VIDEO_TS folder. Specs: 2GHz P4 512DDR 120+80HDD USB2.0. I put 9 bacause I need the third party software like Ulead, TMPGenc or DVDShrink. Comments posted by shurup from United States, April 07, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4?

I had major problems with getting MYDVD to capture. It can become unstable and hang, even with all the Start Up progammes that normally run in the background, turned off. The bundled editor is also unreliable. I did get very good support from Adaptec here in UK, but I guess you still can't make 'a silk purse from a sow's ear'!!!!!! If you want to convert VHS to dvd, try BeyondTV software. This recognises the Adaptec device. You have to configure it to receive set top box. I have edited using Nero vision and burned OK but using clips of no more than 1/2 hour segments. Beyond Tv seems more stable capturing. For me, at the end of the day, I have spent too long with too many let downs with Media Centre, it doesn't do effectively what it says it will do, suggest you look elswhere. This report should be here under USB2 edition, not the PCI edition. thanks Comments posted by paul crack from United Kingdom, March 30, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4?

Ok, a bit of an update from my previous comment. Why....well simple because after a lot of playing I realised that if you use the software that comes with this product you do actually get a DVD compliant video without sync issues. The secret is capture in either MyDVD or WinDVR (I prefer WinDVR). Then import the captured movie into MyDVD and export it as a DVD to your harddrive. Once complete find the Video_TS folder and use DOS to rename all the *.VOB files to *.MPG (for those of you who do not know how to use DOS, tough, time you learnt). Import these mpegs into your favorite editor (in my case Ulead VideoStudio 7), edit and play out as normal. So whilst this is a very convoluted process, if you have one of these devices this is a sure way of ensuring that you get a return on your investment. I still think that it is pretty poor that, in my opinion, Adaptec seem to have modified the capture format such that it deviates from the MPEG standard forcing you to use their software. If this was truly MPEG compliant you would be able to use any piece of editing software. Comments posted by Johnnny from United States, March 23, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K?

Please check out the Compro VideoMate Live USB 2 before buying this Adaptec product. Here's why: 1) It has a hardware Mpeg 1 & 2 compressor for video and audio; 2) It does not have audio sync problems on authored DVDs; 3) It has a good TV tuner; 4) It has a good scheduling program; 5) The Mpegs created are "third party app friendly"; 6) I have successfully created DVDs with the included Ulead software and my copy of TMPGE Author (a great program); 7) Captures can be done in vbr or cbr; 8) Picture quality is great; 9) The drivers and App have been updated when needed. In fact, tech support addressed an earlier issue I raised by updating their PVR application; 10)This product does not need a fast computer (My P4, 1.3 uses it without problem). By the way, I do not own stock in this company, but I could afford it if I hadn't spent all my money on other capture devices that did not work.

This product is rubbish, whether the problem is with the supplied software or the actual encoder I do not know. However when I try and capture using the supplied MyDVD the audio and video are always out of sync. When capturing using WinDVR also included, video/audio is in sync until I try and edit the video using Studio 8, VideoStudio, PowerDirector and/or TMPGenc when the audio goes out of sync. If I capture the same Video using either a Dazzle DCS200 or a Pinnacle USB the capture is perfect before and after editing. Subsequent to buying the system I have read numerous complaints from users who have encountered the same issue, one of which claimed that Adaptec suggested limiting captures to 10mins to resolve the sync issue, WHAT SORT OF ANSWER IS THAT. Adaptecs short term TSID support is a joke requiring you to pay for tech support after expiration. I fail to see why I should pay to resolve problems on a dodgey product. I have gone back to using my Dazzle product which has NEVER let me down. The only reason I bought this product was because I thought it would be nice to be able to convert my old VHS to DVD and have PVR functionality at the same time. This product is only good for PVR but the WinDVR has issues as well Comments posted by Johnnny from United States, March 12, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC?

When Compusa put a price of $100 with mail in rebate I had to give it a try. On my first attempt my 1 hour and 35 minute mpg file played good on pc. When I converted to dvd is was out of sync. I then encoded the mpg file using TMPEnc plus 2.5 and ccteated a dvd file using TMPEnc dvd Author. I used Nero to burn the dvd. It created a dvd that played perfect. Next I tried another movie. It did freeze during encord but I know it was my fault. I used to many resourses on my pc and it could handle it. I don't care for the software that came with it since it doesn't work. I don't care for the flashing light on the box if I don't have anything plug into it but over all I'm happy to be able to back-up my vhs to dvd now. Those old vhs just take up to much room.

I have an Adaptec avc-2210 and wasn't happy about the limited options in capturing. I bought a Pyro A/V link because of the extra flexibility. Hooked the Pyro up and was immediately disappointed with the capture (Direct TV)quality resulting from capturing/converting DV to DVD and MPEG to DVD. Tried every option and made some improvements but at best it looks like a good copy of a VHS tape. The captures I got with the avc-2210 looked very very close to the live quality of the DTV signal. The Pyro is going back to Circuit City tomorrow. Maybe the Pyro is a defective unit but I have now decided that for what I want to do, the limited control of the avc-2210 is okay given the superior capture quality.

Check out the Compro VideoMate USB TV tuner box first. If you want an mpeg2 hardware encoder and have a usb2 connection, I recommend you research the Compro VideoMate USB 2.0 TV tuner box. I own one, and have used it to create DVDs from a cable input. The picture quality is very good to excellent, probably limited only by the signal input. The picture is better than the Leadtek Winfast Deluxe, and as good as the Leadtek Winfast Expert (software encoders, both of which I own and have used on the same system). It is far superior to the "buggy" Hauppauge WinTV 250 card with its "IRQ hogging" tendencies and poor, "blocky" image reproduction with older vfw drivers. The Expert has a 10 bit decoder and the Compro has a 9 bit decoder. Don't be confused--bit size does not necessarily mean better picture, as I and others have discovered. The 9 bit Philips chip apparently is well supported, and plays well with 3rd party applications. I am still experimenting, but my current process is as follows: 1) Record with Compro PVR software (included) set to 7,000 or so mbps; 2) Open Ulead Movie Factory 2 (included), and open the PVR file for rendering; 3) When Ulead offers to burn, you can burn to DVD if the file is not too large: 4) If the file is too large after rendering, do not burn to DVD, but have Ulead burn image and dvd folders to a place you can find on the computer--these options appear at the same time; 5) Install DVDShrink (free from dvdshrink.com or org), open the Ulead image or dvd folder file in Shrink(I forget which/only one will open) and compress file; 6) Burn to DVD with your DVD burning application. I use Nero 5.5 with latest free patches from Nero website. Ulead Movie Factory may also have a burner included, but I have not used it after performing a shrink. You will be happy with the results, and your computer will not break a sweat. FYI, my system is a P4, 1.3gig with 384 rdram--just a bit too slow for software compression. A 2 hour movie at 7000mbps gave me a 5.9 gig file, which I compressed with DVD Shrink before burning to DVD. The result was great. I have seen no dropped frames, jittery picture or blocky artifacts. The recordings "shrunk" and burned to DVD look even better on TV than they do on the computer." I have an open dialogue going with Compro about vbr vs cbr recording. Their latest patch is supposed to allow vbr, but I am not sure yet whether my recordings are vbr. The important thing is that I am having a dialogue, and Floyd at Compro usually responds to my emails within 24 hours--he is in Taiwan and I am in the States. In fact, when I first found this box, it did not have vbr, and when I inquired about it, I was told it was coming in a software update. As promised, the update was soon posted to the site. The software may still have a bug (if it is not just me), which I am sure they will correct. (If it is just me, I am sure they will explain) after Chinese New Year (which ends Jan. 26). If you intend to do much editing (aside from deleting commercials or extraneous "front end/back end" recordings), I suggest you visit lordsmurf.com. I don't know if he is right, but he raises some good points. This box will not do avi capture, but if you are recording to watch on your computer or recording to burn to DVD for TV set or portable DVD player viewing, you don't need to perform time consuming, "hard drive gobbling" avi capturing and conversion, leaving you with no free time and often audio sync problems. This device hardware compresses both the video and audio streams, and I have experienced no sync problems with my recordings. You can get this at the best shopping site on the web--NewEgg.com--for about $171 US. It is worth it. I took the time to write this review given all the time and money I have invested on products that did not work on my mid speed machine. I hope I save you some time. If you have any doubts about Compro, check out how their other products perform at the NewEgg customer comments section and on this site.

Bought this card due to a rebate offered which brought the price down to $129. My original plan to do PVR duties on my PC. Analog capture was secondary as I already have a Radeon card that can do that. I had settled on the Hauppauge PVR-350 but it was back ordered everywhere I looked. If your main goal is TV tuning and PVR recording, this unit does an acceptable job. As others have mentioned it's chained to the bundled hardware. It's proprietary drivers don't allow it's use with any other software. It does not use the Windows WDM drivers. Adaptec's response was one of apathy. What the hell, they already got my money so why should they care? Comments posted by Gavin Hill from United States, January 24, 2004: Compatibility: Win95? Win98? Win2K? WinXP Vista? NT4? MAC?

I have Adpatec VideoOh!DVD version 4.0 about a yr. Lately, I just found out way to use it more effectively for those who have window XP. Use video!oh to down load my analog movie from camcorder to pc. Then open Window Movie Maker (from window XP package) and import the movie you just download. Then I am able to edit, trim, add sound, ect... Final, I use Nero to burn it on my dvd. It worked for me well without buying any extra software nor hardware. I was told adaptec 4.5 or 5.0 will work well with Window Movie maker as well. However, due to the headache of Arcbiz and mySonic program that Adpatec provides, I will not buy another adaptec hardware for this matter. I grade it a 5.0 just to be nice guy.

DVD Media Center USB2.0 Edition (also mit TV-Tuner) - Anschlüsse-In: Antenne, S-Video, Composite, Audio-Cinch - Anschlüsse-Out: USB 2.0 - Software: MyDVD 4.5, ShowBiz, WinDVR 3 Kurz und knapp: 1) sehr einfache Installation, einfach anstöpseln, PC hochfahren, Adaptec-CD einlegen, automatische Treiberinstallation wählen .... danach noch WinDVR 3 (Intervideo), MyDVD 4.5 (Sonic) und Showbiz (Arcsoft) installieren und das wars.... 2) das TV-Bild wird ohne Mucken (verlorene Frames etc.) als MPEG2 aufgenommen 3) das aufgenommene TV-Video ist besser als das Livebild 4) mit Showbiz kann man das aufgenommene File in andere Formate konvertieren (QT, WMV, Divix, DV, Avi, SVCD, VCD, DVD) nicht so gut: 5) die externe Adaptec-Karte hat keine Audio-Out Anschlüsse und kein Radio 6)ShowBiz - die Umwandlung in QT ist unterirdisch schlecht - die Umwandlung in WMV (1,5 Mbit/s) ist dagegen Prima Auffälligkeiten: - MyDVD ist zum Aufnehmen ungeeignet, da man außer gut... besser... am besten... nix einstellen kann (keine Videobitrate bzw. Audiobitrate) - es scheint keine andere Software zu funktionieren außer die mitgelieferte (selbst die Vollversionen von WinDVR 3 sowie MyDVD 5.0 nicht)...ich hab auch mal Movie Mill 2.0 (Build 260, 271, 285) getestet, Resultat = geht nicht - das mitgelieferte WinDVR 3 funktioniert sehr gut, aber Audio wird nur als unkomprimiertes PCM aufgenommen mit satten 1500 kbit/s... Audio MPEG-Layer II kann man nicht anwählen... Videobitrate ist einstellbar von 2.000-8.000 kbit/s in Einerschritten (selbst auch getest und mit BitRate Viewer überprüft) Wichtig!!! getest habe ich mit diesen Treibern (Version 1.1) und der neuen Version von WinDVR 3 (Build 7923): http://www.adaptec.de/worldwide/support/drivers_b ... 2fAVC-2310 Lösung für das Audioproblem: z.B. TEMPGEnc DVD Author oder MPEG2-VCR... mit beiden Tools kann man die Audiobitrate auf verträgliche Werte ändern (z.B. 224 oder 384) ohne das Videomaterial zu recodieren http://www.tmpgenc.com/ http://www.womble.com/download.htm ADAPTEC täte gut daran ein Aufnahmetool mit zu liefern, das das gesamte Aufnahmevermögen des MPEG2-Chips voll ausschöpft und die völlige Kontrolle über die Video- und Audiobitrate ermöglicht.

I bought it a month ago. It was on sale and included a rebate, so I got it for $50 less. I also liked it because with the RCA and USB cables, I can stretch it to 12 feet, enough to reac hthe VCR player. Let me tell you, spending money to get three DVD+RW disks was well worth it because I needed the trial and error. The software seemed to be perfect if you have a movie that didn't need to be edited. You could also add chapter points too. I haven't done one, so I don't know how synced the sound would be. What I want it to do is take a tape from a TV show, edit out the commercials, add chapter points, the works. There I was very disappointed. Using the Showbiz software to edit out the commercials was fairly simple, but you lose the chapter points cannot be done. Furthermore, if you just stop capturing at the commercial and just use MyDVD to trim the five or so MPEG's you created, you get a good movie, but to get to the next MPEG in your DVD, you have to go back to menu and select it. Somehow, MyDVD will create five DVD files instead of combining them. What you really need to use is Showbiz 2. It seems to have everything the bundle has. However, When I try to capture from there, it says that it's being used by another application. I also tried to take the MPEG's I created in MyDVD and load them in there, and I found that the sound was slower. I watched my MPEG's using other viewers and they were fine. After a couple tests, I found a solution. Use Showbiz to collect the MPEG's together and save it as one big MPEG file (you can select DVD, SVCD or MPEG2). Then I loaded it into Showbiz 2, edited the file, add chapter points and burn a DVD. Doing it this way takes a lot of time. Having an AMD Avalon 3000 computer, it takes "movie length" * 1.8 minutes to create the MPEG file in Showbiz, about an hour to edit and add chapter points (which may be seconds off as the movie get's longer), then about 3 hours in Showbiz 2 to burn the DVD. Please note that you might buy DVD+R disks that say 4.7G, but my computer says it's 4.37G. That's why I set the speed manually so I know that it will fit. After this test, I got an okay looking DVD. I decided to keep the device. However, there should be something that Adaptec should do to allow Showbiz 2 to capture. I'm sure there's better devices, but at that price, it was worth it.
