Based on the high reviews I downloaded it and dived into re-capturing and archiving my old camcorder tapes. The recordings played fine in WMP and MPC. After grabbing one I wanted to enjoy by ripping to MP4 and uploading to my media center, discovered that the STOIK avi files can't be opened by Handbrake or AviDemux. A couple minutes with Google revealed the fact that "type 1" DV files can't be opened by AviDemux. So, no big loss except a bunch of hours of having to capture everything over again with a different free capture program that lets you choose "type 1" or "type 2".
Review:
Controls are a bit confusing to figure out. Output vs Capture?
Drops frames occasionally. Not sure if it's the tape or the computer so unsure of this.
Does the job as long as you don't want to open the DV avi files in free editing tools. (I didn't bother to see whether they open in Sony Vegas Movie Studio).
