What is Bulk Rate? BulkRate is a semi-wholesale system with items priced separately from retail. When you use bulk rates, a flat $1.70 registered air mail fee will automatically be added to your cart to ensure delivery of package. While BulkRate's intention is to offer cheaper prices when you buy in bulk, because it is priced separately it on occassions show a higher than retail price. That's why we ask you to enter BULKRATE as a coupon code to manually activate the rates. You can always opt not to use the bulk rates. If you are looking for wholesale prices please feel free to contact us.

Pros: - Easy to set up
- Cheap
- Portable
 
Cons: - Windows XP SP3 wants to install driver every time you plug it in.  I get around this by having 8 USB ports and never unplugging it.
- There's a consistent line at the bottom of the video.  May be an artifact of the camera though.
- Default AVI encoding is horribly interlaced.
 
Other Thoughts: It did a decent job of converting the Hi-8 videotapes we recorded of the kids at Christmas.  I'm sure there's better recording software out there, but this does the job.
 
Bottomline: Good deal if you have a bunch of videotapes you want to convert to digital inexpensively.

Pros: It was cheap so im not out alot of money.
 
Cons: Well the installation disk takes forever to load the program, I never could get it to work on my laptop, so it sits in my cabinet unused.
 
Other Thoughts: if i could have gotten it to work would have been very happy.  this is the only item i have had trouble with from Deal Extreme.
 
Bottomline: seems to work good for others but i didnt have the patience to keep messing with it to figure out the problem.  would have returned it but had it for over a month before i got around to try to use it.

Great Value

Pros: It's fairly easy to setup and use and takes pretty decent quality captures. I hooked it up to my wii and I was able to play the wii on my laptop without any lag whatsoever. The sound was good and came out clear. The actual casing of the easycap feels like really good quality plastic.
Used the software that came with it which was ulead video studio ce 10 while you may want to go another route for merely watching video or playing a game on the wii for recording it's quite easy and makes it into mpeg2 format.
I have vista and it worked without a hitch for me and after trying a couple of tuner throughout the years for usually more expensive it's nice to have one that works.
 
Cons: The ulead software that came with it is decent for recording however for watching without recording you should try out some others, media player classic works pretty well. Could never get sound from preview with ulead either.
As for the actual device I can't see any.
 
Other Thoughts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vr_y6BtPBTg
Here is a test capture that I did, just captured directly with default settings at 352x240 with ulead.
 
Bottomline: Really good price, I have seen worse devices for much more than what's here. It's a no brainer type thing which is good when you want to easily convert old home movies etc.
