Pros: - Works in my MacBook (and any Mac OS)
- Very easy and 1 minute setup
- Does not have any lag, I cab play with my Xbox 360 without any lag.
- I can now convert my old VHS tapes to digital fotmat.
- I also tried to capture from my Cable STB and works well.
Cons: - Not HD quallity, an HDMI port will be amazing, but for this price, it is not a real con.
- Mac OS drivers not included, but you can find it easly in google.
Other Thoughts: Very nice product for this price, otrher MacOS compatible video capturing devices, in Spain, costs about 80 euro (107 US Dollar today).
Bottomline: I bought it to convert my old VHS tapes, and now I'm using it to play with my Xbox in my laptop when others are using the TV.
awesome?

Pros: The easycap is one of the very few AV to PC converters that are cheap and are not a fake.
This one is no different, you simply install the drivers(it works fine on win7 64) and use it how you want. Forget the stupid included software as its just an advertising deal with the two companys but any app that connect to your web cam can display this device and it can be very usful.
Cons: On win7 64 the driver is not so good and you'll want to locate a leeked copy of the new 64bit driver if you want it to work well.
Other Thoughts: I bought this a while ago and stopped using it because i modified the said console to work over vga. but no buyers remorse thanks to the good price here.
Bottomline: If you want to play an old console on your PC display and don't want to fuck around with modifications and expensive converters that are just a $2 circuit then this is perfect.
good product

Pros: I receive the av/converter with the same packaging as the photos in the webpage, I made some copies of my old vhs's tape, the max resolution it's 640x480, nice for websites.
I installed it at a Dell notebook d620 (WinXP) and work perfectlly.
Cons: The manual it's small ; the resolution could be better, but enough for the price.
The converter isn't compatible with other OS , just Windows.
Other Thoughts: May be the resolution could be better with another software, I have to try it
Bottomline: nice product, good realtion quality-price
Great for capturing video games

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.
Cons: I was meant to use it to play video games on it, but the ulead software that came with the easycap doesn't have sound, so i have to use some other program, something media player classic works great.
Bottomline: Buy it if you need to reacord a video game or you want to play video games on the computer screen.
