Pros & Cons
Pros
The software set-up and settings take a bit of patience, but the tutorial video is a gem, as is the developer. The developer was remarkably helpful in knocking down a few of my digital roadblocks.

It was a bit more expensive than others that are available but it actually works
Competitiveness
Whether there is a superior product on the market i dont know
I spent hours attempting to get a similar device from siig to work with windows 10 but did not succeed

Within a number of minutes i had live video from my vcr visible in the showbiz capture window on my laptop with a big capture button prominently displayed on the lower part of the interface

The arcsoft capture software can be sensitive to breaks of static between videos and i found initially that it would stop recording during some of these breaks

Apparently the copyright protection is so sensitive that it sees odd video variances as formal protection and shuts down recording

This was irritating but luckily there is a fix just follow the solution provided under faq question number 7

The only downside is that it may continue recording static after your valid video segment ends so i just note the length of the video i want to capture and make sure i am there to press stop when it is over
