I tried to install this stupid thing for over 2 hours with no success and I'm an experienced computer engineer. Reinstalled the drivers numerous times, but Windows Vista would NEVER recognize it. Tried installing off the disc, tried installing drivers off the website, tried letting Vista find the drivers and nothing worked. I can't say anything about how it works because the stupid thing won't even install. Now it's nothing more than a tiny overpriced paperweight.

Yes, it does what it says, but what they didn't tell you was about the editing feature. It is very unuser friendly.
To put it bluntly, the editing feature on this "blows."

Comments about Ion VIDEO 2 PC Digital Video Converter:
Count on Ion to produce a device that works. I had purchased a video capture conveter from another company and another vendor and it was garbage. The "support" for the product was pitiful and, after a lot of grief, (installations, updates, uninstallations), they ended up telling me my state of the art video-editing computer was at fault.
This time, I knew I could count on B&H Photo to make it right if I had a problem and I have had good luck with Ion so I tried again to order a converter. With this one, the software (Cyberlink Power Director) installed perfectly and the unit works great. I've been importing all my VHS home movies into mpg files that I plan to edit later and have had no problems.
If your goal is to import VHS or other analog videos into your computer, this unit will do the trick. I highly recommend it.

For some reason, the "EZ Video Converter" software did not install.Eventually I found the folders and was able to install. Capture and burn is simple and efficient. Captured video from miniDv tape played on camcorder. Burned dvd which played immediately on samsung dvd player.
Glad I got it!

Bought this to capture video to use as a "camera" in Skype. Didn't work. Gave it 2 stars only because it may actually work in other applications. While it appeared as an available device in Skype, the drivers are so old for this that it was not recognized by Windows 7, even after searching for the proper drivers.

Comments about Ion VIDEO 2 PC Digital Video Converter:
Used this with an old Hi8 camcorder to relay old family videos to my laptop, works like a charm! just plugged it all in and streaming it did.
The only problem I had was the software, it feels very dated, and did not use it for streaming or editing.

Comments about Ion VIDEO 2 PC Digital Video Converter:
Simple to use. Just follow the included instructions and there you have it. My new laptop didn't have a firewire port so I couldn't transfer my camcorder tapes to my computer. This took care of that.
The quality of the transfer isn't great but it isn't poor either.
