It doesn't come with the best of directions, you'll need to look around for me info.

It seems to work pretty good if you want a regular DVD writer. Except like another individual I'm not to pleased with the video card installed. It doesn't work right out of the box. I still don't have it working 100%. I start getting video and then I get an error and it won't "Could not complete last command because: Access Violation - No RTTI data!" and it stops playing the video. Tried two differnt input, camcorder and VCR both with same results.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong contact me. I'm tried various settings and followed limited directions given. To no avail.

If I figure this out, I'll post another reply.

It may appear to be damning with faint praise, but "it appears to work as advertised" seems to be high praise for DVD writers. I hope to amend this review after I have more experience with the product.

Mike M you must have the audio video to the front of you VCR but they are for input only you have to hook them too output on back of you VCR then go to my DVD
select the Record Direct-to-DVD or Record Direct-to option to start creating a DVD directly from your VCR. so I hope this hope you but if not Please email me at dayrider@bellsouth.net & I will explan more to you
God bless you

Along with DVD Decrypter and Shrink... free s/w out there... it works very nicely. Some cheap DVD media might be a problem.
I have copied many a VHS and DVD and CD...rarely a prob.
I also have Nero..the Version u can buy for about $8.
It all comes together. Also have a newer Dell laptop with power.
I am not that computer savvy.

All you do is plug it into your USB 2.0 slot, install the easy-dvd-burn software, and then restart your computer... Then you put a blank DVD in the drive and then drag all the things you want to back-up (for me it was GIGs and GIGs of photos) and drop onto the tiny square (comes up automatically upon reboot) on the desktop! Then wait 20 minutes to copy 4.7 GB of data... then FINALIZE (right click the drive in "my computer" and select finalize) and THAT IS IT! Perfect for backing up photos, text documents, video, and other data. Super simple for doing simple tasks. :-D

I have had vey good luck with Iomega products in the past, but this unit does not work as advertised. Admittedly one can burn DVD's from files already present on your HD, but the built-in video capture card does not work. I have tried it with two VCR's and it simply won't capture the video out signal. It may be a software glitch, but I'm not about to spend more $ on a separate viedo capture card and aditional software to make this burner work, If your primarily interested in transferring VCR tape to DVD, buy a stand alone unit- I did and and it works flawlessly.
