5.0 out of 5 stars
A great companion to my new Sony TRV340 camcorder, August 31, 2002

This review is from: Pinnacle Studio DV Version 7 (210100110) (Personal Computers)
As a computer professional, but first time PC/digital video user, I rate this product highly for several reasons.
The over 1/2" instruction manual is well written. The short automated tutorial is very good too. The video capture card (IEEE, i-LINK, whatever you want to call it) has 1 internal and 2 external ports which is handy. The cable is actually long enough to use. It configured easily in Windows XP Home.
The software detects every thing with ease and has a cool feature when connected to my new SONY TRV340 (see my review for it) that allows control of the camera from the screen.
I have captured Digital-8 video and video converted from my VHS tapes via my SONY into the PC and easily edited the video into some very nice home movies. Some of the special effects are very slick.
I have had no problems as mentioned by others in inserting from multiple captured videos. I have made up to hour long movies so far. It has more formats to output to than you would ever need and I haven't had one single failure (capturing, editing, or writing) yet. I must say it delivers everything it promises and is suprisingly user friendly.
