2.0 out of 5 stars Not very pleased, August 28, 2002

This review is from: USB Videobus II for Pc For Video Camera/vcr with Edit Sftwre (Personal Computers)

I bought this video editing software with hopes of being able to capture clear images, but all I got was a low-resolution photograph. I could never get the audio to play while viewing live video, but for some reason the audio played back with the recording after playback. This happened while playing a DVD into the device. This product might be OK for Internet use if uploading video, but if you want to capture a clearer image and produce quality video don't waste your money on this product.

The Belkin videobus II I bought said "Works With Windows XP" on the box, when I got it home I found that it didn't have a driver that would work with with Win XP, on the Belkin website there was a driver that would work, but it was a week driver. Every time I plugged the thing up Windows couldn't locate the driver, so I had to reinstall it. Finialy the wire shorted somewhere in the center, so every time I moved the thing would disconect and reconect when I moved again! Finialy I got tierd of it, so I threw it away and got a Hauppague videobus, and it has worked good for me for the last several months.

The only good part of the deal was the MGI software, the Belkin Videobus I purchaced came with a video editor and a photo suit.
The MGI Videowave IV is a much better program than the Windows Movie Maker that came with Windows XP, and the MGI Photosite III is a good photo editing program, togeather they were probably worth the price of the Belkin VideobusII I threw away.

I got the VideoBusII for amatuer video work, and it's worked out well. The piece of hardware itself has had no problems, just make sure it's right for your camcorder. The software takes some getting used to, but once I figured it out I was able to have fun doing the basics--simple editing and effects. Nothin too fancy, but if that's what you want, it could be just right.
