    1.0 out of 5 stars PEEeeeuuuuUUWWW!, January 15, 2004
    By Ktowntn Chicago "ktowntn" (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
    i would give this zero stars if that were allowed. i use a winxp machine, 512rdram, 2.4 ghz, almost vacant 80gb hard drive,400mb bus. software is horrible. sometimes freezes my computer when trying to capture analog. bungled (not bundled) software windvr3 did not work with the included remote until i downloaded a plugin. tv channels take several seconds to change. if i change channels like a normal person "3-4-5..." my "puter freezes. I must...change...channels...slowly...zzzzzz.
    i purchased this product based on reviews at a well respected computer (pc) product review site that also publishes a similar real world magazine. for the past 5 years, i've had very good experience with products recommended from unsaid site. this is the 1st dud and boy is it.
    in all fairness i have not tried the SONIC software bundled with the VIDEOH DVD MEDIA CENTER. Just the bad, very bad WINDVR3 bungled in the box.
    I wanted software and hardware to capture and author analog video from old 8mm tape and vcr tape. at the rate this is going i definitely gotta get some better software that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars and requires loads of time debugging. Geez, i even had a hard time registering this crap so i could try to get fixes. you would be wise, to steer wide of intervideo windvr, probably anything from intervideo. do yourself a big favor...pinch your nose and walk quickly past this stinker!

    1.0 out of 5 stars If I could score it lower, I would: and wish....., January 23, 2004
    ..I had checked the other reviews here first before buying it in a brick and mortar store. Install was flawless. But it would never capture video from either of two 8mm video recorders (to either DVD-R or the hard drive). Each attempt to capture either never started, or froze shortly after, or simply locked up my machine. This was working on a new machine with a fast processor, a ton of ram and a buttload of available hard drive space. Not ready for prime, and surely not worth the best part of two $100 bills. Adaptec products (at least their PCI-based ones, which I've used in the past) are usually decent. But this is device is simply a stinker. Avoid!

    3.0 out of 5 stars o.k. product with dreadful software, January 6, 2004
    By A Customer
    I've had this product for about 2 months now. I use it solely for watching television on my laptop, so I haven't explored the bundled video-editing software, and can't comment on that.

    My impression is similar to that described in some of the other reviews on Amazon, but I can sum it up by saying that the device itself is functional and works as I expected. It's the bundled software that stinks, and it's just as bad as one of the other reviewers suggested. Intervideo WINDVR 3.0 comes with the Adaptec Videoh, and it's what you use for viewing, and recording, live television. It often has a tendency to hang for no apparent reason, and then when you try to use the "Windows Task Manager" to shut it down, it doesn't work.. 5 minutes later, the computer goes to the dreaded blue screen, completely out of the blue (so to speak). And I'm running this on a new laptop (1300 Ghz Centrino, 256, 80 gig, etc.). The Windvr software crashes the whole system almost on a daily basis.

    You can't trust the scheduling software, and one of the most serious design defects I've encountered is the fact that Windvr will stop recording when it reaches the 4 gigabytes limit for the individual file it's recording - in other words, slightly more than an hour's worth of recorded material. Imagine that you've paused a live broadcast of a movie you've been wanting to see.. after about half-an-hour of recording, you come back to press play. Everything is fine for another half-hour, when you notice that Windvr is no longer recording the live feed.. the "delay time" (indicating how much recorded material you have left to watch) keeps getting smaller, when it should remain the same. You reach the end of the recorded portion of the movie and the screen pauses.. you have to hit "stop" - so that you're now viewing the live feed - and by now the movie has gone off the air and they're broadcasting something else.
    I've missed more movie endings, and more exciting finishes to sports events in this way, you'd think they would have released an update for this obvious flaw.

    Think again. A quick survey of the Intervideo website reveals that they have *never* issued any sort of update to this software, and evidently don't intend to - there is truly no support. Why Adaptec chose this particular software to bundle with their product, I'll never know.

    I am told that other software is compatible with the Adaptec Videoh, including the "Personal Video Station" software (which for some reason wouldn't install on my machine). At any rate, the added software will probably set you back an additional $100 or so - but it sounds like it does have the advantage of being more functional, at least.
