User Reviews for ADS Technologies USB INSTANT DVD PC ONLY CAPTURE VIDEO IN DVD (ADS Technologies-USBAV700)

Reviewed by: drice76436

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: It captures in DVD format, and has all the software needed to edit and create DVD's. Plus all the wires to connect are included. ADS Support is great, always releasing new versions to fix problems.

Weaknesses: You need a good enough system to capture video.

Overall Evaluation: I have a Pentium 4 with 512 ram and 1.8mhz speed. I have an extra 120 G hard drive and a external DVD burner. This unit works great, it captures in DVD format and the editing software is wonderful. I do like Ulead VS6, but now they have VS7, which is even better. I have made a couple DVD's. It is much easier to just use a panasonic DVD recorder, but the this allows editing. I did have some problems with an older and less powerful PC, but once I upgraded, I had no problems.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Captures great quality video, Total hardware and software solution!

Weaknesses: A lot of cables, but at least they were provided

Overall Evaluation: After beating my head into a wall with other solutions, the Instant DVD was a sight for sore eyes. It offered a total solution that actually worked out of the box, without forcing you to "remux" your audio...whatever that means.
