Buggy Piece of Junk

My first ADS unit arrived DOA from Amazon, probably damaged in shipping, and it would not be recognized by my video editing machine (AMD 3000+, 2GB RAM, 500GB SATA HDD).My second ADS unit arrived 3 days later, Amazon has very good customer service, I'll give them that much, they refunded my $3.99 I paid for super-saving 1-day shipping and sent the unit out overnight delivery, since I needed this to finish a project.Kudos to Amazon.Ok, the tale of the tape: This item DOES NOT seamlessly integrate...

Bare bones, but works as advertised!

I bought this unit to transfer family movies from an analog Sony Handicam and from old VHS tapes.I also needed it to work with both Mac OS and Windows computers.I have only tried it with the Mac OS and iMovie so far and it works great when transferring from the Handicam or directly from a cable TV feed.I've not yet tried using it with Windows or VHS tape, but I suspect my results will be similar.My only complaints and the reason for the 4-star review: Of the cables included, I've only used the RCA...

Its Output as Powerful as Its Input...

I've been using the Pyro box for 3 months now, and it's been great for me.It came with Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0 which was easier to use than I thought.I've been using it with my JVC S-VHS VCR and the capture quality is great, but to my suprise I find myself more excited about the output.Being about to output my video project to a TV before I burn it to DVD has changed my entire workflow for the better.I can see the REAL colors!!I guess if I had to think of a bad point for the product, it would...

great product! We use it everyday in a Video/Photo business

Have had no problems capturing video at all!Integrates perfectly with Adobe Premier.The only reason I might could imagine it acting up for someone is - IF they are trying to capture to the SAME drive that their Operating system is located on. Well on the other hand with the new hard drive technology out there today, I would imagine the UPSCALE hard drives could handle the workload with no problems as well.If you are having problems with your video capture -maybe you should consider upgrading your...

Beware ships with an older version of Premiere Elements

Pyro A/V link does the job but I was disappointed that the package included an older version of Premiere Elements.The current 2.0 version does not ship with this package so the deal is not as good as it sounds....
