This product is easy to use and I like it. So far I used only the Capture facility. It has 4 quality options: Best, Good, Normal and Average. It's splitting the tape at 4.38 GB. I have used only the Normal option and I checked the Average option. The quality of the average was not satisfactory for me, so I deleted it and repeated the capture using Normal. The quality of the Normal is okay with me. I guess the Best and the Good would split the 2 hr tape into several chunks of 4.38 GBs. I also converted a 3 hr tape and it became to files, one of which was smaller than the other one. Finally I wish it had a FireWire option for capturing, instead of USB only. I had one tape which was freezing in some places. I deleted the file, but I think it is the speed of the USB 2.0 that was not sufficient. Yousef

My Sony Digital8 camera does have usb but it is supported only by Windows 7 and i needed a way to backup old videos. Considering i had also a bunch of VHS tapes to backup i bought this product which worked quite well and i managed to backup everything via Svideo input, which gives out better color and brightness compared to plain composite. To record i used OBS studio and to get best quality: - define video capture device, go to its properties - under Resolution/FPS Type select custom - set resolution 720x576 or 720x480 - set FPS to highest possible - close properties and open OBS settings - select output and under recording quality select indistinguishable, encoder Software x264 - under audio tab 44.1 and stereo i selected - under video resolution and scaled resolution i placed the same 720x576, FPS 60 Note that file will be quite big, ie. 90min of video was 9.7GB for me, however this is where you use software called Handbrake to encode it to h265 format that will reduce size quite well. You can start by selecting a video encoding preset like H.265 MKV 480p30 and then modifying it: - skip summary, dimensions and filters go to video tab - you need H.265(x265) encoder, not NVEnc or AMD, software encoder only, because hardware is used for streaming content and is of lower quality - set it to average bitrate 5000 and 2 pass encoding On a AMD Ryzen 7 4800H it took around 2-3 hours but the file was reduced to 3.3GB approximately. In case you are backing up VHS you can change the FPS to 24-25 because that is the maximum it can output, as for resolution there is a lot of debate what is best for PAL/NTSC standards, but i recorded on higher resolution and then used handbrake to change it to whatever i felt comfortable with.
