Adaptec DVpics Video input adapter

Advantages: Works, lifetime waranty, easy to use(its just plug and play)
Disadvantages: Nothing special about it, equivalent prducts can be found everywhere

...What can I say about it except it does the job and does it well. Its fast (as the name suggests) and is compatible with the industry standards (up to 720x480pixels and 30fps) I hear you cry what makes this better than any other analogue video to pc cable and the answer is not very much. You plug it, in use the included compatible software and copy your source to pc. It works with just about any standard analogue source. Its a pretty standard piece of kit with nothing amazing to really pull it out the slosh of the general market, its as good as any and has a lifetime waranty but I'm sure you can find the equivalent of this product for less. I only recomend it for the life time waranty, not that much can go wrong on a cable and a bit of software.... Read review

Advantages: Helps free up space on Camcorder Tapes
Disadvantages: Tricky to install

...The Dazzle Video input adapter was a Handy Tool indeed. Previous to having this adapter i could only play movies from my camcorder from the T.V which was a complicated business but with it i can now make DVD's of all my favourite memorys. The Dazzle Video input adapter was tricky to use. Many leads wires and much installation was needed to install the software and device. The actually interface of the software was up to date and modern and pleasing on the eye although still tricky on the mind. Even thow tricky and hard to install the dazzle software really does capture memorys on DVD's effectively for thos people without digital camcorders. People say take pictures they last longer, well no dazzle has made it so your memorys will last even longer on DVD.... Read review

...standard. Setting up the WMA11Bis not a super-simple process, but the included quick-install guide breaks the process into a series of straightforward tasks: 1. Connect the device to your computer using an Ethernet cable and run the setup CD, which walks you through network configuration. You could do this through the TV, but it's more awkward that way. 2. Install the Media Adapter Utility onto your PC (this needs Microsoft's .Net framework, which became a standard part of the Windows XP OS only recently. The setup CD automatically checks your computer and installs .Net, if necessary. 3. Set up the Media Adapter Utility to tell the device where your pictures and music are stored on the PC. 4. Plug in the media adapter to the stereo and TV - your TV must have a composite-video or an S-Video input, and your stereo needs phono sockets... Read review
