It Captures the Video in real time mode but drops number of frames.So you donot get the smooth motion of a scene. Same result is observed in the video cd. The manufacturer has set the time limit for capturing to only 600 seconds. After that audio & video goes out of sync
The software(sonic My DVD is supplied with the unit is also not user friendly.It is very slow. One major drawback is in preview mode, the source sound gets muted.It becomes difficult to recognise the scene.In video editing mode,after trimming unwanted footege,the audio video synchronisation goes totally out.The resulting vcd projet has very poor quality with lot of pauses and choppy movements.Very Furstrating.other capture devices has got far better quality than this Adaptec AVC-1100.

Hi Tammex, Welcome to Ciao pal. A helpful first op indeed ( sounds like a bad product ), but you need to give in more details regarding the product you are reviewing. You can have a look at my reviews if you need some more help on writing reviews & you can always count on me for any kind of help you need in Ciao. Best of Luck pal. jedi_kickass ( ' _ ' )

HI Subhash and welcome to Ciao. Looks like you definitely know your stuff but as some of the other comments below suggest, if you spend a little more time on presentation and make sure you cover all angles, you'd be receiving much better ratings ! Need any help, leave a msg in my GB. Axx
