It has taken some experimentation to make this work and I have been indebted to other reviewers for their comments regarding drivers. I found the driver recommendation of Syntek 1150 was useless for Win7, the need being for the Syntek 1160. The installation disc driver being of no use at all. The Ulead programme for editing is still unfathomable to me and I find that the simple Windows Movie Maker 2.6, although basic and a need to be downloaded for use in Win7, is much easier to use. Sound quality using the input jack on my laptop leaves something to be desired but the image quality is good if the original is also of a good standard. This gadget will not make a silk purse out of a VHS 'sow's ear'. Recording from a PVR produces the best results and taking the AV feed from the phono socket (yellow) rather than the scart cured the problem of a monochrome image. There was no colour problem recording from a VCR when the scart did all the work.
The low price was my encouragement to buy it but any saving was spent on my time initially making it work for me.
