Poor for video capture, 22 May 2005
This product does not include a tv tuner, it's sole purpose is to capture video signal.It is therefore disappointing that this box fails to do that properly. The box is easy to set up, and the software and hardware included are fine - although no scart sockets, there is s-video and rgb. Copying from clean sources, ie a sky+ box seem ok, copying from all other sources tends to be problematic, or rather unusable. Whenever a source is used that contains a change in signal strength this product struggles to convert the signal, and there is a good chance that the results are either flickering colours, or worse (and more commonly) a heavy blue tinted picture. What can cause a change in signal - experiments showed that all below caused issues: video tracking problems, video tape wobbles, program going to adverts (on tv source or video source) source being paused, or fast-forwarded - rewound change of camera shot - in home recorded and bought video pausing video camera This does not happen all the time and repeated attempts to capture the same source usable material could be copied. However you could not capture any source unattended. Ultimately I returned the dvd express.
