 Worked once, then broke. Don't buy. July 28, 2010
Kari
After a lot of arguing with the device to correctly grab my video coming from my game systems, I got it working and streaming properly. 12 hours later, it stopped working. My computer wouldn't recognize it even after a restart and uninstalling the drivers, only showing a black screen instead of lovely video. The USB port wouldn't make the typical "I found a device" sound, and my USB ports are definitely working. Now I'm out near $50 since I already ordered a audio/video splitter thinking I had a working capture card, and that may soon rise as I need to buy a second capture card. There's no troubleshooting on the site, and no number or email I can contact to get help from the company. Don't buy this useless bundle of cable.
 works as advertissed July 25, 2010

Sony camcorders (and I suppose some others, but I don't know about them) simply don't work for me, as I tried to load the video recording to my PC. My Dell PC would not recognize the Sony camcorder, via the USB plug (I tried this on 3 different computers, using both the Sony software, and not using the Sony software). My sons have told me Sony is proprietary, meaning, I ought to use a Sony PC (which I don't have).
In any event, I bought the Diamond product, as a means of having the PC recognize the the camcorder then moving the recorded video to my Dell PC. The Diamond product worked without problems or flaws. For this, the product earns the highest ratings.
Second to none other than an HD PVR July 25, 2010

The Diamond VC500 is second to NONE other than a 200$ HD PVR. I use my old standard definition TV to play video games and record using this device. With the right settings in the One Touch Video Capture program (Free with this item) you can easily record in some of the highest Standard Definition EVER.
I suggest using an editing program like Windows Movie maker or Sony Vegas Pro 9.0 to improve things that can be lost in video processing such as color saturation, sharpness, and motion blur.
Important Notes:
-Difficult to set up on Windows 7
-Difficult to understand at first but within a week of 20-30 minutes of use a day you'll be a pro.
-Short USB cable (REALLY SHORT)
-Red LED indicates correct power supply and the device is ready to use
-Blue flashing LED indicates the dive is capturing video
-Blue LED is strong and painful to look at :(
-Maximum quality can be view at my YouTube channel [...]
 Fried in less than a week. July 14, 2010

I got this as a gift because we have some old videos to transfer to DVD. Installing was a snap. The included Ulead editing software was hard to use, and would be almost unusable by a computer newbie. After transferring the video the whole video plays again to make it a burnable video file. Perhaps I did it wrong but the instructions are very unclear. Within a week it is fried. I connected an old 8Track player that would not play. After trying that I have a terrible hum and no video.
When it worked it was fine. Since the 8Track had problems, although it should not have fried the hardware, I will probably exchange for a new one, if possible.
 It works June 21, 2010

Works as advertized. Captured my 18 8mm home videos (2 hrs each) to the hard drive, then onto DVDs, no problems. Did not get any mix ups with sound and video not matching in sync. Only gave it 4 stars just because now that I have captured what I had on tape, I don't have a use for it. If you have stuff on tapes you want to save forever, get this.
